## Why
Clock provider failures can abort a turn while preparing time context or running clock tools. Allow turns to continue with an explicit indication that the current time is unavailable.
## What changed
- Add `features.nonfatal_clock_read_errors`, disabled by default, to report clock failures to the model without failing the turn.
- Emit a generic `failed to read current time` notice for context reads and tool errors, without exposing provider error details. Deduplicate context notices per turn and compaction window, and remove inherited notices from forked subagent context.
- Omit unavailable environment dates and explicitly clear previously visible dates with `<current_date status="unavailable" />`.
- Return external sleep clock failures to the model when the feature is enabled, preserving sleep item completion notifications.
## Testing
Add coverage for continued inference after clock failures, notice deduplication across compaction, subagent notice filtering, environment date removal and recovery, and sleep failures during initial and polling reads.
GitOrigin-RevId: a39c3723c06a6f786d8ad59d667e8b9f626c973e
## Why
Daemon recovery reloads threads but leaves interrupted work unfinished. Resume eligible work automatically from the saved conversation, even without a connected client.
## What changed
- Attempt one new continuation turn immediately after restoration, including in Plan mode. Mark the old turn interrupted and supply recovery context without creating a user message or granting new authorization.
- Require an idle thread, matching permissions, and the same single local environment configured by the thread. Skip completed, aborted, or superseded work and snapshots without environment identity.
- Add `continue_turn_if_idle` with an atomic previous-turn check so newer tasks or standalone settings changes invalidate pending continuation.
- Preserve the output schema, service tier, and root turn ID, and emit a “Resuming interrupted work” warning when continuation starts.
## Testing
Add daemon restart coverage for continuation without a client, Plan mode, permission and environment mismatches, and legacy snapshots. Add core coverage for preserved continuation metadata, absence of user-message events, rejection of superseded continuations, and exclusion of remote execution from recovery snapshots.
GitOrigin-RevId: 2b290b75d9399fc58258bcda2e85c74e9b5b3b09
## What changed
- Accept and ignore `features.personality` in user configuration, profiles, and managed requirements.
- Remove feature gating from `personality = "none"`, which strips the literal `# Personality` section when preparing model catalog instructions. Preserve explicit base instructions and existing thread instructions.
- Document deprecated personality fields in configuration, app-server schemas, and the Python SDK: `friendly` and `pragmatic` no longer select a style, and `supportsPersonality` is always `false`.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for ignored legacy flag values and managed requirements, personality opt-out behavior with the flag absent or set to either value, role overrides, and preservation of explicit base instructions, including empty strings.
GitOrigin-RevId: 4e12c66b42bfc59d6f151a5b3c28fadc6654ae99
## Why
Managed daemon recovery snapshots previously saved only loaded thread IDs, without identifying active turns or preserving their turn-specific options.
## What changed
- Capture regular, uncanceled turns after their input is recorded, saving the turn ID, output schema, service tier, and cyber access program alongside persisted thread IDs.
- Store interruption metadata atomically in the existing candidate array format so older servers can still read thread candidates.
- Begin snapshotting once admitted operations drain, while turns may still be running. Run snapshot collection and thread listener attachment independently of the event loop to keep forced shutdown responsive.
## Testing
Add coverage for running, completed, canceled, and compacting turns; recovery readiness for automatic and user turns; admitted resumes during shutdown; forced shutdown with a blocked rollout writer and child listener attachment; and legacy candidate-array compatibility.
GitOrigin-RevId: ed46342c3a5c71b09c48fa9acece2f15ae748e2f
## Why
Clients need widget presentation details to render MCP Apps without waiting for the full MCP catalog, including when replaying saved history.
## What changed
- Add `mcpToolCall.mcpAppUi` with the invoked descriptor's `resourceUri` and `preferredModelDisplayMode`, and carry it through tool-call events and saved history.
- Support `fullscreen` and default to `inline` when the display preference is missing or unsupported.
- Keep existing resource URI fields for compatibility. Leave `mcpAppUi` null for older history and tools that declare widgets only in result metadata, where clients still use catalog discovery.
- Update protocol schemas, TypeScript and Python types, and app-server documentation.
## Testing
Add parameterized integration coverage for fullscreen, missing and unsupported preferences, legacy URI metadata, and result-only widgets, verifying consistent tool events and preservation across session resume.
GitOrigin-RevId: 2a9bed804dcea8c2b4903b8406fa6710681f7f5e
## 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.
GitOrigin-RevId: 6ca20a8577155cc934b720803c3b7b3bffdf972a
## Why
Older compaction checkpoints can lack a producer model hash. Enabling thread-owned Guardian context must accommodate those checkpoints without losing user instructions or verified answers.
