## Summary
Fixes#15189.
Custom model providers that set `requires_openai_auth = false` could
only use static credentials via `env_key` or
`experimental_bearer_token`. That is not enough for providers that mint
short-lived bearer tokens, because Codex had no way to run a command to
obtain a bearer token, cache it briefly in memory, and retry with a
refreshed token after a `401`.
This PR adds that provider config and wires it through the existing auth
design: request paths still go through `AuthManager.auth()` and
`UnauthorizedRecovery`, with `core` only choosing when to use a
provider-backed bearer-only `AuthManager`.
## Scope
To keep this PR reviewable, `/models` only uses provider auth for the
initial request in this change. It does **not** add a dedicated `401`
retry path for `/models`; that can be follow-up work if we still need it
after landing the main provider-token support.
## Example Usage
```toml
model_provider = "corp-openai"
[model_providers.corp-openai]
name = "Corp OpenAI"
base_url = "https://gateway.example.com/openai"
requires_openai_auth = false
[model_providers.corp-openai.auth]
command = "gcloud"
args = ["auth", "print-access-token"]
timeout_ms = 5000
refresh_interval_ms = 300000
```
The command contract is intentionally small:
- write the bearer token to `stdout`
- exit `0`
- any leading or trailing whitespace is trimmed before the token is used
## What Changed
- add `model_providers.<id>.auth` to the config model and generated
schema
- validate that command-backed provider auth is mutually exclusive with
`env_key`, `experimental_bearer_token`, and `requires_openai_auth`
- build a bearer-only `AuthManager` for `ModelClient` and
`ModelsManager` when a provider configures `auth`
- let normal Responses requests and realtime websocket connects use the
provider-backed bearer source through the same `AuthManager.auth()` path
- allow `/models` online refresh for command-auth providers and attach
the provider token to the initial `/models` request
- keep `auth.cwd` available as an advanced escape hatch and include it
in the generated config schema
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-core provider_auth_command`
- `cargo test -p codex-core
refresh_available_models_uses_provider_auth_token`
- `cargo test -p codex-core
test_deserialize_provider_auth_config_defaults`
## Docs
- `developers.openai.com/codex` should document the new
`[model_providers.<id>.auth]` block and the token-command contract

###### Summary
- Adds auth-env telemetry that records whether key auth-related env
overrides were present on session start and request paths.
- Threads those auth-env fields through `/responses`, websocket, and
`/models` telemetry and feedback metadata.
- Buckets custom provider `env_key` configuration to a safe
`"configured"` value instead of emitting raw config text.
- Keeps the slice observability-only: no raw token values or raw URLs
are emitted.
###### Rationale (from spec findings)
- 401 and auth-path debugging needs a way to distinguish env-driven auth
paths from sessions with no auth env override.
- Startup and model-refresh failures need the same auth-env diagnostics
as normal request failures.
- Feedback and Sentry tags need the same auth-env signal as OTel events
so reports can be triaged consistently.
- Custom provider config is user-controlled text, so the telemetry
contract must stay presence-only / bucketed.
###### Scope
- Adds a small `AuthEnvTelemetry` bundle for env presence collection and
threads it through the main request/session telemetry paths.
- Does not add endpoint/base-url/provider-header/geo routing attribution
or broader telemetry API redesign.
###### Trade-offs
- `provider_env_key_name` is bucketed to `"configured"` instead of
preserving the literal configured env var name.
- `/models` is included because startup/model-refresh auth failures need
the same diagnostics, but broader parity work remains out of scope.
- This slice keeps the existing telemetry APIs and layers auth-env
fields onto them rather than redesigning the metadata model.
###### Client follow-up
- Add the separate endpoint/base-url attribution slice if routing-source
diagnosis is still needed.
- Add provider-header or residency attribution only if auth-env presence
proves insufficient in real reports.
- Revisit whether any additional auth-related env inputs need safe
bucketing after more 401 triage data.

