## What changed
- Define `SleepItem` in `codex-extension-items` and carry `clock.sleep` events through `TurnItem::Extension`.
- Preserve sleep persistence, thread-history reconstruction, and the app-server's `type: "sleep"` schema while reusing the extension-owned type.
## Testing
- Add serialization coverage for the `clock.sleep` extension wire shape and its protocol wrapper.
- Update sleep lifecycle and thread-history tests to exercise the extension-owned item.

## Why
Standalone web search can return structured result DTOs separately from its
model-facing text output. App-server clients need access to that data without
coupling Codex to every result type or field.
## What changed
- Preserve the optional `results` array from `/v1/alpha/search` as opaque JSON
through web-search completion events, thread history, and app-server
`webSearch` items.
- Keep responses from older endpoints compatible when `results` is absent, and
allow clients to ignore result types and fields they do not understand.
- Regenerate the protocol schemas and TypeScript definitions for the optional
field.
## Testing
- Cover responses with missing, empty, and forward-compatible result payloads.
- Verify standalone web-search results round-trip through app-server item
notifications and thread-item conversion.

## What changed
- Add a `ResponseItemId` type that generates item-specific prefixes with UUIDv7 suffixes and use it across response items.
- Keep deserialization permissive for legacy histories, but omit empty or unprefixed item IDs from HTTP and WebSocket requests.
- Export the new type in the generated TypeScript protocol schema.
## Testing
- Cover prefixed ID generation, legacy deserialization, prefix recognition, and outbound request filtering.

## What changed
- Add an optional `error` payload to `TurnCompleteEvent` and omit it when a turn completes without an error.
- Preserve the full terminal `ErrorEvent` through the turn lifecycle so the completion event includes the same error details emitted separately by `EventMsg::Error`.
## Testing
- Extend the stream-error integration test to verify that `TurnCompleteEvent` contains the emitted error and that the next turn can still proceed.
GitOrigin-RevId: 8d32942a44132763076130102d8b89ab356d59d0
## What changed
- Add an optional `started_at` Unix timestamp to `TurnCompleteEvent` and
`TurnAbortedEvent`.
- Populate the timestamp from turn timing state when a turn completes or is
aborted.
- Preserve the timestamp when synthesizing interrupted fork history and when
importing external sessions.
## Testing
- Verify that interrupting a turn emits a `TurnAbortedEvent` with a start
timestamp.