## What changed
- Select review policy from each history snapshot independently of the session's evidence capture policy.
- Keep legacy review for checkpoints with missing or empty producer hashes when the transcript preserves the evidence. Preserve strict compatibility checks when review depends on retained-only evidence.
- Continue capturing retained instructions and answers during migration, while supplying legacy reviews with runtime answers and subagent reviews with root authorization evidence.
- Record producer model hashes on new compactions regardless of context mode.
## Testing
Add coverage for checkpoint migration across compaction and resume in both history storage modes, snapshot policy stability, retained-evidence preservation, and authorization revalidation for owning sessions and subagents.
GitOrigin-RevId: ec72b4a51d40729173e24ac1b53b7d516ddaa825
## Why
Token plan claims can be stale, and the active account or user can change while a request is in flight. Analytics report selection and account-bound response data need to reflect the verified identity and current server plan.
## What changed
- Fetch the active account's plan once per analytics session and use it to select report endpoints and supported credit breakdowns.
- Add report loading with a fixed end date, account-scoped response caching, and token model filtering. Reuse payloads across grouping changes and evict invalid cached responses so requests can retry.
- Prefer complete attribution for usage breakdowns within the requested range; retain legacy surface/model data when attribution is incomplete and include all features in turn-start breakdowns.
- Add cancellable report-loading state with timeout and interruption errors, and preserve actionable sign-in and retry messages.
- Recheck the active identity after rate-limit reads before exposing account-bound fields.
## Testing
Add regression tests for server plan discovery, report routing and caching, model filtering, attribution fallback, failed-request retries, load cancellation, authentication recovery, and account or user changes during requests.
GitOrigin-RevId: 45c4c09f108c9703893f3ed15613437ebd7c74a8
## What changed
Copy the source thread's current attachments when creating a non-ephemeral fork, including forks at an earlier turn. Copies receive new attachment IDs and creation timestamps while preserving resource identities and payloads. Attachment membership can then change independently on either thread; referenced resources are not copied.
Await the atomic copy before publishing the fork. If copying fails, log the error and allow the conversation fork to succeed without attachments. Resuming a fork does not copy attachments again.
Document that clients should use `forkedFromId` on `thread/started` and fetch the fork's attachments with `thread/attachment/list`; copying does not emit per-attachment updates.
## Testing
Add coverage for atomic rollback, independent attachment membership, inheritance across history cutoffs, successful conversation forks after copy failures, and resuming without restoring removed attachments.
GitOrigin-RevId: 939d2c6a3073ccfcd922380c6beda45d3deac606
## 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.
GitOrigin-RevId: c38a780ac3314c2ac2deb3afc1b93b94b6f93fec
## What changed
- Add experimental `account/read.workspaceRouting` metadata containing the selected ChatGPT workspace ID, resolved HTTPS backend origin, and routing override (`us`, `us_cr`, or `NO_CONSTRAINT`).
- Discover and cache routing through `accounts/check` for saved logins, new logins, and workspace switches. Return `null` for signed-out accounts, API-only accounts, and saved credentials without a selected workspace.
- Validate discovered origins against required `chatgpt_base_url` origins. Return errors for failed or malformed discovery and retry on later reads.
- Wait for requirements and routing before publishing account updates, including to newly initialized connections. Clear routing on logout, discard stale discovery results, and guard queued notifications against account changes.
## Testing
Add unit and integration coverage for origin resolution and validation, discovery failures and retries, startup discovery, workspace switching, logout, configuration changes during discovery, and authentication changes while notifications wait for queue capacity.
GitOrigin-RevId: 2c5367bb01dd7543b08d374f44444323e40f1981
## Why
Resuming a thread initialized its collaboration mode to Default, losing the saved Plan mode and its developer instructions. Reconnecting clients also lacked a server-reported mode to reconcile changes made by another client.
## What changed
- Restore the saved collaboration mode from the latest matching `ThreadSettingsApplied` event, falling back to the last legacy `TurnContext`. Apply the effective model and reasoning effort while retaining the saved mode and developer instructions.
- Include `collaborationMode` in `thread/resume` responses and update the generated schemas and bindings.
- Use the restored mode in the TUI, including the first prompt after resume. Prefer the server's mode when restoring disconnected input, while preserving the local selection for older servers that omit it.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for persisted and legacy collaboration modes, model and reasoning-effort overrides, the resumed Plan mode display and first prompt, and reconnect behavior with and without a server-reported mode.
GitOrigin-RevId: ed064516e7fae1c1668152ab448f510cbcacfe06
The provider requirement change test asserts that no traffic reaches the
replacement provider. Start a dedicated server with
`MockServer::builder().start()` and include unexpected request methods and
URL paths in assertion failures.