## Why
Once the repo-local lint exists, `codex-rs` needs to follow the
checked-in convention and CI needs to keep it from drifting. This commit
applies the fallback `/*param*/` style consistently across existing
positional literal call sites without changing those APIs.
The longer-term preference is still to avoid APIs that require comments
by choosing clearer parameter types and call shapes. This PR is
intentionally the mechanical follow-through for the places where the
existing signatures stay in place.
After rebasing onto newer `main`, the rollout also had to cover newly
introduced `tui_app_server` call sites. That made it clear the first cut
of the CI job was too expensive for the common path: it was spending
almost as much time installing `cargo-dylint` and re-testing the lint
crate as a representative test job spends running product tests. The CI
update keeps the full workspace enforcement but trims that extra
overhead from ordinary `codex-rs` PRs.
## What changed
- keep a dedicated `argument_comment_lint` job in `rust-ci`
- mechanically annotate remaining opaque positional literals across
`codex-rs` with exact `/*param*/` comments, including the rebased
`tui_app_server` call sites that now fall under the lint
- keep the checked-in style aligned with the lint policy by using
`/*param*/` and leaving string and char literals uncommented
- cache `cargo-dylint`, `dylint-link`, and the relevant Cargo
registry/git metadata in the lint job
- split changed-path detection so the lint crate's own `cargo test` step
runs only when `tools/argument-comment-lint/*` or `rust-ci.yml` changes
- continue to run the repo wrapper over the `codex-rs` workspace, so
product-code enforcement is unchanged
Most of the code changes in this commit are intentionally mechanical
comment rewrites or insertions driven by the lint itself.
## Verification
- `./tools/argument-comment-lint/run.sh --workspace`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui-app-server -p codex-tui`
- parsed `.github/workflows/rust-ci.yml` locally with PyYAML

###### Summary
- Add client-visible 401 diagnostics for auth attachment, upstream auth classification, and 401 request id / cf-ray correlation.
- Record unauthorized recovery mode, phase, outcome, and retry/follow-up status without changing auth behavior.
- Surface the highest-signal auth and recovery fields on uploaded client bug reports so they are usable in Sentry.
- Preserve original unauthorized evidence under `auth_401_*` while keeping follow-up result tags separate.
###### Rationale (from spec findings)
- The dominant bucket needed proof of whether the client attached auth before send or upstream still classified the request as missing auth.
- Client uploads needed to show whether unauthorized recovery ran and what the client tried next.
- Request id and cf-ray needed to be preserved on the unauthorized response so server-side correlation is immediate.
- The bug-report path needed the same auth evidence as the request telemetry path, otherwise the observability would not be operationally useful.
###### Scope
- Add auth 401 and unauthorized-recovery observability in `codex-rs/core`, `codex-rs/codex-api`, and `codex-rs/otel`, including feedback-tag surfacing.
- Keep auth semantics, refresh behavior, retry behavior, endpoint classification, and geo-denial follow-up work out of this PR.
###### Trade-offs
- This exports only safe auth evidence: header presence/name, upstream auth classification, request ids, and recovery state. It does not export token values or raw upstream bodies.
- This keeps websocket connection reuse as a transport clue because it can help distinguish stale reused sessions from fresh reconnects.
- Misroute/base-url classification and geo-denial are intentionally deferred to a separate follow-up PR so this review stays focused on the dominant auth 401 bucket.
###### Client follow-up
- PR 2 will add misroute/provider and geo-denial observability plus the matching feedback-tag surfacing.
- A separate host/app-server PR should log auth-decision inputs so pre-send host auth state can be correlated with client request evidence.
- `device_id` remains intentionally separate until there is a safe existing source on the feedback upload path.

We regularly get bug reports from users who mistakenly have the
`OPENAI_BASE_URL` environment variable set. This PR deprecates this
environment variable in favor of a top-level config key
`openai_base_url` that is used for the same purpose. By making it a
config key, it will be more visible to users. It will also participate
in all of the infrastructure we've added for layered and managed
configs.
