## What changed
- Give `PluginsManager` a shared `AuthManager` instead of a separately mutable authentication-mode snapshot.
- Read the current authentication mode and credentials from that shared manager for plugin discovery, startup tasks, CLI commands, MCP setup, and external-agent migration.
- Update test helpers and coverage to exercise plugin projections and curated marketplace selection as authentication changes.

## Why
Unified exec could drop network approval registration when a selected environment used a Windows working directory on a non-Windows host because the trigger path could not be converted to a host absolute path.
## What changed
- Keep network approval trigger working directories as `PathUri` values and render them with their inferred native path syntax for Guardian requests.
- Fall back to the selected turn environment only when a trigger path can be converted to a host absolute path.
- Reject selected environment working directories larger than 8 KiB at the thread-manager validation boundary.
## Testing
- Cover managed-network approval registration for a foreign Windows working directory.
- Verify that oversized working directories are rejected as invalid `thread/start` requests.
GitOrigin-RevId: 646fbf12115a35a7e5cb04b511464797bee6647b
## Why
Callers need to associate host-owned state with a thread before Core starts it.
## What changed
- Add `ThreadManager::reserve_thread_id` and allow new threads to start with the reserved ID. Reject reserved IDs when resuming an existing thread.
- Let thread stores stage metadata for a reserved ID. The local store merges staged values into the first successful metadata update and then removes them.
- Clear staged metadata when an unmaterialized thread shuts down or is discarded, and require the state database for staging.
## Testing
- Cover reserved ID generation and resume validation.
- Cover metadata persistence, merging, rollout-compatible updates, cleanup, and invalid staging requests.
GitOrigin-RevId: 3f9bc48f0f7764011cc90ea01349e497dda0a9e3
## What changed
- Rebuild hook runtimes for loaded sessions when effective plugins change or a marketplace upgrade installs new plugin content.
- Refresh plugin-related caches and MCP runtimes alongside hooks after plugin mutations.
- Preserve each loaded session's current configuration while rebuilding its hooks.
## Testing
- Cover direct plugin upgrades, including subsequent turn and session-end hooks.
- Cover automatic marketplace upgrades for an already loaded session.
GitOrigin-RevId: fef64c68d652f300c7f3d88e81c5017459aa9a18
## What changed
- Add the experimental `thread/revert` request, which replaces a loaded paginated thread's durable history with the prefix before `beforeTurnId` while preserving the thread ID.
- Interrupt any active turn, reload the replacement history without unloading the thread, preserve mutable thread settings, and emit `thread/reverted`.
- Return backward pagination cursors for the retained turns and items, reject stale rollout paths after a revert, and document that local file changes are unaffected.
## Testing
- Cover history replacement, pagination, stale paths, missing turns, subsequent turns, active-turn interruption, and preserved thread settings.
GitOrigin-RevId: 435a8163ad4f310cc47219b436f6bdde21f2b83a
## Why
Thread stores may filter a metadata patch to a no-op. Requiring every successful
update to return a `StoredThread` forces those implementations to materialize a
thread even when the caller does not need one.
## What changed
- Let `ThreadStore::update_thread_metadata` return `None` after a successful
update that did not materialize a thread.
- Preserve the materialized-thread contract of `LiveThread` and `ThreadManager`
metadata updates by reading the thread when the store returns `None`.
- Keep completion-only metadata updates from issuing that fallback read.
## Testing
Cover materialized in-memory updates and verify that fallback reads occur only
for callers that require the updated thread.
GitOrigin-RevId: 3059efc9d5b69e0b46e35fb5b5aa9638086654f2
## What changed
- Add `TurnInputRequest` and typed submission results for atomically starting a turn, steering the active turn, or declining input with a specific reason.
- Expose `start_or_steer_turn`, `start_turn_if_idle`, and `steer_turn` on `CodexThread`, and migrate Core consumers to these APIs.
- Make app-server `turn/start` steer an active regular turn and return that turn's ID. Reject incompatible output schemas and non-steerable turns without applying settings or enqueueing input.