GitOrigin-RevId: 4020c43c0ec0472fe54d4003bff120349ddd5597
## Why
The analytics test helper returned the first analytics request, which could contain unrelated events. Plugin-install assertions need to select the expected event even when it arrives in a later request or shares a batch with other events.
## What changed
Update `wait_for_plugin_analytics_payload` to accept an event type, scan requests until matching events appear, and return the payload with only those events. Update callers to request `codex_plugin_installed` or `codex_plugin_install_failed` as appropriate.
## Testing
Add a regression test that sends an unrelated analytics request followed by a mixed batch and verifies that the helper returns only the expected plugin-install failure event.
GitOrigin-RevId: 41290c63ea1c2a3da1efa78b81222b8da76bcbff
## What changed
Add experimental `thread/start.daybreakEnabled` so clients can set the initial preference for persistent threads. Omitted or null values leave it unset; explicit values are rejected for ephemeral threads.
Return the choice in the start response, `thread/started`, and reads before persistence. Stage it with the initial thread metadata and save it when the thread is persisted. Later changes still use `thread/metadata/update`. The preference does not select `turn/start.cyberAccessProgram` or grant access.
## Testing
Add coverage for true, false, and unset values in responses, notifications, reads, and reads after persistence and restart, plus rejection for ephemeral threads. Update existing metadata and access-program tests to exercise threads with an initial preference.
GitOrigin-RevId: 3bff3dc55a18436067bc2a3f156f5abf52d7321b
## Why
Configuration requirements did not report which login methods the running app server permits after applying managed policy, forced login settings, and workspace restrictions.
## What changed
- Add `allowedLoginMethods` to `configRequirements/read`, using the running authentication manager's effective policy rather than newly read authentication settings.
- Return requirements when login methods are restricted even without managed requirements, while preserving `requirements: null` for the unrestricted default.
- Update protocol schemas and generated TypeScript and Python types. An empty list permits no login method; older servers may omit the field.
## Testing
Add coverage for managed and forced login restrictions, workspace intersections, policy reporting after requirements files change, invalid login methods, and API-only Amazon Bedrock without ChatGPT requests. Extend tests for conflicting authentication requirements and cloud policy precedence.
GitOrigin-RevId: 56c0767a74143e793aac2ac165d0cbe98a09469b
## What changed
- Retain the trusted enterprise identity provider in runtime configuration and bind winning MCP registrations during catalog finalization. Require `features.use_xaa` and a configured identity provider for activation, while preserving existing server restrictions.
- Apply plugin `ema_auth` client, issuer, resource, and scope settings to installed and selected plugins. Disable registrations with mismatched endpoints or empty resources without rewriting plugin endpoints.
- Preserve enterprise auth policy across catalog rebuilds and rebind registrations when materialized server settings change. Keep registration rejection separate from persistent server-name vetoes so it does not disable replacement hosted apps.
## Testing
Add coverage for activation gates, configuration ownership, plugin endpoint validation, catalog rebuilds, and skipping interactive OAuth during installation of enterprise-managed plugins. Stabilize the sandbox network proxy test by reading request headers before closing the loopback connection.
GitOrigin-RevId: 3374f507d120835b285767cedbbb511fc7b0fba2
## Why
Command execution and plugin measurement events lack model and reasoning-effort labels. Attribution needs to reflect the step that invoked the command, even when model settings change before a background process finishes.
## What changed
- Add `model_slug` and `reasoning_effort` to command execution and plugin measurement analytics.
- Capture model context from resolved step settings and carry it through execution, approval, Guardian review, and plugin metrics collection.
- Preserve the first command-start model context when subsequent start notifications arrive.
- Keep the carried context out of serialized protocol items and generated schemas.
## Testing
Extend analytics tests to cover model switches before invocation and during background execution, default reasoning effort, Guardian-denied commands, and repeated start notifications retaining the original model context.
GitOrigin-RevId: af90e1c0d39bab625f2e89786085b61a9b96c0ce
## Why
Direct tool-call records need to stay associated with the invocation that produced each output, including when call IDs are reused. Completeness must describe the recorded call inventory, independently of tool success.
## What changed
- Attach direct-call records to outputs before they enter history, and set `tool_calls_complete` when the invocation's arguments are fully recorded.
- Bound pending recordings and retained metadata, release reservations on completion or cancellation, and invalidate pending records when capture is disabled.
- Apply request budgets to direct metadata and strip it from inference and compaction inputs when capture is disabled.
- Remove executed-call metadata from app-server raw response notifications and exclude its size from Guardian history retention budgets.