## Description
This PR moves hook prompts onto the canonical `TurnItem` lifecycle in
core.
Stop hooks now record their `ResponseItem` through the existing
lifecycle path, which emits `ItemStarted` and `ItemCompleted`.
App-server consumes those events directly instead of deriving a hook
prompt from `RawResponseItem`.
## Why
Hook prompts were the only `ThreadItem` app-server synthesized from
`RawResponseItem`. This brings them in line with other core-owned turn
items while preserving legacy rollout replay.
## What changed
- Route stop-hook prompts through
`record_response_item_and_emit_turn_item`.
- Materialize canonical hook prompts in `ThreadHistoryBuilder`.
- Remove `RawResponseItem` to `ThreadItem` synthesis while preserving
legacy rollout replay.
- Add focused coverage for lifecycle emission and canonical and legacy
history materialization.
## Description
This PR moves review-mode markers onto canonical `TurnItem` lifecycle:
- `TurnItem::EnteredReviewMode`
- `TurnItem::ExitedReviewMode`
Core now emits `ItemStarted` / `ItemCompleted` for both. The completed
items map back into the existing `EnteredReviewMode` /
`ExitedReviewMode` events, so raw core event consumers and legacy
rollout persistence keep seeing the old events.
This is the compatibility layer needed before paginated rollouts persist
review markers as `ItemCompleted(TurnItem)`.
## Why
Review markers were one of the remaining app-server thread items created
directly from legacy events. Giving them canonical items lets paginated
history persist stable turn/item IDs without changing legacy rollouts.
## What changed
- Added canonical review-mode `TurnItem`s and switched review flow to
emit their lifecycle.
- Added completed-item → legacy review event mappings with stable
turn/item IDs.
- Switched app-server live notifications to the generic canonical item
path and kept legacy replay compatible with old payloads.
- Updated `ThreadHistoryBuilder` to replay canonical review items even
though review turns still do not emit `TurnStarted`.
## Description
This PR migrates standalone web search onto the extension-owned
turn-item path introduced in #31283.
Standalone web search now emits `ExtensionItem::WebSearch` through
generic `TurnItem::Extension`, while app-server still exposes the
existing typed `ThreadItem::WebSearch` JSON shape. Hosted Responses API
web search stays on core-owned `TurnItem::WebSearch`.
## What changed
- Added `web_search::WebSearchItem` and `WebSearchAction` to
`codex-extension-items` under the stable `web.search` kind.
- Collapsed `ExtensionTurnItem` to generic `{ item, legacy_events }` now
that no typed extension special cases remain.
- Kept the existing `WebSearchBegin` / `WebSearchEnd` compatibility
events and canonical-first ordering.
- Updated app-server projection/history and generated TypeScript; the
app-server JSON schema is unchanged.
## Description
This PR adds a `codex-extension-items` crate for extension-owned
`TurnItem` schemas, and updates standalone image generation to start
using it via `TurnItem::Extension`.
This gives us a way to prevent Core from having to be aware of all
extension items. App-server still exposes the existing public
`ThreadItem::ImageGeneration` shape, now by wrapping the same shared
`image_generation::ImageGenerationItem` type.
The new `codex-extension-items` crate is necessary because the image gen
extension item is used by:
- `codex-image-generation-extension`, which produces it.
- `codex-tools / core`, which carry it generically.
- `codex-protocol`, which serializes it into lifecycle events and
rollouts.
- `app-server protocol`, which wraps it in public
`ThreadItem::ImageGeneration`
```
extension implementation
↓
codex-extension-items
↓
protocol / tools / app-server
```
We keep the hosted Responses API image generation as
`TurnItem::ImageGeneration` because core still owns its persistence and
legacy fanout.
### Before
Standalone image generation is implemented as an extension, but its item
representation previously lived in the core protocol. This sets the
precedent that core is aware of all extension items, which would be good
to avoid.
```
image-gen extension
→ constructs codex_protocol::ImageGenerationItem
→ emits ExtensionTurnItem::ImageGeneration
→ core matches ImageGeneration specially
→ protocol stores TurnItem::ImageGeneration
```
### After
```
image-gen extension
→ constructs extension-owned ImageGenerationItem
→ emits generic ExtensionItem
→ core transports/persists it generically
→ app-server wraps ImageGenerationItem as ThreadItem::ImageGeneration
```
Future extension items can have typed app-server APIs without adding a
new `TurnItem` variant, `ExtensionTurnItem` variant, or core emitter
match arm.
## What changed
- Added `codex-extension-items` with the closed `ExtensionItem` enum and
shared `image_generation::ImageGenerationItem` schema.
- Added generic `TurnItem::Extension(ExtensionItem)` and
`ExtensionTurnItem::Extension { item, legacy_events }` paths.
- Updated standalone image generation to emit a typed extension item and
provide its existing legacy `ImageGenerationBegin` /
`ImageGenerationEnd` events explicitly.
- Kept canonical lifecycle ordering: core emits `ItemStarted` /
`ItemCompleted` before extension-provided legacy events.
## Follow-up
Standalone web search still uses its typed special-case path. Migrating
it later would let `ExtensionTurnItem` collapse into a single
extension-item struct.
## Description
This PR adds canonical core `TurnItem` shapes for command execution,
dynamic tool calls, collab agent tool calls, and sub-agent activity, to
be stored in the rollout file soon.
It also teaches app-server protocol / `ThreadHistoryBuilder` how to
render those items, and adds the small legacy fanout helpers needed for
existing event-based consumers. No core producer or rollout persistence
behavior changes here, that will be done in a followup.
## Making ThreadHistoryBuilder stateless
This is the first PR in a stack to make `ThreadHistoryBuilder` stateless
enough that we can materialize app-server `ThreadItem`s from only a
given slice of `RolloutItem` history, without ever needing to replay the
whole thread from the beginning.
The persisted legacy `RolloutItem::EventMsg` records are mostly shaped
like live UI events, not like materialized `ThreadItem`s. They work if
we replay the full rollout in order, but they often do not contain
enough stable identity or complete item state to project an arbitrary
suffix on its own.
A few examples:
- `UserMessageEvent` and `AgentMessageEvent` have content, but
historically do not carry the persisted app-server item ID that should
become the SQLite primary key.
- `AgentReasoningEvent` and `AgentReasoningRawContentEvent` are
fragments. `ThreadHistoryBuilder` currently merges them into the last
reasoning item, which means a slice starting in the middle of reasoning
cannot know whether to append to an earlier item or create a new one.
- `WebSearchEndEvent`, `McpToolCallEndEvent`, collab end events, and
similar legacy events can often render a final-looking item, but they
usually rely on prior replay state to know which turn owns the item.
- Begin/end legacy events are partial views of one logical item. The
builder correlates them by `call_id` and mutates prior state to
synthesize the final `ThreadItem`.
That is the problem this direction fixes. A persisted canonical
lifecycle record looks much closer to the read model we actually want
later:
```rust
ItemCompletedEvent {
turn_id,
item: TurnItem { id, ...full snapshot... },
completed_at_ms,
}
```
Once rollout has explicit `turn_id`, stable `item.id`, and a canonical
completed item snapshot, the future SQLite projector can reduce only the
new rollout suffix and upsert the affected `thread_items` rows. It no
longer needs to synthesize `item-N`, infer item ownership from the
active turn, or replay earlier events just to reconstruct the current
item snapshot.
## What changed
- Added core `TurnItem` variants and item structs for command execution,
dynamic tool calls, collab agent tool calls, and sub-agent activity.
- Added conversions from those canonical items back into the legacy
event shapes where current consumers still need them.
- Added app-server v2 `ThreadItem` conversion for the new core item
variants.
- Taught `ThreadHistoryBuilder` and rollout persistence metrics to
recognize the new item variants.
## Follow-up
The next PR https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/30283 switches the live
core producers for these item families onto canonical `ItemStarted` /
`ItemCompleted` events.
## Why
MCP tool-call events need to expose trusted app identity and action
metadata directly so v2 clients do not have to infer it from tool names
or resource URIs.
## What changed
- Add optional `appName`, `templateId`, and `actionName` fields to MCP
tool-call `appContext`.
- Populate `appName` and `templateId` from trusted Codex Apps metadata,
and derive `actionName` from the trusted app resource metadata.
- Preserve all three fields through core events, legacy protocol events,
persisted thread history, resume redaction, and app-server v2 responses.
- Document the public `appContext` fields in
`codex-rs/app-server/README.md`.
- Regenerate app-server JSON and TypeScript schemas and add coverage for
serialization, persistence, redaction, and metadata propagation.