## Testing
- Cover concurrent start-or-steer submissions, accepted and rejected settings updates, output-schema compatibility, idle-start rejection, and app-server steering.
GitOrigin-RevId: dd9b5528d76ec650c019e97af420bc13190ea86a
## Why
`parent_turn_id` identifies the immediate caller of a nested request, but not the
top-level turn that initiated a multi-level chain of work.
## What changed
- Add `root_turn_id` to turn state, submissions, and Responses API metadata.
- Propagate the root through spawned agents, delegated work, review sessions, and
turn-triggering inter-agent messages.
- Omit the root when background work has no user turn or combined input makes the
root ambiguous.
## Testing
Added coverage for nested agent resumes, reviews, mailbox delivery, steered input,
and reserved metadata handling.
GitOrigin-RevId: 60057db2ee81f4efefa946a9f63c74ff98b93929
## What changed
- Wrap response items with optional harness-owned metadata while keeping the persisted response payload shape backward compatible.
- Store compacted-history metadata in an aligned sidecar and reject malformed sidecars.
- Carry metadata through history normalization, compaction, resume, fork, truncation, migration, and rollout recording without sending it to model providers.
## Testing
- Cover legacy rollout compatibility, metadata serialization and validation, compaction retention, and resume/fork reconstruction.
GitOrigin-RevId: 17a6127c9048ff984cb4df4d97c0751a38c29f5f
## What changed
- Import skill metadata and mention helpers directly from `codex-skills`.
- Import host skill loading types directly from `codex-skills-extension`.
- Make the remaining `codex-core` skills module private and remove its skill API re-exports, including the `HostSkillsService` re-export from `codex-core-api`.
GitOrigin-RevId: 26bf8fffd980df9c4d0c308d7e983ceab9a5df82
## What changed
- Remove `Clone` from `Submission` and remove `Clone` and `PartialEq` from `Op`.
- Consume operations directly in the submission loop instead of cloning them.
- Limit thread-manager test capture to the operation variants under test and update assertions to compare their relevant fields.
GitOrigin-RevId: 781cc631391b8583d94dad5ca45f589856c0b21a
## What changed
- Add `codex-history` for model-history and persisted-rollout domain types, including `RolloutItem`, `RolloutLine`, `CompactedItem`, and initial/resumed history state.
- Re-export the persisted types from `codex-rollout` and update consumers to use the new crate boundary instead of `codex-protocol`.
- Preserve existing rollout serialization, including legacy numeric compacted-window IDs.
## Testing
- Add `codex-history` tests for rollout JSON round trips, compacted-history compatibility, persisted history modes, and multi-agent version selection.
GitOrigin-RevId: 944daa9297ddd231d3aebbdcb05fff4adf8b4e1b
## Why
Standard MCP forms can require user-entered values even when tool permissions are
otherwise auto-approved in full-access sessions.
## What changed
- Recognize the `openai/standard-form-input` client extension and surface
non-approval forms in full-access, user-initiated root threads.
- Keep approval forms, automation and subagent threads, headless sessions, and
clients without the capability on their existing decline or review paths.
- Treat the capability as client-only so it is not advertised to MCP servers,
and enable it after session startup so required servers cannot block startup
waiting for form input.
## Testing
Add unit and app-server coverage for accepted form round trips, declined cases,
approval metadata safeguards, resumed threads, and extension filtering.
GitOrigin-RevId: 053bfe397a5c79eceef90a81d13e2aca6353af43
## What changed
- Restore a V2 agent's inherited environment selections when reloading its
thread after residency eviction.
- Keep the restored execution environment and its tools available when the
agent receives a follow-up task.
## Testing
- Add an integration test that evicts and reloads a V2 agent, then verifies
its environment selection and `exec_command` tool are preserved.
GitOrigin-RevId: a5d4ad0fa465c717b32b7ae6807486429187a41d
## What changed
- Inject the host skill loader into `PluginsManager` so plugin discovery and agent turns use the same loading and product-policy behavior.