- Track call IDs that bypass dispatch so their reuse cannot incorrectly establish Code Mode completeness.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for direct-call attribution, malformed calls, metadata budgets, cancellation, configuration changes, compaction, notification filtering, and Guardian context isolation.
GitOrigin-RevId: 2ebd39c7f141d04788736491495109841656b4c0
Update the mock user transcript, assistant response, and expected delegation
transcript in `websocket_v2_background_agent_returns_function_output` to use
`blueberry` instead of `strawberry`.
GitOrigin-RevId: a2c6209d2565529d63c7a45a65d1162ee1f60425
## What changed
- Use literal model instruction templates and the standard fallback prompt, ignoring legacy personality variables. Retain catalog decoding compatibility and report `supports_personality` as `false` for generated model presets.
- Stop emitting `<personality_spec>` developer messages and assigning an implicit Pragmatic configuration default.
- Filter Friendly/Pragmatic overrides from TUI requests while preserving explicit `personality = "none"`. With `features.personality` enabled, this opt-out still strips the model's personality section.
- Refresh inherited model instructions for agent roles only when the personality opt-out changes, preserving custom instructions.
## Testing
Update coverage for literal legacy templates, deprecated overrides on turn start and resume, role instruction refresh, and forwarding the explicit opt-out through thread start, resume, and fork requests.
GitOrigin-RevId: 1391db4e565e010569f0885f80013d1f86b45825
## Why
Existing threads retain their model provider configuration, which can stop matching managed requirements after those requirements change.
## What changed
- Check retained providers against current managed `model_provider` and `model_providers` requirements before turn start/steer, review, compaction, manual queue start, and active goal updates. Reject requests when requirements cannot be loaded or no longer match; provider mismatches prompt users to restart Codex.
- Load managed requirements independently of user, project, system defaults, and thread configuration, and resolve Bedrock provider overrides before comparison.
- Keep interrupt, realtime stop, and goal pause/clear available. Realtime connections use separate routing and are outside these checks.
- Make detached reviews inherit their parent thread's configuration.
## Testing
Add unit and integration coverage for provider selection and definition changes, Bedrock overrides, requirement load failures, unchanged queue and goal state after rejection, and continued operation after local configuration changes. Extend detached review coverage to verify inheritance of the parent's provider route.
GitOrigin-RevId: 21abf08ad2bcc2ea4698209fa33a17485eed4740
## What changed
Replace the selectable personality templates in the bundled `gpt-5.4` and `gpt-5.5` definitions with fixed friendly instructions. Personality selection becomes unavailable for these models in the TUI, and submitted turns omit the personality override. Remove personality overrides from Python SDK examples and the walkthrough notebook.
## Testing
Update core and TUI tests to cover fixed friendly instructions, ignored pragmatic updates, unavailable personality selection, and omitted turn overrides. Preserve coverage for selectable personalities in legacy catalogs, and add coverage for resumed legacy sessions and explicit empty instruction overrides.
GitOrigin-RevId: 869a71445584272405fcbd1325efc31c224808c8
## What changed
Remove `thread/rollback`, its request and response types, generated bindings, and the core `Op::ThreadRollback` operation. Requests now follow the generic unknown-method rejection path. Document `thread/revert` as the alternative for paginated threads.
Keep historical `ThreadRolledBack` markers and legacy error deserialization so existing rollouts remain compatible with replay and migration.
## Testing
Adapt retained-context and Guardian history tests to append legacy rollback markers and resume threads, preserving coverage of surviving instructions, answers, and review history.
GitOrigin-RevId: b3da1becdf86b1869275aacb0ffc2817cee5af2e
## What changed
- Accept `disabledPluginIds` in `thread/settings/update` and `turn/start`. A supplied list replaces the saved selection; omission or `null` preserves it, and `[]` clears it.
- Return the selection in thread start, resume, and fork responses and `thread/settings/updated` notifications. Update generated schemas and client types.
- Restore disabled plugin IDs from the history retained at the requested fork boundary, preserving explicit overrides.
The selection persists across resume but does not yet filter plugin capabilities.
## Testing
Add coverage for replacing, preserving, and clearing selections without inference; turn-start notifications; resume; and fork boundaries across legacy and paginated history, with loaded and restarted parents. Add a core regression test for history restoration and explicit clearing.
GitOrigin-RevId: 654a8c2a0527228d422c0dd4919228447e2663db
## What changed
Carry optional `available_access_programs` metadata through model information, presets, caches, and the TUI, and expose it as `availableAccessPrograms` in app-server `model/list` responses. Update the generated JSON schemas, TypeScript types, and Python models.
Preserve the distinction between missing metadata and an empty `cyber` list. Ignore unknown cyber program names when reading the catalog so new server programs do not prevent older clients from loading it. Discovery metadata does not grant access; inference still enforces authorization.