## Why
`WorldState` currently remembers its model-visible diff baseline only in
memory. That leaves no durable source for restoring the exact baseline
after resume, fork, rollback, or compaction.
This is the second PR in the WorldState persistence stack, built on
#29833 and following #29249. It records durable state transitions; the
next PR will replay them during rollout reconstruction.
## What
- Add a `world_state` rollout item containing either a full snapshot or
an RFC 7386 JSON Merge Patch.
- Persist a full snapshot after initial context and after compaction
establishes a new context window.
- Persist non-empty patches when later sampling steps or turns advance
the WorldState baseline.
- Write model-visible history before its matching WorldState record, so
an interrupted write can only cause a safe repeated update on replay.
- Preserve WorldState records for full-history forks while excluding
them from thread previews, metadata, and app-server history
materialization.
Older binaries read rollout lines independently, so they skip the
unknown `world_state` records while retaining the rest of the thread.
## Testing
- `just test -p codex-core
snapshot_merge_patch_changes_and_removes_nested_values`
- `just test -p codex-core
world_state_baseline_deduplicates_until_history_is_replaced`

- `just test -p codex-rollout`
- `just test -p codex-state`
- `just test -p codex-thread-store`
- `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
## Why
Inter-agent messages are recorded in live history as
`ResponseItem::AgentMessage`, but rollouts stored
`InterAgentCommunication` and rebuilt the response item during resume.
This made the rollout differ from the actual Responses history.
## What changed
- store the prepared `agent_message` response item directly
- keep `trigger_turn` in a small local metadata record for fork
truncation
- keep reading older `inter_agent_communication` rollout items
## Why
view_image needs to support foreign OS remote executors.
## What
- resolve image paths against the selected environment as `PathUri` and
read them through that environment's filesystem
- keep app-server's public path field wire-compatible as
`LegacyAppPathString`, with purpose-specific UI rendering
- cover relative and absolute target-native paths in the core
integration test and run the full `view_image` suite under wine-exec
without skips
## Description
This PR cuts Codex over from generic `ResponseItem.metadata` (introduced
here: https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/28355) to
`ResponseItem.internal_chat_message_metadata_passthrough`, which is the
blessed path and has strongly-typed keys.
For now we have to drop this MAv2 usage of `metadata`:
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/28561 until we figure out where
that should live.
## Why
The rendered `<token_budget>` fragment identifies the thread and current
context window, but it does not expose enough lineage to identify the
first window in the thread or the immediately preceding window. Those
IDs also need to remain stable across compaction, resume, and rollback.
## What changed
- Track first, previous, and current UUIDv7 context-window IDs in
auto-compaction state.
- Render `thread_id`, `first_window_id`, `previous_window_id`, and the
current window ID in the full `<token_budget>` fragment.
- Persist the first and previous window IDs in compacted rollout
checkpoints and restore them during rollout reconstruction.
- Preserve compatibility with older compacted records that do not
contain the new optional fields.
- Update focused state, rendering, reconstruction, rollback, and
serialization coverage.
## Validation
- `just test -p codex-core token_budget`
- `just test -p codex-protocol compacted_item::tests`
- `just test -p codex-core tracks_prefill_and_window_boundaries`
- `just test -p codex-core
reconstruct_history_uses_replacement_history_verbatim`
- `just test -p codex-core
thread_rollback_restores_cleared_reference_context_item_after_compaction`
## Why
The token-budget context currently identifies a context window by its
thread-local sequence number. A UUIDv7 gives the model a stable opaque
identity that remains fixed for a window and rotates when compaction or
`new_context` starts the next one.
## What changed
- Preserve the existing monotonic value as `window_number` and add a
UUIDv7 `window_id` to `CompactedItem`.
- Generate and rotate the UUID with auto-compaction window state,
persist it alongside the number, and reconstruct it on resume and
rollback.
- Accept legacy compacted rollout records where the numeric `window_id`
represented the window number.
- Use the UUID only in token-budget context; existing request headers
and metadata continue using `thread_id:window_number`.
## Testing
- `just test -p codex-protocol compacted_item::tests`
- `just test -p codex-core token_budget`
## Why
App-server must report command events containing foreign-platform paths
without changing existing client or rollout path-string formats.
## What changed
- retain `PathUri` through exec command begin/end events
- convert cwd values to `LegacyAppPathString` at the app-server
compatibility boundary
- drop command actions with foreign paths and log them
- serialize rollout-trace cwd values using their inferred native path
representation
- restore Wine coverage for retained Windows cwd values and successful
completion
Add ThreadHistoryBuilder APIs for collecting incremental thread item and turn changes while applying rollout items.
Batch handling coalesces repeated changes so callers can get the latest incremental thread item changes for a set of rollout items without rebuilding full history.
## Why
Models sometimes need to pause briefly while waiting for external work,
but using a shell command for that delay ties the wait to a process and
does not naturally resume when new turn input arrives.
## What changed
- add a built-in `sleep` tool behind the under-development `sleep_tool`
feature
- accept a bounded `duration_ms` argument, matching the millisecond
convention used by unified exec
- end the sleep early when either steered user input or mailbox input
arrives
- include elapsed wall-clock time in completed and interrupted outputs
- emit a dedicated core `SleepItem` through `item/started` and
`item/completed`
- expose the sleep item as app-server v2 `ThreadItem::Sleep` and retain
it in reconstructed thread history
- regenerate the configuration schema for the new feature flag
- regenerate app-server JSON and TypeScript schema fixtures
## Test plan
- `just test -p codex-core sleep_tool_follows_feature_gate`
- `just test -p codex-core any_new_input_interrupts_sleep`
- `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `just test -p codex-app-server

