Anthony Tafoya 2cab11ca40 Pin the Rust toolchain to 1.95.0 (#57373)
## What changed

- Replace Rust `1.99.1` pins with `1.95.0` across Cargo, Bazel, CI, release workflows, and Windows setup, and update the Bazel lockfile.
- Adjust Rust APIs, borrowing, and lint-related code for the pinned toolchain, and box MCP tool dispatch to bound compiler async-layout query depth.
- Update the halfwidth sound mark snapshot and allow optional symbol hash suffixes in the code mode host package smoke test.

Codex package builder

This package contains the implementation behind scripts/build_codex_package.py. The top-level script is the stable executable entry point; these modules keep the package-building logic split by responsibility.

Run the builder through just:

just assemble-codex-package --help
just assemble-codex-package --variant codex-app-server
just assemble-codex-package --target x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

The builder creates a canonical Codex package directory:

.
├── codex-package.json
├── bin
│   ├── <entrypoint>[.exe]
│   └── codex-code-mode-host[.exe]
├── codex-resources
│   ├── bwrap                             # Linux only
│   ├── codex-command-runner.exe          # Windows only
│   └── codex-windows-sandbox-setup.exe   # Windows only
└── codex-path
    └── rg[.exe]

The package directory is the primary artifact. Archive formats such as .tar.gz, .tar.zst, and .zip are serializations of that directory.

If --target is omitted, the builder uses the release target for the current host platform. On Linux, that default is a musl target to match Codex release artifacts; pass a GNU Linux target explicitly for native glibc local builds. If --package-dir is omitted, the builder creates a new temporary directory and prints its path after the package is built.

The --variant flag selects the package entrypoint. Supported variants are codex and codex-app-server. The --package-version flag sets the version in codex-package.json; it defaults to [workspace.package].version in codex-rs/Cargo.toml.

Source-built artifacts

Artifacts built from this repository are built by the package builder in one grouped cargo build command per package when they are needed and no prebuilt override was provided:

  • all targets: the selected entrypoint, unless --entrypoint-bin is provided
  • all targets: codex-code-mode-host, unless --code-mode-host-bin is provided
  • Linux targets: bwrap, unless --bwrap-bin is provided
  • Windows targets: codex-command-runner and codex-windows-sandbox-setup, unless the corresponding prebuilt helper flags are provided

The default cargo profile is dev-small because local iteration should favor fast, small builds. Release jobs should pass --cargo-profile release and an explicit target. Release jobs that already built and signed/notarized the entrypoint should pass --entrypoint-bin so the package contains that exact binary instead of rebuilding it.

Release jobs should likewise pass --code-mode-host-bin so the package contains the signed host executable beside the signed entrypoint.

On Linux and macOS, the builder strips symbols from the package copies of source-built release-profile entrypoint and code-mode host binaries. Cargo outputs retain their symbols for debugging. The default --strip auto also preserves development/profiling builds and prebuilt inputs byte-for-byte, including signatures. Use --strip all to also strip prebuilt entrypoint/host copies, or --strip none to keep symbols in every package copy. Strip before production signing; --strip all is not appropriate for inputs whose release signatures must be preserved. Windows MSVC symbols are separate PDB files and are not included in the package.

macOS uses xcrun strip -S -x, matching the release pipeline and preserving executable ad-hoc signatures. Linux uses llvm-strip, a target-prefixed GNU strip, or native GNU strip when the host architecture matches. For cross builds, install llvm-strip or pass --strip-tool /path/to/target-strip. Missing tools or strip failures fail the build; use --strip none to deliberately opt out. Third-party resources are copied unchanged. In particular, never strip bwrap after its integrity digest has been embedded in Codex.

Release jobs that already built package resource binaries should also pass the corresponding resource flags: --bwrap-bin for Linux packages, and --codex-command-runner-bin plus --codex-windows-sandbox-setup-bin for Windows packages. This keeps package archive creation as a pure staging step after signing instead of rebuilding resources.

When the builder source-builds an entrypoint for a Darwin or Linux target, it downloads and verifies the matching Codex-built V8 release pair before invoking Cargo and sets RUSTY_V8_ARCHIVE plus RUSTY_V8_SRC_BINDING_PATH for that build. Windows targets keep Cargo's release-build MSVC artifact path. Explicit overrides remain authoritative when both variables are already set. Set V8_FROM_SOURCE=1 to leave the build with the v8 crate source-build path.

rg is not built from this repository, so the builder fetches it from the DotSlash manifest at scripts/codex_package/rg. Downloaded archives are cached under $TMPDIR/codex-package/<target>-rg and are reused only after the recorded size and SHA-256 digest have been verified. Pass --rg-bin to use a local ripgrep executable instead.