Summary
- introduce the `openai_base_url` top-level config key, update
schema/tests, and route the built-in openai provider through it while
- fall back to deprecated `OPENAI_BASE_URL` env var but warn user of
deprecation when no `openai_base_url` config key is present
- update CLI, SDK, and TUI code to prefer the new config path (with a
deprecated env-var fallback) and document the SDK behavior change
## Description
This PR expands tracing coverage across app-server thread startup, core
session initialization, and the Responses transport layer. It also gives
core dispatch spans stable operation-specific names so traces are easier
to follow than the old generic `submission_dispatch` spans.
Also use `fmt::Display` for types that we serialize in traces so we send
strings instead of rust types
## Why
PR #13783 moved the `codex.rs` unit tests into `codex_tests.rs`. This
applies the same extraction pattern across the rest of `codex-rs/core`
so the production modules stay focused on runtime code instead of large
inline test blocks.
Keeping the tests in sibling files also makes follow-up edits easier to
review because product changes no longer have to share a file with
hundreds or thousands of lines of test scaffolding.
## What changed
- replaced each inline `mod tests { ... }` in `codex-rs/core/src/**`
with a path-based module declaration
- moved each extracted unit test module into a sibling `*_tests.rs`
file, using `mod_tests.rs` for `mod.rs` modules
- preserved the existing `cfg(...)` guards and module-local structure so
the refactor remains structural rather than behavioral
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-core --lib` (`1653 passed; 0 failed; 5 ignored`)
- `just fix -p codex-core`
- `cargo fmt --check`
- `cargo shear`
## Summary
Add original-resolution support for `view_image` behind the
under-development `view_image_original_resolution` feature flag.
When the flag is enabled and the target model is `gpt-5.3-codex` or
newer, `view_image` now preserves original PNG/JPEG/WebP bytes and sends
`detail: "original"` to the Responses API instead of using the legacy
resize/compress path.
## What changed
- Added `view_image_original_resolution` as an under-development feature
flag.
- Added `ImageDetail` to the protocol models and support for serializing
`detail: "original"` on tool-returned images.
- Added `PromptImageMode::Original` to `codex-utils-image`.
- Preserves original PNG/JPEG/WebP bytes.
- Keeps legacy behavior for the resize path.
- Updated `view_image` to:
- use the shared `local_image_content_items_with_label_number(...)`
helper in both code paths
- select original-resolution mode only when:
- the feature flag is enabled, and
- the model slug parses as `gpt-5.3-codex` or newer
- Kept local user image attachments on the existing resize path; this
change is specific to `view_image`.
- Updated history/image accounting so only `detail: "original"` images
use the docs-based GPT-5 image cost calculation; legacy images still use
the old fixed estimate.
- Added JS REPL guidance, gated on the same feature flag, to prefer JPEG
at 85% quality unless lossless is required, while still allowing other
formats when explicitly requested.
- Updated tests and helper code that construct
`FunctionCallOutputContentItem::InputImage` to carry the new `detail`
field.
## Behavior
### Feature off
- `view_image` keeps the existing resize/re-encode behavior.
- History estimation keeps the existing fixed-cost heuristic.
### Feature on + `gpt-5.3-codex+`
- `view_image` sends original-resolution images with `detail:
"original"`.
- PNG/JPEG/WebP source bytes are preserved when possible.
- History estimation uses the GPT-5 docs-based image-cost calculation
for those `detail: "original"` images.

#### What
Try matching `\w+`-namespaced model after `longest prefix` as heuristic
to match `ModelInfo` from list of candidates.
This shouldn't regress existing behavior:
- `gpt-5.2-codex` -> `gpt-5.2` if `gpt-5.2-codex` not present
- `gpt-5.3` -> `gpt-5` if `gpt-5.3` not present
- `gpt-9` still doesn't match anything
while being more forgiving for custom prefixes:
- `oai/gpt-5.3-codex` -> `gpt-5.3-codex`
#### Tests
Added unit test.
rm `PRESETS` list harcoded in `model_presets` as we now have bundled
`models.json` with equivalent info.
update logic to rely on bundled models instead, update tests.