## Description
This PR adds an optional `metadata` field to `ResponseItem` for
Responses API calls. Only mechanical plumbing, no actual values
populated and sent yet. Turns out just adding a new field to
`ResponseItem` has quite a large blast radius already.
This change is backwards compatible because `metadata` is optional and
omitted when absent, so existing response items and rollout history
without it still deserialize and requests that do not set it keep the
same wire shape. For provider compatibility, we strip out `metadata`
before non-OpenAI Responses requests so Azure and AWS Bedrock never see
this field.
My followup PR here will actually make use of it to start storing and
passing along `turn_id`: https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/28360
## What changed
- Added `ResponseItemMetadata` with optional `turn_id`, plus optional
`metadata` on Responses API item variants and inter-agent communication.
- Preserved item metadata through response-item rewrites such as
truncation, missing tool-output synthesis, compaction history
rebuilding, visible-history conversion, rollout/resume, and generated
app-server schemas/types.
- Strip item metadata from non-OpenAI Responses requests while
preserving it for OpenAI-shaped requests.
- Updated the mechanical fixture/test construction churn required by the
new optional field.
## Why
Multi-agent v2 `send_message` deliveries already reach the receiving
model as typed `agent_message` items with encrypted content.
Child-completion notifications are generated by Codex itself, so their
content is plaintext and previously fell back to a serialized JSON
envelope inside an assistant message.
With plaintext `input_text` supported for `agent_message`, both delivery
paths can use the same model-visible type while preserving explicit
author and recipient metadata.
## What changed
- add plaintext `input_text` support to `AgentMessageInputContent` and
regenerate the affected app-server schemas
- preserve `InterAgentCommunication` as structured mailbox input instead
of converting it to assistant text
- record delivered communications as typed `agent_message` history items
- persist a dedicated rollout item so local delivery metadata such as
`trigger_turn` remains available without leaking into the Responses
request
- reconstruct typed agent messages on resume and preserve fork-turn
truncation behavior
- remove request-time assistant-content parsing
- preserve plaintext and encrypted inter-agent deliveries in stage-one
memory inputs
- normalize and link plaintext and encrypted agent messages in rollout
traces without treating inbound messages as child results
- cover the real MultiAgent V2 child-completion path end to end with
deterministic mailbox synchronization

Move the application of the persistence policy into the thread store, so
thread stores can get raw append items rather than canonical append
items. This will enable store-specific projections over the raw input
items.
## Why
Compaction window identity is part of session history, not model-client
transport state. Persisting it with the compacted rollout item lets
resumed threads continue from the reconstructed window without keeping
mutable window state on `ModelClient`.
## What changed
- Added `window_id` to `CompactedItem` and stamp it when
`replace_compacted_history` installs compacted history.
- Moved auto-compact window id ownership into `AutoCompactWindow` /
`SessionState`; `ModelClient` now receives the request window id from
callers instead of storing it.
- Returned `window_id` from rollout reconstruction for resume.
Reconstruction uses the newest surviving compacted item's stored
`window_id` when present, and falls back to the legacy compacted-item
count when it is absent.
- Kept fork startup at the fresh default window id and updated direct
model-client tests to pass explicit test window ids.
## Validation
- `cargo check -p codex-core --tests`
## Why
Multi-agent v2 identifies agents by canonical paths, but its tool
handlers still emitted the larger legacy collaboration begin/end events
built around nickname and role metadata. App-server, rollout-trace,
analytics, and TUI consumers therefore lacked one compact path-based
completion signal that behaved consistently across live events and
replay.
The TUI also needs a bounded `/agent` status surface for v2 agents. It
should use recent local activity for previews, refresh liveness without
loading full histories, and keep the legacy picker available when no
path-backed v2 agent is known.
## What changed
- Replace the v2 `spawn_agent`, `send_message`, `followup_task`, and
`interrupt_agent` legacy lifecycle emissions with a success-only
`SubAgentActivity` event. The event records the tool call ID, occurrence
time, affected thread, canonical agent path, and `started`,
`interacted`, or `interrupted` kind.
- Expose the activity as a completion-only app-server v2
`subAgentActivity` thread item in live notifications and reconstructed
history, regenerate the protocol schemas, and count it in sub-agent tool
analytics.
- Track canonical paths from live activity and loaded-thread metadata in
the TUI, and render the activity in live and replayed transcripts.
- Make `/agent` list running path-backed agents with summaries from
bounded local event buffers. Each summary is capped at 240 graphemes,
the scan is capped at six recent items, only the last three wrapped
lines are shown, and command output is omitted. Liveness falls back to
metadata-only `thread/read` when local turn state is unavailable.
- Persist the activity as a terminal rollout-trace runtime payload and
reduce it to the corresponding spawn, send, follow-up, or close
interaction edge. `interrupt_agent` is classified as a close-edge
operation.
- Preserve the legacy picker when no path-backed v2 agent is known.
## Compatibility
App-server v2 clients that consumed `collabAgentToolCall` begin/end
pairs for these tools must handle the new completion-only
`subAgentActivity` item. Legacy v1 collaboration behavior is unchanged.

