## Why Configuration reloads must cancel stale enterprise MCP startups while preserving access for running threads that still pass validation. Replacing a runtime during `thread/revert` must also leave the replacement able to use enterprise tools. ## What changed - Separate pending startup cancellation from published thread lifetimes, with independent startup state for forks and replacement runtimes. - Retain eligible enterprise MCP connections across refreshes and explicit reconnects while applying updated tool restrictions and approvals. Do not create replacement enterprise connections after initial startup. - Revoke enterprise authorization when a thread is removed, drain requests when access is disabled, and revoke a connection's authority when token renewal requires authentication. ## Testing Extend regression coverage to verify enterprise tool calls survive `thread/revert`, inherited fork configurations are cancelled after a reload, and enterprise calls fail after logout while ordinary MCP calls remain available.

Codex MCP runtime
This crate manages Codex's MCP connections, tool calls, and their captured authority.
Sandbox request metadata
An MCP server advertises the experimental codex/sandbox-state capability to
receive sandbox metadata on tool calls. The deprecated capability name
codex/sandbox-state-meta opts into the same contract during migration.
Codex supplies these entries in the request's _meta object:
| Key | Value |
|---|---|
codex/sandbox-state |
Opaque policy to pass to codex sandbox --sandbox-state-json. |
codex/sandbox-state-meta |
An identical copy of that policy under the deprecated name. |
codex/sandbox-launcher |
When available, an object with an absolute codexExecutable path to a verified full Codex CLI on the MCP server's host. |
Use the launcher path to invoke sandbox --sandbox-state-json with the entire
state value serialized as one argument, followed by -- and the command to run.
The state contains neither launcher discovery data nor deprecation messages.
Preserve unknown policy fields by forwarding the original value rather than
deserializing and reconstructing it. The two state names are aliases, not separate
policies; new consumers should prefer codex/sandbox-state.
Launcher metadata is currently available only for local stdio servers. An HTTP endpoint, including loopback, or a remote executor does not establish a shared filesystem with the harness. Codex omits the launcher when its path is unknown, not representable as UTF-8, or fails the cached capability probe. Absence does not authorize a PATH search or unsandboxed fallback. Servers that require a launcher must fail closed or require an explicit operator opt-out.
The state and launcher describe the issuing call. Retain both when starting a
long-lived subprocess or caching policy-bound results; reject changed authority
before reusing them. Tool arguments supplied by the model are not authority.
See sandbox_metadata.rs for the wire types and
binding.rs for execution-environment selection.
