## Summary
- remove the final whole-blob truncation pass from realtime
startup-context assembly
- enforce fixed per-section budgets, including each section heading
- keep the existing per-section caps and raise the overall realtime
startup-context budget to `5300`, matching the sum of those section
budgets
- add focused tests for the new wrapping and section-budget behavior
## Why
The previous flow truncated each section and then middle-truncated the
final combined startup-context blob again. Small input changes could
shift that combined cut point, which made retained context unstable and
caused nondeterministic tests.
## Impact
Startup context now preserves section boundaries and ordering
deterministically. Each section is still budgeted independently, but the
final assembled blob is no longer truncated again as a single opaque
string. To match that design, the overall startup-context token budget
is updated to the sum of the existing section budgets rather than
lowering the section caps.

## Summary
- wrap routed delegation text in a small XML envelope before submitting
it as a user turn
- escape XML text content so the envelope stays well formed
- update focused coverage for the wrapper and the affected routed-turn
expectations
- Add outputModality to thread/realtime/start and wire text/audio output
selection through app-server, core, API, and TUI.\n- Rename the realtime
transcript delta notification and add a separate transcript done
notification that forwards final text from item done without correlating
it with deltas.
- Let typed user messages submit while realtime is active and mirror
accepted text into the realtime text stream.
- Add integration coverage and snapshot for outbound realtime text.
Builds on #17264.
- queues Realtime V2 `response.create` while an active response is open,
then flushes it after `response.done` or `response.cancelled`
- requests `response.create` after background agent final output and
steering acknowledgements
- adds app-server integration coverage for all `response.create` paths

Stream Realtime V2 background agent updates while the background agent
task is still running, then send the final tool output when it
completes. User input during an active V2 handoff is acknowledged back
to realtime as a steering update.
Stack:
- Depends on #17278 for the background_agent rename.
- Depends on #17280 for the input task handler refactor.
Coverage:
- Adds an app-server integration regression test that verifies V2

This removes the temporary `codex-core` / `codex-login` re-export shims
from the ownership split and rewrites callsites to import directly from
`codex-model-provider-info`, `codex-models-manager`, `codex-api`,
`codex-protocol`, `codex-feedback`, and `codex-response-debug-context`.
No behavior change intended; this is the mechanical import cleanup layer
split out from the ownership move.
---------

## Why
`codex-core` was re-exporting APIs owned by sibling `codex-*` crates,
which made downstream crates depend on `codex-core` as a proxy module
instead of the actual owner crate.
Removing those forwards makes crate boundaries explicit and lets leaf
crates drop unnecessary `codex-core` dependencies. In this PR, this
reduces the dependency on `codex-core` to `codex-login` in the following
files:
```
codex-rs/backend-client/Cargo.toml
codex-rs/mcp-server/tests/common/Cargo.toml
```
## What
- Remove `codex-rs/core/src/lib.rs` re-exports for symbols owned by
`codex-login`, `codex-mcp`, `codex-rollout`, `codex-analytics`,
`codex-protocol`, `codex-shell-command`, `codex-sandboxing`,
`codex-tools`, and `codex-utils-path`.
- Delete the `default_client` forwarding shim in `codex-rs/core`.
- Update in-crate and downstream callsites to import directly from the
owning `codex-*` crate.
- Add direct Cargo dependencies where callsites now target the owner
crate, and remove `codex-core` from `codex-rs/backend-client`.
## 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
- close live realtime sessions on errors, ctrl-c, and active meter
removal
- centralize TUI realtime cleanup and avoid duplicate follow-up close

## 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`
- collect input/output transcript deltas into active handoff transcript
state
- attach and clear that transcript on each handoff, and regenerate
schema/tests
- add experimental_realtime_ws_startup_context to override or disable
realtime websocket startup context
- preserve generated startup context when unset and cover the new
override paths in tests
## Summary
- group recent work by git repo when available, otherwise by directory
- render recent work as bounded user asks with per-thread cwd context
- exclude hidden files and directories from workspace trees
Improve observability of realtime conversation event handling by logging
non-audio events with payload details in the event loop, while skipping
audio-out events to reduce noise.
## Summary
- Route delegated realtime handoff turns from all handoff message texts,
preserving order
- Fallback to input_transcript only when no messages are present
- Add regression coverage for multi-message handoff requests
- migrate the realtime websocket transport to the new session and
handoff flow
- make the realtime model configurable in config.toml and use API-key
auth for the websocket

Update realtime debug logs to include the actual text payloads in both
input and output paths.
- In `core/src/realtime_conversation.rs`:
- `handle_start`: add extracted assistant text output to the
`[realtime-text]` debug log.
- `handle_text`: add incoming text input (`params.text`) to the
`[realtime-text]` debug log.
No tests were run (per request).
- add top-level `experimental_realtime_ws_backend_prompt` config key
(experimental / do not use) and include it in config schema
- apply the override only to `Op::RealtimeConversation` websocket
`backend_prompt`, with config + realtime tests
- add top-level `experimental_realtime_ws_base_url` config key
(experimental / do not use) and include it in config schema
- apply the override only to `Op::RealtimeConversation` websocket
transport, with config + realtime tests
- Introduce `RealtimeConversationManager` for realtime API management
- Add `op::conversation` to start conversation, insert audio, insert
text, and close conversation.
- emit conversation lifecycle and realtime events.
- Move shared realtime payload types into codex-protocol and add core
e2e websocket tests for start/replace/transport-close paths.
Things to consider:
- Should we use the same `op::` and `Events` channel to carry audio? I
think we should try this simple approach and later we can create
separate one if the channels got congested.
- Sending text updates to the client: we can start simple and later
restrict that.
- Provider auth isn't wired for now intentionally