## Testing
- `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `just test -p codex-rollout-trace`
- Added focused coverage for activity analytics, terminal trace
serialization, spawn-edge reduction, `interrupt_agent` classification,
TUI status rendering without aggregated command output, and clearing
stale running state after a completed turn.
## Summary
- accept non-empty model-defined reasoning effort values while
preserving built-in effort behavior
- propagate the non-Copy effort type through core, app-server, TUI,
telemetry, and persistence call sites
- preserve string wire encoding and expose an open-string schema for
clients
- update model selection and shortcut behavior for model-advertised
effort values
## Root cause
`ReasoningEffort` gained a string-backed custom variant, so it could no
longer implement `Copy` or rely on derived closed-enum serialization.
Existing consumers still moved effort values from shared references and
assumed a fixed built-in value set.
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- Local tests and compilation were not run per request; relying on CI.
## Summary
Adds an optional `clientId` field to app-server v2 `UserInput` and
carries it through the core `UserInput` model so clients can correlate
echoed user input items without relying on payload equality.
## Details
- Adds `client_id: Option<String>` to core `UserInput` variants.
- Exposes the v2 app-server field as `clientId` on the wire and in
generated TypeScript.
- Preserves the id when converting between app-server v2 and core
protocol types.
- Regenerates app-server schema fixtures.
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- `just write-app-server-schema`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `cargo test -p codex-protocol`
- `just fix -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `just fix -p codex-protocol`
- `git diff --check`
## Why
[Recent PR](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/22709) removed
`trace_id` from `TurnContextItem`.
## What changed
- Add to `TurnStartedEvent` so rollout consumers can correlate turns
with telemetry traces.
- Note that the branch name is out of date because I originally re-added
to `TurnContextItem`, but we decided to move it to `TurnStartedEvent`.

Add owning plugin id to MCP tool call items so we can better filter them
at plugin level.
## Summary
- add optional `plugin_id` to MCP tool-call items and legacy begin/end
events
- propagate plugin metadata into emitted core items and app-server v2
`ThreadItem::McpToolCall`
- preserve plugin ids through app-server replay/redaction paths and
regenerate v2 schema fixtures
## Testing
- `just write-app-server-schema`
- `just fmt`
- `just fix -p codex-core`
- `cargo test -p codex-protocol -p codex-app-server-protocol`

- `cargo check -p codex-tui --tests`
- `cargo check -p codex-app-server --tests`
- `git diff --check`
## Notes
- `just fix -p codex-core` completed with two non-fatal
`too_many_arguments` warnings on the touched MCP notification helpers.
- A broader `cargo test -p codex-core` run passed core unit tests, then
hit shell/sandbox/snapshot failures in the integration target.
- A broader app-server downstream run hit the existing
`in_process::tests::in_process_start_clamps_zero_channel_capacity` stack
overflow; `cargo test -p codex-exec` also hit the existing sandbox
expectation mismatch in
`thread_lifecycle_params_include_legacy_sandbox_when_no_active_profile`.
## Summary
- Add optional image detail to user image inputs across core, app-server
v2, thread history/event mapping, and the generated app-server
schemas/types.
- Preserve requested detail when serializing Responses image inputs:
omitted detail stays on the existing `high` default, while explicit
`original` keeps local images on the original-resolution path.
- Support `high`/`original` consistently for tool image outputs,
including MCP `codex/imageDetail`, code-mode image helpers, and
`view_image`.
## Why
We want terminal tool review analytics, but the reducer should not stamp
review timing from its own wall clock.
This PR plumbs review timing through the real protocol and app-server
seams so downstream analytics can consume the emitter's timestamps
directly. Guardian reviews keep their enriched `started_at` /
`completed_at` analytics fields by deriving those legacy second-based
values from the same protocol-native millisecond lifecycle timestamps,
rather than sampling a separate analytics clock.
## What changed
- add `started_at_ms` to user approval request payloads
- add `started_at_ms` / `completed_at_ms` to guardian review
notifications
- preserve Guardian review `started_at` / `completed_at` enrichment from
the protocol-native timing source
- stamp typed `ServerResponse` analytics facts with app-server-observed
`completed_at_ms`
- thread the new timing fields through core, protocol, app-server, TUI,
and analytics fixtures