## Testing
Add coverage for absent, null, empty, and populated metadata, unknown program names, and app-server serialization. Extend cache tests and verify that online refreshes persist changed access metadata even when the catalog ETag stays unchanged.
GitOrigin-RevId: b3ef5805c1c61b8d64b9b896c9c0a79120143667
## What changed
After resolving startup configuration and model defaults, reject `features.token_budget.use_history_notes_extension` when the starting model lacks `supports_experimental_context`. Return an error directing users to disable the option or select a compatible model.
## Testing
Add startup coverage for explicit configuration and model defaults, verifying rejection for unsupported models and successful activation for supported models and standalone token budgets. Update history-notes test fixtures to declare experimental context support.
GitOrigin-RevId: abf1a024efc5acf97cfc858fbb93821363769dc0
## Why
A code-mode cell can outlive its turn. Nested tool calls dispatched during a later turn need the original step's tools and context, while approval handling must still work across that turn boundary.
## What changed
- Retain each cell's originating `StepContext` for nested tool dispatch and cancel queued calls whose context has been released.
- Keep MCP approval metadata available for the lifetime of the running invocation, keyed by server and call ID.
- Apply Guardian denial accounting and interruption to the active turn, including reviews from an earlier cell.
- Carry `turn_id` in legacy MCP begin/end events so history reconstruction and rollout migration assign late completions to their original turn. Preserve the current-turn fallback for older records without it.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for originating tool selection across turns, callback and metadata cleanup, delayed MCP elicitation review, Guardian interruption of the active turn, and late MCP completion attribution with legacy compatibility.
GitOrigin-RevId: 4533379aae6e4ecb4aabe5a25e4aca5d65385d76
## What changed
Add `serverCapabilities` to `mcpServerStatus/list` responses in both `full` and `toolsAndAuthOnly` modes, including thread-scoped reads. Return the initialized server's capabilities object, including its `extensions` map, or `null` when unavailable.
Capture capabilities during initialization so they remain available when tool discovery fails. Clear them on each new connection attempt and keep them independent of shared tool caches. Update the protocol schemas, generated TypeScript and Python types, and documentation.
## Testing
Add coverage for extension capabilities surviving tool-discovery failures in both detail modes. Extend existing tests to check advertised extensions, absent capabilities after initialization failure, and serialization of unavailable capabilities as `null`.
GitOrigin-RevId: 8e9d67c10fac3a54e82bef8be5d99caaf82597d1
## What changed
Add an app-server integration test for `requirements.toml` with `unified_exec = false` and `shell_tool = true`. Verify that:
- The model receives `exec_command` without `write_stdin`.
- Command approval carries the expected thread, item, and environment IDs.
- Accepting approval completes the command and turn successfully.
- The model receives command output without a running session ID.
GitOrigin-RevId: 67977c20b9b206e210807d0ce1e305259d25b7ba
## Why
Unrecognized settings can be silently ignored, leaving typos or deprecated configuration unnoticed.
## What changed
- Collect warnings for unrecognized fields in effective configuration and requirements layers, including unknown feature keys in configuration.
- Report sources and field names without configuration values, show up to three entries, and provide migration hints for `network_proxy`, `allowed_permissions`, and `include_view_image_tool`.
- Emit project-specific warnings when starting a thread and suppress repeated startup warnings in the app server and TUI.
## Testing
Add coverage for merged configuration, disabled layers, startup and project warning delivery, omission of configuration values, and warning deduplication.
GitOrigin-RevId: 464cef87882502b19865ae10b50b6f82defb7296
## Why
Permission paths need to follow the execution host's path conventions and home directory. Literal directory names containing glob syntax must not change the meaning of deny patterns, and profile availability checks need to account for configured workspace roots.
## What changed
- Use `ConfigPathContext` to compile built-in and custom profiles, returning the resolved profile and deduplicated `PathUri` workspace roots. Materialize configured roots while retaining runtime workspace symbols.
- Use the same compiler for configuration loading, persisted profile validation, and profile catalogs. Resolve roots against the requested `cwd` when listing profiles.
- Resolve home-relative scoped rules using the supplied home directory and reject unsafe directory prefixes when constructing globs.
- Share workspace-root materialization across native paths and URIs. Deny the affected root when a workspace glob cannot be safely resolved, and clear grants for legacy home-relative workspace denials whose target is unknown.
## Testing
Add coverage for POSIX, Windows, and UNC path resolution, inherited workspace roots, scoped home denials, missing home context, and conservative denial behavior for unsafe globs. Add an app-server test verifying that profile availability reflects the requested `cwd`.
