## Why
Truncating the preview alone can leave the serialized MCP tool result above its byte budget because JSON escaping and the result wrapper add bytes.
## What changed
Measure the complete serialized replacement and progressively reduce the preview budget until the result fits or the preview is empty.
## Testing
Strengthen the regression test with quotes, backslashes, and newlines. Assert that the serialized result fits within the 1,024-byte budget and that truncating it again returns the existing result unchanged.

## Why
Paginated thread history can persist large MCP results in completed tool-call items. Bound these stored results to avoid retaining multi-megabyte payloads.
## What changed
Apply a 64 KiB preview budget when persisting oversized MCP results in paginated history. Replace the result with a truncated text preview of its serialized JSON, preserving `is_error` and clearing `structuredContent` and `_meta`. Leave small results unchanged.
Share the truncation helper with the existing MCP tool-call event path.
## Testing
Add helper tests for unchanged small results and oversized results with structured content and metadata. Add a thread-history test verifying that persisted MCP results contain a bounded preview with the beginning, end, and truncation marker while preserving tool arguments.

## What changed
- Accept `fileId` alongside the existing `url` form for app-server image inputs, and forward file references to the Responses API as `file_id`. Update generated schemas and client types.
- Preserve file references, image detail hints, and mixed inline/file image ordering through user-message events, thread history, and rollout migration. Retain file images when truncating tool output.
- Pass file references through image preparation without resolving them, while keeping resize-notice numbering correct. Omit them from unsupported TUI display and Guardian image context.
- Reject image-edit requests whose recent-image window includes a file reference, preventing selection of an older inline image instead.
## Testing
Add coverage for serialization, request and rollout preservation, mixed-image history ordering, incomplete ordering metadata, tool-output truncation, and rejection of unsupported image-edit selections.

## What changed
Represent images in `ContentItem` and `FunctionCallOutputContentItem` with `ImageReference::Inline`, flattened to preserve the existing `image_url` wire format. Update image producers and consumers and regenerate app-server schemas and SDK artifacts.
Preserve the Python SDK's `InputImageContentItem` and `InputImageFunctionCallOutputContentItem` class names during generation.
## Testing
Add a regression test for stable Python image class names and adapt existing image tests to the shared representation.

## Why
Replaying tool outputs under a different model can expand or shrink the history shown to the model if truncation uses the new model's budget.
## What changed
Save the originating history truncation budget on function and custom tool outputs and reuse it during replay, preserving existing tool-specific overrides. Include the existing 20% serialization allowance once, before converting byte budgets to tokens.
Rename the metadata field to `history_truncation_token_limit` while retaining `fallback_token_limit_override` as its serialized name for compatibility.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for resume and fork with different model budgets, including custom tool outputs. Extend unit coverage for existing overrides and byte-budget conversion.

## What changed
- Add a positive `output_token_limit` setting to each entry under an MCP server's `tools` configuration.
- Apply the most restrictive limit when plugin and user policies overlap, while keeping approval policy independent.
- Carry the effective MCP output budget in conversation history so tool output, post-tool hook responses, and resumed sessions use the same truncation limit.
## Testing
- Cover configuration parsing, serialization, schema validation, and plugin policy merging.
- Cover MCP output below and above the configured limit, post-tool hook responses, and session resume.

## What changed
- Convert unstructured MCP results into typed function-call output items instead of serializing the entire content array as a text string.
- Keep structured MCP results as serialized text and preserve media, encrypted content, and unknown content through their existing item conversions.
- Drop empty text items during output truncation so they do not consume API array slots.
## Testing
- Cover text-only, mixed unstructured, structured, and image-sanitized MCP results.
- Verify empty text items are discarded under byte- and token-based truncation policies.

## Why
Audio attachments could be dropped from tool outputs and reconstructed thread history, while inline base64 payload size could overstate their model context cost.
## What changed
- Preserve remote and local audio attachments in legacy user-message events and thread history.
- Keep audio from function and custom tool outputs when the model supports it and the output fits the truncation budget; otherwise replace it with an omission marker.
- Estimate inline audio cost from its duration, with a serialized-size fallback for malformed or unsupported data URLs, so compaction and truncation use model-visible cost instead of raw base64 size.
- Replace audio in messages and tool outputs with an explanatory placeholder for models without audio input support.
## Testing
Add coverage for history round trips, dynamic tool responses, modality filtering, duration-based context estimates, output-budget truncation, and remote compaction.
GitOrigin-RevId: 5ed4628850a668f8383b7cd73db71b144cc02cd1
## What changed
- Add remote and local audio variants to core and app-server user inputs, including generated JSON and TypeScript schemas.
- Preserve audio fields when converting app-server inputs and response content into thread items.
- Keep unsupported audio out of model requests, TUI rendering, text extraction, and truncated tool output, using explicit text placeholders where audio is submitted as a model input.
## Testing
- Cover app-server media conversion, unsupported-input placeholders, TUI omission, and tool-output truncation.

add new `EncryptedContent` variant to `FunctionCallOutputContentItem`
ahead of standalone websearch.
we need to be able to receive and pass encrypted function call output
from the new web search endpoint back to responsesapi, as we cannot
expose direct search results.
## Summary
`cargo test` has entails both running standard Rust tests and doctests.
It turns out that the doctest discovery is fairly slow, and it's a cost
you pay even for crates that don't include any doctests.
This PR disables doctests with `doctest = false` for crates that lack
any doctests.
For the collection of crates below, this speeds up test execution by
>4x.

- move the shared byte-based middle truncation logic from `core` into
`codex-utils-string`
- keep token-specific truncation in `codex-core` so rollout can reuse
the shared helper in the next stacked PR