TL;DR
Add top-level `model_catalog_json` config support so users can supply a
local model catalog override from a JSON file path (including adding new
models) without backend changes.
### Problem
Codex previously had no clean client-side way to replace/overlay model
catalog data for local testing of model metadata and new model entries.
### Fix
- Add top-level `model_catalog_json` config field (JSON file path).
- Apply catalog entries when resolving `ModelInfo`:
1. Base resolved model metadata (remote/fallback)
2. Catalog overlay from `model_catalog_json`
3. Existing global top-level overrides (`model_context_window`,
`model_supports_reasoning_summaries`, etc.)
### Note
Will revisit per-field overrides in a follow-up
### Tests
Added tests
rm `remote_models` feature flag.
We see issues like #11527 when a user has `remote_models` disabled, as
we always use the default fallback `ModelInfo`. This causes issues with
model performance.
Builds on #11690, which helps by warning the user when they are using
the default fallback. This PR will make that happen much less frequently
as an accidental consequence of disabling `remote_models`.
### What
It's currently unclear when the harness falls back to the default,
generic `ModelInfo`. This happens when the `remote_models` feature is
disabled or the model is truly unknown, and can lead to bad performance
and issues in the harness.
Add a user-facing warning when this happens so they are aware when their
setup is broken.
### Tests
Added tests, tested locally.
## Summary
Preserve the specified model slug when we get a prefix-based match
## Testing
- [x] added unit test

## Why
`codex-core` was being built in multiple feature-resolved permutations
because test-only behavior was modeled as crate features. For a large
crate, those permutations increase compile cost and reduce cache reuse.
## Net Change
- Removed the `test-support` crate feature and related feature wiring so
`codex-core` no longer needs separate feature shapes for test consumers.
- Standardized cross-crate test-only access behind
`codex_core::test_support`.
- External test code now imports helpers from
`codex_core::test_support`.
- Underlying implementation hooks are kept internal (`pub(crate)`)
instead of broadly public.
## Outcome
- Fewer `codex-core` build permutations.
- Better incremental cache reuse across test targets.
- No intended production behavior change.
The dynamic model refresh feature (`https://api.openai.com/v1/models`
endpoint) is currently gated on a runtime check for an auth method other
than API Key. It should be gated on a check specifically for ChatGPT
Auth because some custom model providers (e.g. for local models) use no
auth mechanism. A call to `self.auth_manager.auth_mode()` will return
`None` in this case.

Match model metadata by longest matching remote slug prefix before local
fallback.
- Update `get_model_info` to prefer the most specific remote slug prefix
for the requested model.
- Add an integration test to assert `gpt-5.3-codex-test` resolves to
`gpt-5.3-codex` over `gpt-5.3`.
So that the rest of the codebase (like TUI) don't need to be concerned
whether ChatGPT auth was handled by Codex itself or passed in via
app-server's external auth mode.
When using ChatGPT in names of types, we should be consistent, so this
renames some types with `ChatGpt` in the name to `Chatgpt`. From
https://rust-lang.github.io/api-guidelines/naming.html:
> In `UpperCamelCase`, acronyms and contractions of compound words count
as one word: use `Uuid` rather than `UUID`, `Usize` rather than `USize`
or `Stdin` rather than `StdIn`. In `snake_case`, acronyms and
contractions are lower-cased: `is_xid_start`.
This PR updates existing uses of `ChatGpt` and changes them to
`Chatgpt`. Though in all cases where it could affect the wire format, I
visually inspected that we don't change anything there. That said, this
_will_ change the codegen because it will affect the spelling of type
names.
For example, this renames `AuthMode::ChatGPT` to `AuthMode::Chatgpt` in
`app-server-protocol`, but the wire format is still `"chatgpt"`.
This PR also updates a number of types in `codex-rs/core/src/auth.rs`.