- Share plugin skill snapshots across those paths, preserving a consistent view of skills across workspaces.
- Apply migrated-command precedence after product filtering, allowing an eligible migrated command to replace a filtered native skill with the same name.
## Testing
- Add coverage for product-restricted plugin skills, native-versus-migrated command precedence, and the skills exposed to agent turns.
GitOrigin-RevId: f5ef0d0766ebeeb30d73ffaf044d003c2906ea4d
## What changed
- Add `ThreadManager::with_thread_id_generator` to configure ID allocation for new root, child, and forked threads.
- Keep the standard UUIDv7 generator as the default and preserve stored IDs when resuming threads.
- Add `ThreadId::from_u128` for constructing identifiers from UUID-compatible values.
## Testing
- Cover default allocation, custom IDs across roots, child agents, and forks, and ID preservation on resume.
GitOrigin-RevId: 6c38c862e30a50bad944a994bcbccf7d1e7ada24
## What changed
- Add `codex migrate-rollouts` with dry-run inspection by default, explicit `--apply`, thread filtering, optional I/O throttling, progress output, and JSON or verbose reports.
- Add the disabled-by-default `background_paginated_rollout_migration` feature to migrate legacy local sessions at startup before rollout compression begins.
- Persist a migration cursor and skipped-file fingerprints so later startups avoid full rescans while retrying changed files and recovering pending migrations.
- Coordinate migration with live writers and emit metrics for manual and startup runs.
## Testing
- Cover startup cursor advancement and lookback, pending migration recovery, live-writer coordination, changed empty rollouts, and progress reporting.
GitOrigin-RevId: 276ac506c50ebec5140fd319faca1bb998172061
## What changed
- Move host skill discovery, snapshot caching, and configuration handling from
`codex-core-skills` to `codex-skills-extension`.
- Rename `SkillsService` and `SkillsLoadInput` to `HostSkillsService` and
`HostSkillsLoadInput` to distinguish the host implementation from other skill
providers.
- Keep shared loading primitives and skill outcome modeling in
`codex-core-skills`.
GitOrigin-RevId: d81a21791d2ef8c066e157e7e538b8cb7ee4c24b
## Why
App-server clients need to advertise structured MCP extension settings, including supported MCP App UI MIME types, rather than only opting into OpenAI form elicitation with a boolean.
## What changed
- Add an `extensions` map to initialize capabilities and preserve `mcpServerOpenaiFormElicitation` as a legacy alias for `openai/form`.
- Capture the declared extension profile when a thread is started, resumed, or forked, propagate it to subagents, and advertise it to downstream MCP servers during initialization.
- Keep the profile stable for the lifetime of the loaded session instead of changing it on later turns or direct tool calls.
## Testing
- Cover extension conversion, downstream MCP initialization, session isolation, legacy form support, and subagent inheritance.
GitOrigin-RevId: fbcedbb74ce788e574b0f884a4c45c4cedb9de54
## What changed
- Add `ThreadSpawnRequest` to carry thread options, authentication, agent
control, fork metadata, inherited state, and shell overrides.
- Route new, resumed, and forked threads through one `spawn_thread` path.
- Centralize default session-source and environment selection when the request
is consumed.
GitOrigin-RevId: 8fd1a8531a212000c7430218c2200aa4a047cb9a
## What changed
- Move the V8 implementation into a dedicated `codex-code-mode-runtime` crate used by `codex-code-mode-host`, removing the embedded runtime fallback from the Codex process.
- Resolve the host executable from the active installation layout and check its availability before selecting tools.
- Fall back to direct tools with a one-time warning when optional code mode is unavailable. Keep `code_mode_only` and `disable_in_process_fallback` configurations fail-closed.
## Testing
- Cover host discovery for standalone and package layouts, including missing hosts and symlinks.
- Verify direct-tool fallback, one-time warnings, and fail-closed code-mode-only behavior.