## Why
`Turn.items` currently overloads an empty array to mean either that no
items exist or that the server intentionally did not load them for this
response. That ambiguity blocks future lazy-loading work where clients
need to distinguish unloaded, summary, and fully hydrated turn payloads.
## What changed
- add a new `TurnItemsView` enum with `notLoaded`, `summary`, and `full`
variants
- add required `itemsView` metadata to app-server `Turn` payloads
- mark reconstructed persisted history as `full` and live shell-style
turn payloads as `notLoaded`
- keep current `thread/turns/list` behavior unchanged and document that
it still returns `full` turns today
- regenerate the JSON and TypeScript protocol fixtures

- `just fmt`
## Why
Tool families already disagree on what their existing `duration` fields
mean, so lifecycle latency should live on the shared item envelope
instead of being inferred from per-tool execution fields. Carrying that
envelope through app-server notifications gives downstream consumers one
reusable timing signal without pretending every tool has the same
execution semantics.
## What changed
- Adds `started_at_ms` to core `ItemStartedEvent` values and
`completed_at_ms` to core `ItemCompletedEvent` values.
- Populates those timestamps in the shared session lifecycle emitters,
so protocol-native items get timing without each producer tracking its
own clock state.
- Exposes `startedAtMs` on app-server `item/started` notifications and
`completedAtMs` on `item/completed` notifications.
- Maps the lifecycle timestamps through the app-server boundary while
leaving legacy-converted notifications nullable when no lifecycle
timestamp exists.
- Regenerates the app-server JSON schema and TypeScript fixtures for the
notification-envelope change and updates downstream fixtures that
construct those notifications directly.
- Extends the existing web-search and image-generation integration flows
to assert the new lifecycle timestamps on the native item events.

## Why
`McpToolCall` was still an app-server item synthesized from deprecated
legacy begin/end events. Recent item migrations moved this ownership
into core `TurnItem`s, so MCP tool calls now follow the same canonical
lifecycle and leave legacy events as compatibility fanout.
Keeping the core item close to the v2 `ThreadItem::McpToolCall` shape
also avoids spreading MCP result semantics across app-server conversion
code. Core now owns whether a completed call is `completed` or `failed`,
and whether the payload is a tool result or an error.
## What changed
- Added core `TurnItem::McpToolCall` with flattened `server`, `tool`,
`arguments`, `status`, `result`, and `error` fields.
- Updated MCP tool call emitters, including MCP resource tools, to emit
`ItemStarted`/`ItemCompleted` around directly constructed core MCP
items.
- Updated app-server v2 conversion to project the core MCP item into
`ThreadItem::McpToolCall` without deriving status or splitting `Result`
locally.
- Ignored live deprecated MCP legacy fanout in app-server v2 to avoid
duplicate item notifications, while keeping thread history replay on the
legacy event path.
## Verification

- `cargo check -p codex-app-server`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server
mcp_tool_call_completion_notification_contains_truncated_large_result`
## Why
Image-view results should be represented as a core-produced turn item
instead of being reconstructed by app-server. At the same time, existing
rollout/history paths still understand the legacy `ViewImageToolCall`
event, so this keeps that event as compatibility output generated from
the new item lifecycle.
## What changed
- Added `TurnItem::ImageView` to `codex-protocol`.
- Emitted image-view item start/completion directly from the core
`view_image` handler.
- Kept `ViewImageToolCall` as a legacy event and generate it from
completed `TurnItem::ImageView` items.
- Kept `thread_history.rs` on the legacy `ViewImageToolCall` replay
path, with `ImageView` item lifecycle events ignored there.
- Updated app-server protocol conversion, rollout persistence, and
affected exhaustive event matches for the new item plus legacy fan-out
shape.