This enables a new use case where `codex app-server` is embedded into a
parent application that will directly own the user's ChatGPT auth
lifecycle, which means it owns the user’s auth tokens and refreshes it
when necessary. The parent application would just want a way to pass in
the auth tokens for codex to use directly.
The idea is that we are introducing a new "auth mode" currently only
exposed via app server: **`chatgptAuthTokens`** which consist of the
`id_token` (stores account metadata) and `access_token` (the bearer
token used directly for backend API calls). These auth tokens are only
stored in-memory. This new mode is in addition to the existing `apiKey`
and `chatgpt` auth modes.
This PR reuses the shape of our existing app-server account APIs as much
as possible:
- Update `account/login/start` with a new `chatgptAuthTokens` variant,
which will allow the client to pass in the tokens and have codex
app-server use them directly. Upon success, the server emits
`account/login/completed` and `account/updated` notifications.
- A new server->client request called
`account/chatgptAuthTokens/refresh` which the server can use whenever
the access token previously passed in has expired and it needs a new one
from the parent application.
I leveraged the core 401 retry loop which typically triggers auth token
refreshes automatically, but made it pluggable:
- **chatgpt** mode refreshes internally, as usual.
- **chatgptAuthTokens** mode calls the client via
`account/chatgptAuthTokens/refresh`, the client responds with updated
tokens, codex updates its in-memory auth, then retries. This RPC has a
10s timeout and handles JSON-RPC errors from the client.
Also some additional things:
- chatgpt logins are blocked while external auth is active (have to log
out first. typically clients will pick one OR the other, not support
both)
- `account/logout` clears external auth in memory
- Ensures that if `forced_chatgpt_workspace_id` is set via the user's
config, we respect it in both:
- `account/login/start` with `chatgptAuthTokens` (returns a JSON-RPC
error back to the client)
- `account/chatgptAuthTokens/refresh` (fails the turn, and on next
request app-server will send another `account/chatgptAuthTokens/refresh`
request to the client).
Keep an unmasked base collaboration mode and apply the active mask on
demand. Simplify the TUI mask helpers and update tests/docs to match the
mask contract.
We have `models.json` and `/models` response
Behavior:
1. New models from models endpoint gets added
2. Shared models get replaced by remote ones
3. Existing models in `models.json` but not `/models` are kept
4. Mark highest priority as default
Have only the following Methods:
- `list_models`: getting current available models
- `try_list_models`: sync version no refresh for tui use
- `get_default_model`: get the default model (should be tightened to
core and received on session configuration)
- `get_model_info`: get `ModelInfo` for a specific model (should be
tightened to core but used in tests)
- `refresh_if_new_etag`: trigger refresh on different etags
Also move the cache to its own struct
Historically we started with a CodexAuth that knew how to refresh it's
own tokens and then added AuthManager that did a different kind of
refresh (re-reading from disk).
I don't think it makes sense for both `CodexAuth` and `AuthManager` to
be mutable and contain behaviors.
Move all refresh logic into `AuthManager` and keep `CodexAuth` as a data
object.
- Merge ModelFamily into ModelInfo
- Remove logic for adding instructions to apply patch
- Add compaction limit and visible context window to `ModelInfo`
With `config.toml`:
```
model = "gpt-5.1-codex"
```
(where `gpt-5.1-codex` has `show_in_picker: false` in
[`model_presets.rs`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/main/codex-rs/core/src/models_manager/model_presets.rs);
this happens if the user hasn't used codex in a while so they didn't see
the popup before their model was changed to `show_in_picker: false`)
The upgrade picker used to not show (because `gpt-5.1-codex` was
filtered out of the model list in code). Now, the filtering is done
downstream in tui and app-server, so the model upgrade popup shows:

/>
This isn't very useful parameter.
logic:
```
if model puts `**` in their reasoning, trim it and visualize the header.
if couldn't trim: don't render
if model doesn't support: don't render
```
We can simplify to:
```
if could trim, visualize header.
if not, don't render
```