GitOrigin-RevId: 5aa3c6f1db148b2231fc24089a2ee0e2b00dbddb
## What changed
- Add `thread/section/move` to atomically move a thread into, within, or out of a section. Threads can be inserted before an existing member or appended, and moves within a section preserve `sectionEnteredAt`.
- Add `section_position` sorting to `thread/list`, with ascending order as its default, and expose `sectionEnteredAt` in thread responses.
- Persist section positions and entry times in SQLite, including migration of existing section members into recency order. Section membership is no longer updated through `thread/metadata/update`.
## Testing
- Cover section moves, reordering, pagination, persistence across restarts and rollout reconciliation, concurrent updates, and rank renumbering.
GitOrigin-RevId: aec6d7ddedca5277029b5caf5c074975397e956c
## What changed
- Consume owned rollout vectors when truncating fork and subagent history, reusing their allocations instead of copying slices.
- Project ephemeral fork responses and token-usage ownership before moving the source history into the new thread.
- Preserve canonical `beforeTurnId` validation for rolled-back and synthetic legacy turns.
## Testing
- Add truncation tests covering rolled-back and synthetic legacy `beforeTurnId` values.
GitOrigin-RevId: 5785d004b74d7e057b82379a172676b023bcfb4f
## What changed
- Propagate the initiating turn ID through agent spawns, follow-up tasks, reviews, and delegated Codex sessions.
- Add `parent_turn_id` to Responses client and turn metadata while keeping it out of external MCP metadata.
- Preserve parent-turn provenance across queued agent messages when their triggering parent is unambiguous.
## Testing
- Cover spawned, resumed, nested, reviewed, delegated, and WebSocket request metadata.
- Verify queued messages do not claim ambiguous or queue-only parent turns.
GitOrigin-RevId: 481fdebbe7df2031880fe259509273cce50b20a8
## Why
When the code mode host feature was disabled, thread startup always selected the in-process provider, even when `disable_in_process_fallback` was set.
## What changed
- Select a disabled provider when both the process host and in-process fallback are disabled.
- Return a clear tool error instead of running code mode in process for that configuration.
## Testing
Added an integration test covering code mode with the process host feature and in-process fallback both disabled.
GitOrigin-RevId: 3ed80afc23e0a5518c0133fe337a37b1fa545ead
## What changed
- Allow `features.code_mode_host` to use a configuration table with
`disable_in_process_fallback`. When enabled, failure to start the standalone
host is returned as tool output instead of falling back to embedded V8.
- Preserve the existing fallback behavior by default and continue accepting the
boolean feature toggle.
- Limit displayed host paths in spawn errors to 512 bytes while retaining the
executable-bearing suffix and valid UTF-8 boundaries.
## Testing
- Cover boolean and table-based feature configuration, fallback-disabled host
failures, and bounded ASCII and UTF-8 error paths.
GitOrigin-RevId: ab3d014e79054c2f8beef9a658915f01cca197b2
## Why
`thread/fork` rejected threads using paginated history, so they could not use the same fork workflow as legacy threads.
## What changed
- Create paginated forks by referencing a frozen source-history prefix while persisting only child-owned records in the new rollout.
- Support latest, `lastTurnId`, and `beforeTurnId` boundaries, including inherited lineage, model-context reconstruction, interruption markers, and approval-reviewer inheritance.
- Make paginated reads and occurrence search traverse referenced history while excluding source records added after the fork.
- Coordinate fork preparation with archive and delete operations, and materialize compressed rollouts before they become fork references.
## Testing
Added app-server and thread-store coverage for boundary selection, active turns, inherited reads and search, compressed lineage, and concurrent source lifecycle operations.
GitOrigin-RevId: 66052d69517d7fb97a3b7817ab77a39c5ad995fd
## Why
MCP elicitation reviewers are reused across runtime refreshes, while an active
turn can retain the approval settings it started with. Reviewing against that
turn could therefore apply stale authority after session settings changed.
## What changed
- Read the latest published MCP runtime configuration when reviewing an
elicitation, including the approval policy, permission profile, configuration
layers, and reviewer selection.
- Apply `never` and granular MCP-elicitation policy decisions before routing an
eligible request to Guardian.