GitOrigin-RevId: ca259434742365c16d0b72629cabfbab41513a80
## Why
Running root threads retained their startup global instructions, so edits to global `AGENTS.md` files did not take effect during an active session.
## What changed
- Reload global instructions when capturing model-request context, including after tools within the same turn. Apply changes without repeating unchanged instructions or rediscovering repository instructions when the environment and trust level are unchanged.
- Preserve the last successful global instructions on read failures, suppress recurring warnings until recovery, and clear instructions when their source is removed or blank.
- Serialize refreshes and allow cancellation without blocking subsequent requests.
- Give new subagents the parent's applied instruction snapshot and update Guardian reviewer reuse to account for refreshed instructions.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for live edits and removal, read failures and recovery, warning suppression, cancellation, subagent inheritance, and Guardian reviewer reuse. Update resume, fork, and compaction tests to verify refreshed instructions.
GitOrigin-RevId: f7e9b399740fa4f45e482c070f6e901ee7cf85cd
## What changed
- Support `model_provider` and `model_providers` in managed requirements. Required selection overrides local and session configuration; each required provider definition replaces the corresponding local entry, including its authentication and headers.
- Merge provider requirement fragments before validation, preserving source-relative `auth.cwd` paths. Reject invalid cloud provider definitions before replacing the cached bundle, including unsupported Bedrock overrides.
- Expose `modelProvider` and `modelProviders` through the configuration requirements API and generated schemas. Reject writes to managed provider settings and omit their local origins, including for provider IDs containing dots.
## Testing
Add tests for requirement precedence, authentication fragment merging, path resolution, cloud cache preservation, and read-only configuration RPCs. Integration tests verify that model discovery and inference use the required gateway and ChatGPT authentication without leaking local headers, and that provider requirements survive configuration rebuilds.
GitOrigin-RevId: d1448604d4ef5662ebb5df7b693712d3b8ad6d54
## Why
Persisted turn-start events lack the originating root turn ID, so they cannot directly associate child turns with the root turn that initiated them.
## What changed
- Add optional `root_turn_id` to `TurnStartedEvent`. Use the inherited root turn ID when available, otherwise the turn's own ID.
- Centralize turn-start emission for regular turns, shell commands, and manual compaction so they record attribution consistently.
- Carry attribution into `ThreadHistoryTurnChange` when processing turn-start events and retain it through completion in the history builder.
- Keep older records compatible by defaulting missing attribution to `None`.
## Testing
Add coverage for root and child turn attribution, persistence when tool collisions fail a turn before sampling, history change propagation, and deserialization of older turn-start records.
GitOrigin-RevId: 54a80b828ca7d1c4c19f13d468c01d052e1b9130
## Why
Truncating action arguments can leave approval reviewers evaluating incomplete actions. Large actions need complete review input and explicit handling when they exceed the review budget.
## What changed
- Remove action truncation and the fixed synchronous action byte limit. Admit complete actions against the whole-request budget, splitting long text losslessly into bounded transport parts and accounting for their framing.
- Route actions exceeding the asynchronous action budget to synchronous review. Prevent cached scores from covering oversized calls, including expanded approval arguments, while allowing later small actions to recover score reuse.
- Request user approval when optional review exhausts its local input budget. Keep required review and compaction service failures closed to approval, and retire exhausted review sessions.
## Testing
Add coverage for complete large-action delivery, optional user fallback, required-review denial, subsequent review recovery, async overflow through MCP approval routing, and lossless text splitting with budget accounting.
GitOrigin-RevId: 08f06e68a94b2f779480dd6b6cf5bc30b241f6dd
## What changed
- Add `thread/attachment/add`, `thread/attachment/list`, and `thread/attachment/remove` to manage durable resource references without loading the owning thread or changing conversation history.
- Identify attachments by thread, `attachmentType`, and `identityKey`. Repeated adds return the existing attachment; repeated removals succeed without emitting another update. Listing supports cursor pagination.
- Broadcast `thread/attachment/updated` after creation or deletion, after responding to the requester. Serialize attachment mutations with thread lifecycle operations and reject stores that do not support attachments.
- Update protocol schemas, TypeScript and Python bindings, documentation, and TUI notification handling so attachment updates do not add untracked threads to the agent picker.
## Testing
Add coverage for unloaded threads, pagination, idempotent addition and removal, reattachment, invalid inputs, unsupported stores, response-before-notification ordering across clients, and TUI notification routing.
GitOrigin-RevId: 0d29cf903afd4e931a70a9cf96300475213b34aa
## Why
Stdio shutdown can hang on open pipes or blocked I/O, and Unix `SIGTERM` needs to run connection cleanup so owned commands terminate and session-end hooks execute.
## What changed
- Handle `SIGTERM` on a dedicated signal thread and close the stdio connection through the existing cleanup path.