## Why
Apply-patch file changes are now part of the core turn item stream, so
v2 clients can consume the same first-class item lifecycle path used by
other turn items instead of relying on app-server-specific remapping
from legacy patch events.
## What changed
- Added a core `TurnItem::FileChange` carrying apply-patch changes and
completion metadata.
- Updated the apply-patch tool emitter to send `ItemStarted` /
`ItemCompleted` with the new `FileChange` item while preserving legacy
`PatchApplyBegin` / `PatchApplyEnd` fan-out.
- Updated app-server v2 conversion to render the new core item directly
and stopped `event_mapping` from remapping old patch begin/end events
into item notifications.
- Kept thread history reconstruction based on the existing old
apply-patch events for rollout compatibility.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-protocol -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --test all
apply_patch_tool_executes_and_emits_patch_events`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server bespoke_event_handling`
## Why
Several legacy `EventMsg` variants were still emitted or mapped even
though clients either ignored them or had moved to item/lifecycle
events. `Op::Undo` had also degraded to an unavailable shim, so this
removes that dead task path instead of preserving a command that cannot
do useful work.
`McpStartupComplete`, `WebSearchBegin`, and `ImageGenerationBegin` are
intentionally kept because useful consumers still depend on them: MCP
startup completion drives readiness behavior, and the begin events let
app-server/core consumers surface in-progress web-search and
image-generation items before the final payload arrives.
## What Changed
- Removed weak legacy event variants and payloads from `codex-protocol`,
including legacy agent deltas, background events, and undo lifecycle
events.
- Kept/restored `EventMsg::McpStartupComplete`,
`EventMsg::WebSearchBegin`, and `EventMsg::ImageGenerationBegin` with
serializer and emission coverage.
- Updated core, rollout, MCP server, app-server thread history,
review/delegate filtering, and tests to rely on the useful replacement
events that remain.
- Removed `Op::Undo`, `UndoTask`, the undo test module, and stale TUI
slash-command comments.
- Stopped agent job/background progress and compaction retry notices
from emitting `BackgroundEvent` payloads.

- `just fix -p codex-protocol -p codex-app-server-protocol -p codex-core

- Earlier coverage on this PR also included `codex-mcp`, `codex-tui`,
core library tests, MCP/plugin/delegate/review/agent job tests, and MCP
startup TUI tests.
## Why
Guardian analytics includes time-to-first-token, but the Guardian
reviewer runs as a normal Codex session and `TurnCompleteEvent` did not
expose TTFT. The timing needs to flow through the standard
turn-completion protocol so Guardian review analytics can consume the
same value as the rest of the session machinery.
## What changed
Adds optional `time_to_first_token_ms` to `TurnCompleteEvent` and
populates it from `TurnTiming`. The value is carried through app-server
thread history, rollout reconstruction, TUI/app-server adapters, and
Guardian review session handling.
Guardian review analytics now captures TTFT from the reviewer
turn-complete event when available. Existing tests and fixtures are
updated to set the new optional field to `None` where TTFT is not
relevant.

## Summary
This PR fully reverts the previously merged Agent Identity runtime
integration from the old stack:
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/17387/changes
It removes the Codex-side task lifecycle wiring, rollout/session
persistence, feature flag plumbing, lazy `auth.json` mutation,
background task auth paths, and request callsite changes introduced by
that stack.
This leaves the repo in a clean pre-AgentIdentity integration state so
the follow-up PRs can reintroduce the pieces in smaller reviewable
layers.
## Stack
1. This PR: full revert
2. https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18871: move Agent Identity
business logic into a crate
3. https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18785: add explicit
AgentIdentity auth mode and startup task allocation
4. https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18811: migrate auth callsites
through AuthProvider
## Testing
Tests: targeted Rust checks, cargo-shear, Bazel lock check, and CI.
Deferred dynamic tools need to round-trip a namespace so a tool returned
by `tool_search` can be called through the same registry key that core
uses for dispatch.
This change adds namespace support for dynamic tool specs/calls,
persists it through app-server thread state, and routes dynamic tool
calls by full `ToolName` while still sending the app the leaf tool name.
Deferred dynamic tools must provide a namespace; non-deferred dynamic
tools may remain top-level.
It also introduces `LoadableToolSpec` as the shared
function-or-namespace Responses shape used by both `tool_search` output
and dynamic tool registration, so dynamic tools use the same wrapping
logic in both paths.

## Summary
- persist registered agent tasks in the session state update stream so
the thread can reuse them
- prewarm task registration once identity registration succeeds, while
keeping startup failures best-effort
- isolate the session-side task lifecycle into a dedicated module so
AgentIdentityManager and RegisteredAgentTask do not leak across as many
core layers