- Keep MCP runtime startup registered for refresh invalidation through session
creation.
## Testing
Added coverage that refreshes a running session and verifies the same reviewer
uses the latest authority for Guardian routing, denial, and empty-form
auto-approval.
GitOrigin-RevId: 826a157aa70fc8e3a9e3a14ecb0261bf7b63f63a
## Why
MCP configuration can change while a thread is still starting, before it appears in the thread manager's loaded-thread list. In that window, invalidation could miss the new thread and leave it with a stale MCP runtime.
## What changed
- Centralize MCP runtime invalidation in `ThreadManager` so it refreshes loaded threads and marks in-progress thread startups for refresh after publication.
- Use the centralized invalidation path for account and plugin changes.
- Invalidate MCP runtimes after successful server and plugin OAuth logins.
## Testing
- Add a regression test that pauses thread startup, invalidates MCP runtimes, and verifies that the newly published thread refreshes its MCP projection.
GitOrigin-RevId: 8944f5a21816a1405e038a0d4c08b66362ea9368
## What changed
- Add `--code-mode-host ws://...` and `wss://...` support to `codex app-server`, gated by the `code_mode_host` feature. When omitted, app-server continues to start a local host.
- Share one remote WebSocket connection across the process's threads, using the configured HTTP client's proxy and TLS policy and preserving the existing framed host protocol.
- Reject invalid host URLs, bound WebSocket frame sizes, close connections cleanly, and return an error when a connection exceeds 1,024 pending delegate calls without disconnecting it.
## Testing
- Cover CLI validation, WebSocket protocol execution and shutdown, connection sharing across app-server threads, and delegate-call capacity recovery.
GitOrigin-RevId: 715e82d4d9db1e7e2f91b754a777dcab504e2ae4
## Why
Guardian review commands can run without the proxy-port environment used to
configure the parent session. Reconciling persistent Windows sandbox settings
for those commands can discard the parent's proxy configuration.
## What changed
- Add a session-level Windows sandbox proxy-settings mode and use `Preserve`
for guardian review sessions while keeping `Reconcile` as the default.
- Carry the mode through unified exec and the exec-server sandbox context to
Windows process launches.
- In preserve mode, reuse the proxy settings recorded by the existing sandbox
setup marker.
## Testing
Added coverage for guardian session configuration, exec-server transport, and
preserving an existing setup marker when proxy-port environment variables are
absent.
GitOrigin-RevId: 214655c6e6d97360906431773dc0de0fdda2db6e
## What changed
- Add `StartThreadOptions::new` to provide the standard configuration for a new thread.
- Make `ThreadManager::start_thread` the single thread-start entry point and migrate callers from the previous convenience methods.
- Derive default environment selections when `environments` is `None`, while preserving explicit selections, including an empty list.
GitOrigin-RevId: 8977dc11aed54c5e1215a81eaed2b2cf5fc6087a
## What changed
- Add `SqliteConfig` to own the resolved SQLite home, runtime database paths,
and shared read/write and read-only pool settings.
- Pass the configuration through state and local thread-store consumers,
replacing standalone path helpers and duplicated connection setup.
GitOrigin-RevId: 7351b08da94b5c8b6c0bbe492f86aeeca0699d3c
## Why
Startup prewarms and Guardian review sessions do not need workspace Git metadata. Collecting it for those requests performs redundant work, while user turns still need a fresh view of the repository.
## What changed
- Add a per-session Git enrichment policy.
- Skip enrichment for startup prewarm, preview, and Guardian review turns.
- Keep fresh enrichment enabled for regular sessions and one-shot delegated turns.
## Testing
- Cover prewarm and Guardian requests omitting workspace metadata while subsequent user turns observe repository changes.
- Cover concurrent repositories and worktrees retaining distinct metadata.
- Verify concurrent enrichment is coalesced and canceled enrichment can be retried.
GitOrigin-RevId: 4a68615288bb568c75f2e487d9c0776e3e80f191
## Why
Standalone web search and image requests need to preserve the trusted,
thread-scoped originator used for billing attribution.