- Move blocking stdin and stdout operations to dedicated threads so they do not hold the Tokio runtime open. Cancel message forwarding on `SIGTERM` to release blocked producers.
- When shutdown signal handling is enabled on Unix, start a shared 45-second watchdog on EOF or `SIGTERM`. Preserve the first deadline and exit with status `1` if cleanup or runtime teardown stalls, even when logging is blocked.
## Testing
Add Unix integration coverage for shutdown with open pipes, blocked stdout, blocked stderr, and a stalled filesystem write. Verify command and child-process termination, preserve the EOF deadline when `SIGTERM` follows, and extend session-end hook coverage to `SIGTERM`.

## Why
Session isolation relied on Guardian source attribution. An explicit policy lets callers control inherited capabilities independently of how a session is attributed.
## What changed
- Add `SessionIsolation` with default `Inherit` and opt-in `Isolated` modes, captured at session startup through `ExtensionDataInit`.
- Use the policy to control inherited instructions, extensions, execution rules, and MCP resources. Isolated sessions retain managed execution rules and omit executor-discovered MCP servers.
- Explicitly isolate Guardian reviewers while preserving source-based fallback for older callers and saved reviewers.
## Testing
Extend delegate tests to cover isolation independently of attribution, update execution-policy coverage to supply the explicit policy, and assert that managed reviewers do not inherit the parent's configured MCP tools.

## Why
MCP tool and connector descriptions were included in required action JSON, consuming review input budget even though they are optional metadata.
## What changed
Move `tool_description` and `connector_description` into an optional, explicitly untrusted `guardian_tool_descriptions` fragment. Limit each description to 400 estimated tokens, escape closing tags, and allow budget enforcement to omit the fragment while retaining the required action JSON. Preserve nested arguments such as `arguments.description` and mention tool descriptions in the budget omission notice.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for oversized descriptions, escaped closing markers, and budget eviction without changing action arguments. Update MCP approval and elicitation tests to verify descriptions appear separately from the action JSON.

## Why
Transient rate limits can end automatic approval reviews prematurely, and review failures currently report high risk even when no assessment completed.
## What changed
- Retry rate limits and recoverable exhausted-stream errors, while excluding non-transient HTTP failures.
- Preserve server retry delays after stream retries are exhausted and honor them within the review deadline. Scope retry advice to the current turn so reused sessions cannot apply stale delays.
- Keep failed reviews denied, but leave risk and authorization unset and explain that the review could not complete without declaring the action unsafe.
## Testing
Add an integration test covering rate-limit recovery through approval and tool execution, asserting that the action executes exactly once after approval. Update failure assertions to check absent assessment fields and the review-failure explanation.

## What changed
Add the default-off `api_key_model_discovery` feature and expose it through app-server experimental feature enablement, respecting user configuration overrides.
When enabled, fetch OpenAI API-key model metadata from the Codex backend, honoring explicit provider base URLs. Treat remote catalogs containing visible models as authoritative. When disabled at startup, skip discovery requests and cached catalogs and retain bundled models.
## Testing
Add coverage for feature enablement and user overrides, cached catalogs across sessions, provider routing, and API-key `model/list` results. Extend coverage for remote instructions and auth-specific cache isolation.

## Why
Attachment mutations must coordinate with thread deletion so queued requests cannot use metadata belonging to a deleted thread.
## What changed
- Add typed `ThreadStore` operations for idempotent attachment creation, paginated listing, and removal, with capability detection and unsupported defaults.
- Implement attachment operations for SQLite-backed `LocalThreadStore`, including unloaded threads, and preserve invalid-request and missing-thread errors.
- Coordinate attachment mutations with lifecycle locks and move SQLite cleanup into thread-store deletion. Remove state rows only after rollout deletion, preserving retries after cleanup failures.
- Give the in-memory store ownership of its associated SQLite cleanup and remove duplicate cleanup from the app-server.
## Testing
Add coverage for attachment pagination and idempotency, unsupported stores, error categories, lifecycle exclusion, mutations queued behind single and batch deletion, cleanup failure retries, and in-memory state cleanup. Extend the app-server descendant deletion test to verify SQLite rows are removed.

## Why
Remote-control connections and queued operations must not carry over to a different signed-in user or account. Token refreshes for the same identity should preserve the live relay connection.
## What changed
- Scope relay state and authentication recovery to a login lifetime. Retire the session on logout or identity changes and leave remote control disabled until enabled again.
- Reject stale incoming messages and queued RPCs, and cancel pending remote-control operations when their authentication owner changes.
- Start replacement sessions with fresh client, replay, and enrollment state, and prevent retired sessions from publishing status into their replacements.
