## Summary
Give guardian network-access reviews the command context that triggered
a managed-network approval. The prompt JSON now includes the originating
tool call id, tool name, command argv, cwd, sandbox permissions,
additional permissions, justification, and tty state when a single
active tool call can be attributed.
The implementation keeps the trigger shape canonical by serializing
`GuardianNetworkAccessTrigger` directly and lets each runtime build that
trigger from its `ToolCtx`. Non-guardian approval prompts avoid cloning
the full trigger payload.
## UX changes
Guardian network-access reviews now include a `trigger` object that
explains what command caused the network approval. Instead of seeing
only the requested host, the guardian reviewer can also see the
originating tool call, argv, working directory, sandbox mode,
justification, and tty state.
Example payload the guardian reviewer can see:
```json
{
"tool": "network_access",
"target": "https://api.github.com:443",
"host": "api.github.com",
"protocol": "https",
"port": 443,
"trigger": {
"callId": "call_abc123",
"toolName": "shell",
"command": ["gh", "api", "/repos/openai/codex/pulls/18197"],
"cwd": "/workspace/codex",
"sandboxPermissions": "require_escalated",
"justification": "Fetch PR metadata from GitHub.",
"tty": false
}
}
```
The network review itself remains scoped to the network decision:
`target_item_id` stays `null`. `trigger.callId` is attribution context
only, so clients can still distinguish network reviews from
item-targeted command reviews.
## Verification
- Added coverage for serializing network trigger context in guardian
approval JSON.
- Added regression coverage that network guardian reviews do not reuse
`trigger.callId` as `target_item_id`.

## Why
The Guardian review event needs to report whether the action shown to
Guardian was truncated. That field should come from the same truncation
path used to build the Guardian prompt, rather than being inferred after
the fact.
## What changed
Plumbs truncation metadata through Guardian action formatting, prompt
construction, review session execution, and analytics emission.
`guardian_truncate_text` now reports both the rendered text and whether
it inserted the truncation marker, and `reviewed_action_truncated` is
set from that prompt-building result.
This keeps the analytics field aligned with the model-visible reviewed
action while preserving the existing Guardian prompt behavior.
## Verification
- Guardian truncation tests cover both truncated and non-truncated
action payloads.
- Guardian review tests assert the review session metadata and
truncation field are propagated.

## Why
Guardian approvals now run as review sessions, but Codex analytics did
not have a terminal event for those reviews. That made it hard to
measure approval outcomes, failure modes, Guardian session reuse, model
metadata, token usage, and timing separately from the parent turn.
## What changed
Adds `codex_guardian_review` analytics emission for Guardian approval
reviews. The event is emitted from the Guardian review path with review
identity, target item id, approval request source, a PII-minimized
reviewed-action shape, terminal decision/status, failure reason,
Guardian assessment fields, Guardian session metadata, token usage, and
timing metadata.
The reviewed-action payload intentionally omits high-risk fields such as
shell commands, working directories, argv, file paths, network
targets/hosts, rationale, retry reason, and permission justifications.
It also classifies prompt-build failures separately from Guardian
session/runtime failures so fail-closed cases are distinguishable in
analytics.
## Verification
- Guardian review analytics tests cover terminal success,
timeout/cancel/fail-closed paths, session metadata, and token usage
plumbing.
- `cargo clippy -p codex-core --lib --tests -- -D warnings`

## Summary
When auto-review is enabled, it should handle request_permissions tool.
We'll need to clean up the UX but I'm planning to do that in a separate
pass

## 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.
This currently contributing to `rust-ci-full.yml` being red on `main`
for windows lint builds due to the cargo/bazel coverage gap that I'm
working on. Hopefully this gets us back on track.
## Description
Previously the `action` field on `EventMsg::GuardianAssessment`, which
describes what Guardian is reviewing, was typed as an arbitrary JSON
blob. This PR cleans it up and defines a sum type representing all the
various actions that Guardian can review.
This is a breaking change (on purpose), which is fine because:
- the Codex app / VSCE does not actually use `action` at the moment
- the TUI code that consumes `action` is updated in this PR as well
- rollout files that serialized old `EventMsg::GuardianAssessment` will
just silently drop these guardian events
- the contract is defined as unstable, so other clients have a fair
warning :)
This will make things much easier for followup Guardian work.
## Why
The old guardian review payloads worked, but they pushed too much shape
knowledge into downstream consumers. The TUI had custom JSON parsing
logic for commands, patches, network requests, and MCP calls, and the
app-server protocol was effectively just passing through an opaque blob.
Typing this at the protocol boundary makes the contract clearer.
## Why
Once the repo-local lint exists, `codex-rs` needs to follow the
checked-in convention and CI needs to keep it from drifting. This commit
applies the fallback `/*param*/` style consistently across existing
positional literal call sites without changing those APIs.
The longer-term preference is still to avoid APIs that require comments
by choosing clearer parameter types and call shapes. This PR is
intentionally the mechanical follow-through for the places where the
existing signatures stay in place.
After rebasing onto newer `main`, the rollout also had to cover newly
introduced `tui_app_server` call sites. That made it clear the first cut
of the CI job was too expensive for the common path: it was spending
almost as much time installing `cargo-dylint` and re-testing the lint
crate as a representative test job spends running product tests. The CI
update keeps the full workspace enforcement but trims that extra
overhead from ordinary `codex-rs` PRs.
## What changed
- keep a dedicated `argument_comment_lint` job in `rust-ci`
- mechanically annotate remaining opaque positional literals across
`codex-rs` with exact `/*param*/` comments, including the rebased
`tui_app_server` call sites that now fall under the lint
- keep the checked-in style aligned with the lint policy by using
`/*param*/` and leaving string and char literals uncommented
- cache `cargo-dylint`, `dylint-link`, and the relevant Cargo
registry/git metadata in the lint job
- split changed-path detection so the lint crate's own `cargo test` step
runs only when `tools/argument-comment-lint/*` or `rust-ci.yml` changes
- continue to run the repo wrapper over the `codex-rs` workspace, so
product-code enforcement is unchanged
Most of the code changes in this commit are intentionally mechanical
comment rewrites or insertions driven by the lint itself.
## Verification
- `./tools/argument-comment-lint/run.sh --workspace`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui-app-server -p codex-tui`
- parsed `.github/workflows/rust-ci.yml` locally with PyYAML

## Summary
- reuse a guardian subagent session across approvals so reviews keep a
stable prompt cache key and avoid one-shot startup overhead
- clear the guardian child history before each review so prior guardian
decisions do not leak into later approvals
- include the `smart_approvals` -> `guardian_approval` feature flag
rename in the same PR to minimize release latency on a very tight
timeline
- add regression coverage for prompt-cache-key reuse without
prior-review prompt bleed
## Request
- Bug/enhancement request: internal guardian prompt-cache and latency
improvement request