## What changed
- Seed extension data with the resolved thread originator and recognize
`codex_work_cca` and `chatgpt_cca` service names as originators.
- Forward non-default originators from the web search and image generation
extensions with the shared originator-header helper.
## Testing
- Cover originator resolution, header validation, and forwarding for web
search, image generation, and image editing.
GitOrigin-RevId: 165dace8e4d24e4bd92f234bff5ec77a21a7ff6e
## What changed
- Add `agents.enabled` as a user override for multi-agent tools while keeping an enabled `features.multi_agent_v2` authoritative.
- Rename the shared spawned-thread limit to `agents.max_concurrent_threads_per_session`, retain `agents.max_threads` as an alias, and apply the setting to both multi-agent backends.
- Add reserved subagent model, reasoning effort, and agent-type settings to the config surface and persist all resolved agent settings in config locks.
- Show the resolved `[agents]` values in TUI debug-config output.
## Testing
- Cover config loading, legacy alias normalization across merged layers, backend-selection precedence, V2 concurrency, and debug output.
GitOrigin-RevId: 2957c954a2e1aef51592768dbbccd56c4bf8f118
## What changed
- Inherit paginated history mode when spawning or forking a subagent from a paginated parent.
- Load the parent's model context when forking and persist it as an inherited rollout prefix, while excluding that prefix from the child's projected turns, items, and metadata.
- Record the boundary between inherited context and child history, and reject partially initialized paginated subagent rollouts on resume.
- Resume paginated subagents from their stored model context instead of legacy rollout history.
## Testing
Added coverage for fresh and forked paginated subagents, compacted-history forks, model-context resume, inherited-prefix projection, metadata isolation, and incomplete-prefix detection.
GitOrigin-RevId: e57dc37c29aa4aaaf57b052b991be591d730e5ba
## What changed
- Replace the combined `Codex` wrapper with an `Arc<Session>` and a dedicated
`SessionIo` handle for submissions, events, status, and loop termination.
- Make `Session::spawn` return the session and I/O handle separately, and have
`CodexThread` own both.
- Update thread management, delegated sessions, guardian reviews, and agent
control to use the appropriate session or I/O interface.
GitOrigin-RevId: 8523bad7e7366e2969fd0cc3849b4247b141427a
## What changed
- Accept a caller-provided `CodexAppsToolsCache` when constructing a `ThreadManager` and pass it through to the MCP manager.
- Add `ConnectorRuntimeManager::new_without_cache()` for an in-memory runtime that neither loads nor persists connector state on disk.
- Re-export `CodexAppsToolsCache` from `codex-core` and `codex-core-api` for embedders.
## Testing
- Verify that a cache-disabled connector runtime ignores existing disk state and publishes live tools without creating cache files.
GitOrigin-RevId: f52f4f27c425a8d84ad0d0987b30a6fc3c14d702
## Why
Multi-environment turns can run against different filesystems, so a single
thread-wide workspace-root list cannot accurately describe every selected
environment.
## What changed
- Add optional `runtimeWorkspaceRoots` to each app-server environment selection.
Omitted roots default to that environment's `cwd`, while an empty list selects
no roots.
- Carry environment-native roots through turn selection, model-visible context,
permission materialization, and tool sandboxing.
- Keep the top-level `runtimeWorkspaceRoots` field as a compatibility input when
constructing default environment selections; explicit selections use their
own roots.
## Testing
- Cover thread and turn API defaults, overrides, empty roots, and schema
round-tripping.
- Verify foreign roots remain model-visible and remote execution applies the
target environment's roots before sandbox selection.
GitOrigin-RevId: c6e7a62883c45c676c153055f46a55ee15a323a4
## Why
Embedding callers need to control whether model catalogs are persisted to disk.
## What changed
- Accept a shared models manager when constructing `ThreadManager` instead of always creating a cached manager internally.