To improve performance of UI loads from the app, add two main
improvements:
1. The `thread/list` api now gets a `sortDirection` request field and a
`backwardsCursor` to the response, which lets you paginate forwards and
backwards from a window. This lets you fetch the first few items to
display immediately while you paginate to fill in history, then can
paginate "backwards" on future loads to catch up with any changes since
the last UI load without a full reload of the entire data set.
2. Added a new `thread/turns/list` api which also has sortDirection and
backwardsCursor for the same behavior as `thread/list`, allowing you the
same small-fetch for immediate display followed by background fill-in
and resync catchup.
## Problem
When a user resumed or forked a session, the TUI could render the
restored thread history immediately, but it did not receive token usage
until a later model turn emitted a fresh usage event. That left the
context/status UI blank or stale during the exact window where the user
expects resumed state to look complete. Core already reconstructed token
usage from the rollout; the missing behavior was app-server lifecycle
replay to the client that just attached.
## Mental model
Token usage has two representations. The rollout is the durable source
of historical `TokenCount` events, and the core session cache is the
in-memory snapshot reconstructed from that rollout on resume or fork.
App-server v2 clients do not read core state directly; they learn about
usage through `thread/tokenUsage/updated`. The fix keeps those roles
separate: core exposes the restored `TokenUsageInfo`, and app-server
sends one targeted notification after a successful `thread/resume` or
`thread/fork` response when that restored snapshot exists.
This notification is not a new model event. It is a replay of
already-persisted state for the client that just attached. That
distinction matters because using the normal core event path here would
risk duplicating `TokenCount` entries in the rollout and making future
resumes count historical usage twice.
## Non-goals
This change does not add a new protocol method or payload shape. It
reuses the existing v2 `thread/tokenUsage/updated` notification and the
TUI’s existing handler for that notification.
This change does not alter how token usage is computed, accumulated,
compacted, or written during turns. It only exposes the token usage that
resume and fork reconstruction already restored.
This change does not broadcast historical usage replay to every
subscribed client. The replay is intentionally scoped to the connection
that requested resume or fork so already-attached clients are not
surprised by an old usage update while they may be rendering live
activity.
## Tradeoffs
Sending the usage notification after the JSON-RPC response preserves a
clear lifecycle order: the client first receives the thread object, then
receives restored usage for that thread. The tradeoff is that usage is
still a notification rather than part of the `thread/resume` or
`thread/fork` response. That keeps the protocol shape stable and avoids
duplicating usage fields across response types, but clients must
continue listening for notifications after receiving the response.
The helper selects the latest non-in-progress turn id for the replayed
usage notification. This is conservative because restored usage belongs
to completed persisted accounting, not to newly attached in-flight work.
The fallback to the last turn preserves a stable wire payload for
unusual histories, but histories with no meaningful completed turn still
have a weak attribution story.
## Architecture
Core already seeds `Session` token state from the last persisted rollout
`TokenCount` during `InitialHistory::Resumed` and
`InitialHistory::Forked`. The new core accessor exposes the complete
`TokenUsageInfo` through `CodexThread` without giving app-server direct
session mutation authority.
App-server calls that accessor from three lifecycle paths: cold
`thread/resume`, running-thread resume/rejoin, and `thread/fork`. In
each path, the server sends the normal response first, then calls a
shared helper that converts core usage into
`ThreadTokenUsageUpdatedNotification` and sends it only to the
requesting connection.
The tests build fake rollouts with a user turn plus a persisted token
usage event. They then exercise `thread/resume` and `thread/fork`
without starting another model turn, proving that restored usage arrives
before any next-turn token event could be produced.
## Observability
The primary debug path is the app-server JSON-RPC stream. After
`thread/resume` or `thread/fork`, a client should see the response
followed by `thread/tokenUsage/updated` when the source rollout includes
token usage. If the notification is absent, check whether the rollout
contains an `event_msg` payload of type `token_count`, whether core
reconstruction seeded `Session::token_usage_info`, and whether the
connection stayed attached long enough to receive the targeted
notification.
The notification is sent through the existing
`OutgoingMessageSender::send_server_notification_to_connections` path,
so existing app-server tracing around server notifications still
applies. Because this is a replay, not a model turn event, debugging
should start at the resume/fork handlers rather than the turn event
translation in `bespoke_event_handling`.
## Tests
The focused regression coverage is `cargo test -p codex-app-server
emits_restored_token_usage`, which covers both resume and fork. The core
reconstruction guard is `cargo test -p codex-core
record_initial_history_seeds_token_info_from_rollout`.
Formatting and lint/fix passes were run with `just fmt`, `just fix -p
codex-core`, and `just fix -p codex-app-server`. Full crate test runs
surfaced pre-existing unrelated failures in command execution and plugin
marketplace tests; the new token usage tests passed in focused runs and
within the app-server suite before the unrelated command execution
failure.
- [x] Add resource uri meta to tool call item so that the app-server
client can start prefetching resources immediately without loading mcp
server status.
## Summary
- Add `TimedOut` to Guardian/review carrier types:
- `ReviewDecision::TimedOut`
- `GuardianAssessmentStatus::TimedOut`
- app-server v2 `GuardianApprovalReviewStatus::TimedOut`
- Regenerate app-server JSON/TypeScript schemas for the new wire shape.
- Wire the new status through core/app-server/TUI mappings with
conservative fail-closed handling.
- Keep `TimedOut` non-user-selectable in the approval UI.
**Does not change runtime behavior yet; emitting `TimeOut` and
parent-model timeout messaging will come in followup PRs**
## Description
This PR introduces `review_id` as the stable identifier for guardian
reviews and exposes it in app-server `item/autoApprovalReview/started`
and `item/autoApprovalReview/completed` events.
Internally, guardian rejection state is now keyed by `review_id` instead
of the reviewed tool item ID. `target_item_id` is still included when a
review maps to a concrete thread item, but it is no longer overloaded as
the review lifecycle identifier.
## Motivation
We'd like to give users the ability to preempt a guardian review while
it's running (approve or decline).
However, we can't implement the API that allows the user to override a
running guardian review because we didn't have a unique `review_id` per
guardian review. Using `target_item_id` is not correct since:
- with execve reviews, there can be multiple execve calls (and therefore
guardian reviews) per shell command
- with network policy reviews, there is no target item ID
The PR that actually implements user overrides will use `review_id` as
the stable identifier.
