canvrno-oai 914f7c7317 Override local apps settings with requirements.toml settings (#14304)
This PR changes app and connector enablement when `requirements.toml` is
present locally or via remote configuration.

For apps.* entries:
- `enabled = false` in `requirements.toml` overrides the user’s local
`config.toml` and forces the app to be disabled.
- `enabled = true` in `requirements.toml` does not re-enable an app the
user has disabled in config.toml.

This behavior applies whether or not the user has an explicit entry for
that app in `config.toml`. It also applies to cloud-managed policies and
configurations when the admin sets the override through
`requirements.toml`.

Scenarios tested and verified:
- Remote managed, user config (present) override
- Admin-defined policies & configurations include a connector override:
  `[apps.<appID>]
enabled = false`
- User's config.toml has the same connector configured with `enabled =
true`
  - TUI/App should show connector as disabled
  - Connector should be unavailable for use in the composer
  
- Remote managed, user config (absent) override
- Admin-defined policies & configurations include a connector override:
  `[apps.<appID>]
enabled = false`
  - User's config.toml has no entry for the the same connector
  - TUI/App should show connector as disabled
  - Connector should be unavailable for use in the composer
  
- Locally managed, user config (present) override
  - Local requirements.toml includes a connector override:
  `[apps.<appID>]
enabled = false`
- User's config.toml has the same connector configured with `enabled =
true`
  - TUI/App should show connector as disabled
  - Connector should be unavailable for use in the composer

codex-core config loader

This module is the canonical place to load and describe Codex configuration layers (user config, CLI/session overrides, managed config, and MDM-managed preferences) and to produce:

  • An effective merged TOML config.
  • Per-key origins metadata (which layer “wins” for a given key).
  • Per-layer versions (stable fingerprints) used for optimistic concurrency / conflict detection.

Public surface

Exported from codex_core::config_loader:

  • load_config_layers_state(codex_home, cwd_opt, cli_overrides, overrides, cloud_requirements) -> ConfigLayerStack
  • ConfigLayerStack
    • effective_config() -> toml::Value
    • origins() -> HashMap<String, ConfigLayerMetadata>
    • layers_high_to_low() -> Vec<ConfigLayer>
    • with_user_config(user_config) -> ConfigLayerStack
  • ConfigLayerEntry (one layers {name, config, version, disabled_reason}; name carries source metadata)
  • LoaderOverrides (test/override hooks for managed config sources)
  • merge_toml_values(base, overlay) (public helper used elsewhere)

Layering model

Precedence is top overrides bottom:

  1. MDM managed preferences (macOS only)
  2. System managed config (e.g. managed_config.toml)
  3. Session flags (CLI overrides, applied as dotted-path TOML writes)
  4. User config (config.toml)

Layers with a disabled_reason are still surfaced for UI, but are ignored when computing the effective config and origins metadata. This is what ConfigLayerStack::effective_config() implements.

Typical usage

Most callers want the effective config plus metadata:

use codex_core::config_loader::{load_config_layers_state, LoaderOverrides};
use codex_utils_absolute_path::AbsolutePathBuf;
use toml::Value as TomlValue;

let cli_overrides: Vec<(String, TomlValue)> = Vec::new();
let cwd = AbsolutePathBuf::current_dir()?;
let layers = load_config_layers_state(
    &codex_home,
    Some(cwd),
    &cli_overrides,
    LoaderOverrides::default(),
    None,
).await?;

let effective = layers.effective_config();
let origins = layers.origins();
let layers_for_ui = layers.layers_high_to_low();

Internal layout

Implementation is split by concern:

  • state.rs: public types (ConfigLayerEntry, ConfigLayerStack) + merge/origins convenience methods.
  • layer_io.rs: reading config.toml, managed config, and managed preferences inputs.
  • overrides.rs: CLI dotted-path overrides → TOML “session flags” layer.
  • merge.rs: recursive TOML merge.
  • fingerprint.rs: stable per-layer hashing and per-key origins traversal.
  • macos.rs: managed preferences integration (macOS only).