- Add provider APIs for creating uncached model managers. OpenAI-compatible providers fetch on each `OnlineIfUncached` refresh without reading or writing `models_cache.json`.
- Keep existing app server, MCP server, sample, and test callers on the standard cached manager.
## Testing
- Verify an uncached manager fetches on every refresh.
- Verify an injected uncached manager controls thread refresh behavior and does not create `models_cache.json`.
GitOrigin-RevId: 8bb646054ecec4ccb865b2bf56249384916ea9db
## Why
After a cold resume, a Multi-Agent V2 root thread must still be able to
address its persisted descendants even though their runtimes are not reopened
eagerly.
## What changed
- Restore metadata for open descendant agents when resuming a V2 root thread.
- Preserve each descendant's path, nickname, and role while leaving its runtime
unloaded until a message targets it.
- Reuse the spawn metadata preparation path so restored identities retain the
same reservation and naming checks as newly spawned agents.
## Testing
Added an end-to-end cold-resume test that follows up with a persisted agent by
name and verifies that the original agent thread is loaded on demand.
GitOrigin-RevId: a1663c1ae60eefadb948cd39f933cd3bbb49a492
## 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.
GitOrigin-RevId: 75b3911b95c060e5fc1843a5e293d8fe47377186
## Summary
- Promote code_mode_host to stable and enable it by default.
- Preserve features.code_mode_host = false as an opt-out to the
in-process runtime.
- Run core code-mode tests through the standalone host.
- Keep explicit coverage for missing-host failures.
## Description
This PR adds a new `historyMode = "legacy" | "paginated"` to `Thread`.
This will be stored in `SessionMeta` in the JSONL rollout file and as a
new column in the SQLite thread_metadata table, and exposed on
`thread/start` and on the `Thread` object in app-server.
## What changed
- Added canonical `ThreadHistoryMode` with `legacy` and `paginated`,
defaulting old and new SessionMeta to `legacy`.
- Carried `history_mode` through core session config, ThreadStore stored
metadata, local/in-memory stores, rollout metadata extraction, and the
existing SQLite `threads` table.
- Added experimental `historyMode` to app-server v2 `Thread` and
`thread/start`.
- Made paginated stored threads metadata-discoverable but unsupported
for legacy full-history reads, `load_history`, live resume, and create
paths.
- Regenerated app-server schema fixtures and added
protocol/state/thread-store/app-server coverage for persistence and
fail-closed behavior.
## Compatibility floor
Because users may be running various versions of Codex binaries on the
same machine (TUI, Codex App, etc.), we will need to establish a
compatibility floor for upcoming paginated threads, which will change
how thread storage reads and writes work.
The overall plan here:
```
Release N:
- Add historyMode to SessionMeta / Thread / SQLite metadata.
- Teach binaries to understand paginated threads.
- If a binary sees `historyMode="paginated"` but does not support the paginated contract, it refuses to resume/mutate the thread.
- Default remains `"legacy"`.
Release N+1:
- First-party clients start opting into paginated threads where appropriate.
- Internal dogfood / staged rollout.
- Measure old-client usage and paginated-thread unsupported errors.
Release N+2:
- Only after Release N+ is overwhelmingly deployed, make paginated the default.
- Accept that a small tail of N-1-or-older binaries may not understand paginated threads.
```
The important behavior change is fail-closed handling for a binary that
encounters a persisted `paginated` thread before it knows how to fully
support paginated history. In app-server, if a thread is `paginated`, we
will:
- allow metadata-only discovery paths like `thread/list` and
`thread/read(includeTurns=false)`, so clients can still see the thread
and inspect its `historyMode`
- reject legacy full-history/live-thread paths like
`thread/read(includeTurns=true)` and `thread/resume` with an unsupported
JSON-RPC error
- avoid silently treating an unknown or future `historyMode` as `legacy`
Under the hood, the ThreadStore layer also rejects legacy operations
that would need to load or replay the full thread history for a
paginated thread. That gives us the behavior we want for Release N:
future paginated threads are visible, but this binary fails closed
instead of trying to operate on them as if they were legacy threads.