- Serialize enrollment and preference persistence across sessions, retaining write permits through caller cancellation and draining admitted writes on shutdown.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for same-owner refreshes, user and account changes, stale pairing and client-revocation work, unauthorized enrollment recovery after logging in again, and persistence during cancellation.

## Why
Automatic goal continuations can repeatedly return empty final answers without
making progress. Stop this loop by marking the goal as `blocked` after three
consecutive empty turns with no other activity.
## What changed
- Observe completed turn items through a new `on_item_completed` lifecycle hook.
- Track empty final answers only for automatically admitted goal turns, resetting
the streak on activity, user turns, or goal changes.
- Preserve normal turn completion and streamed message deltas when blocking a goal.
## Testing
Add accounting coverage for the three-turn threshold and streak resets, plus
app-server tests for empty continuations and recovery through final-answer text,
commentary, or tool activity.

## Why
Hosted Codex Apps shared the `mcp_2026_07_28` protocol setting with other MCP servers, preventing independent protocol selection.
## What changed
- Add `features.codex_apps_mcp_2026_07_28`, disabled by default, for the host-owned HTTP `codex_apps` server. Enabling it attempts 2026-07-28 discovery with Legacy fallback.
- Keep other servers, including third-party registrations with Apps-like names or URLs and local stdio servers, governed by `mcp_2026_07_28`.
- Support the new flag through `experimentalFeature/enablement/set` and refresh protocol settings in existing sessions. Track protocol mode per server when deciding whether to reuse connections.
## Testing
Add coverage for independent feature and protocol selection, hosted event-stream protocol selection, standalone Legacy defaults and discovery fallback, and runtime enablement refreshing an existing app-server thread.

## Why
Saved threads need to resume after a managed daemon restart so active goals can continue without waiting for a client to reconnect.
## What changed
- Consume the recovery snapshot at startup and restore threads in the background through the shared cold-resume path.
- Trigger idle lifecycle work without attaching a client subscription, and leave already-loaded threads untouched.
- Continue recovery after individual thread failures and abort background recovery during shutdown.
## Testing
Extend the daemon restart integration test to verify goal continuation before client reconnection, restored conversation history and tools, idle-thread restoration, and recovery snapshot consumption. Include malformed snapshots and an invalid thread ID.
GitOrigin-RevId: 90e7b8f74ddc0ae327bacde1b2108b9749c65f2a
## What changed
- Atomically save successfully persisted, loaded root thread IDs to `app-server-daemon/loaded-threads.json` during graceful managed shutdown, excluding ephemeral threads and threads pending unload.
- Clear stale recovery state at startup and around daemon lifecycle operations, including explicit stops and fresh starts.
- Probe support for `--managed-daemon` before launching managed app servers, and clear recovery state best-effort when launching older binaries.
- Keep forced shutdown responsive while saving the snapshot and log snapshot failures without preventing shutdown.
## Testing
Add coverage for snapshots after active turns finish, forced shutdown without a snapshot, excluded threads, snapshot write failures, and recovery-state cleanup for stops, fresh starts, and legacy launches.
GitOrigin-RevId: 422dc32b85355510f7e4c57b7540597b47d9f0b2
## Why
`update_goal` only accepted `complete` and `blocked`, preventing the agent from pausing a goal in response to an explicit user request.
## What changed
- Accept `paused` and account for final goal progress when pausing, with budget limits taking precedence.
- Update tool instructions and goal prompts to allow pauses only at the user's explicit request, report the returned status, and stop goal work. A later resume revokes the pause request.
## Testing
Extend coverage for pause accounting, budget-limit precedence, rejection of resume and system-limit statuses, and preservation of a tool-paused goal when resuming a thread.
GitOrigin-RevId: c3c15a51f848ce6eb65854d51b1a1bc75bb456a7
## Why
Loaded threads, including idle threads whose rollout files are still deferred, need to survive a managed daemon restart. Shutdown must also remain forceable when rollout I/O is blocked.
## What changed
- Add a hidden `--managed-daemon` option for app-server Unix socket transports. After active turns and admitted requests drain, save loaded persistent root threads before exiting.
- Skip ephemeral threads, non-root agent threads, and threads pending unload. Log persistence failures and continue saving other threads.
- Apply shutdown admission checks to thread and turn settings updates, thread deletion, and archiving.
- Keep force signals and daemon shutdown requests responsive during persistence. Return `AppServerExit::Forced` so executables can exit without waiting for runtime teardown.
## Testing
Add integration coverage for resuming active and idle threads after restart, forcing shutdown during active work, and forcing shutdown with a blocked rollout writer. Extend shutdown rejection coverage to deletion and settings updates.