## Summary
- add the `code_mode_host` feature flag and select
`ProcessOwnedCodeModeSessionProvider` in `CodeModeService` when enabled
- initialize code-mode sessions lazily so a missing host reports a tool
error without failing thread startup
- resolve `codex-code-mode-host` beside the running Codex binary by
default while preserving `CODEX_CODE_MODE_HOST_PATH` as an override
- add unit and end-to-end coverage for host resolution and graceful
missing-host behavior
## Why
This wires the process-owned session client from #30112 into the core
service behind an opt-in rollout gate. Packaged Codex installations can
place the helper in the same `bin` directory as the main executable
without relying on `PATH`, while development and custom installations
can continue to override the helper path.
## Stack
- Depends on #30112
- Base branch: `cconger/process-owned-session-runtime-4-client`
## Validation
Build `codex` and `codex-code-mode-host`
`CODEX_CODE_MODE_HOST_PATH="$PWD/target/debug/codex-code-mode-host"
./target/debug/codex --enable code_mode_host`
## Summary
- recognize `codex_work_web` and `codex_work_mobile` as supported
`thread/start.serviceName` values
- use the recognized value as the thread-scoped originator, with the
same persistence and request propagation added for `codex_work_desktop`
- cover precedence over persisted and inherited originators
This is the Codex consumer for the service names introduced by
[openai/openai#1073178](https://github.com/openai/openai/pull/1073178).
## Rollout / Compatibility
The producer is ChatGPT's app-server integration in
openai/openai#1073178. This PR is the Codex app-server consumer that
converts those service names into the outgoing per-thread `originator`.
Until this change is deployed, the new service names are ignored and
Codex continues using its fallback originator. Deploy this mapper and
the matching codex-backend compatibility change in
[openai/openai#1073594](https://github.com/openai/openai/pull/1073594)
while the existing Flora egress overwrite remains in place. Remove that
overwrite in
[openai/openai#1073197](https://github.com/openai/openai/pull/1073197)
only after both consumers are deployed.
## Validation
- `just test -p codex-core
effective_originator_prefers_thread_scoped_sources_before_env_originator`
- `just fix -p codex-core`
- `just fmt`
## Why
Helper threads such as task title generation can request a model ID that
is valid for the default OpenAI provider but unavailable from the active
provider. With Amazon Bedrock, `gpt-5.4-mini` is rejected while the
provider static catalog exposes Bedrock model IDs such as
`openai.gpt-5.5` and `openai.gpt-5.4`. This causes repeated background
404s and can surface a misleading turn error even when the main turn
succeeds.
Clients need an explicit way to ask app-server to resolve an unavailable
helper model to the active provider default. That fallback must remain
limited to providers with an authoritative static catalog so custom or
dynamically discovered model IDs are not rewritten based on an
incomplete catalog.
Fixes#28741.
## What changed
- Add the experimental `allowProviderModelFallback` option to
`thread/start`, defaulting to `false` to preserve existing behavior.
- Thread the option through thread creation and model selection.
- When enabled for a static model manager, preserve requested models
present in the catalog and replace unavailable models with the provider
default.
- Continue preserving explicit model IDs for dynamic model managers
without fetching a catalog solely to validate them.
- Document the new `thread/start` behavior in the app-server API
overview.
## Test
Temporary test-client harness:
```
ThreadStartParams {
model: Some("gpt-5.4-mini".to_string()),
allow_provider_model_fallback: true,
..Default::default()
}
```
Command:
```
CODEX_HOME=/tmp/codex-bedrock-thread-start-home \
CODEX_E2E_BEDROCK_THREAD_START_ONLY=1 \
./target/debug/codex-app-server-test-client \
--codex-bin ./target/debug/codex \
-c 'model_provider="amazon-bedrock"' \
send-message-v2 --experimental-api ignored
```
Relevant output:
```
> "method": "thread/start",
> "params": {
> "model": "gpt-5.4-mini",
> "modelProvider": null,
> "allowProviderModelFallback": true,
> ...
