## Why
`argument-comment-lint` was green in CI even though the repo still had
many uncommented literal arguments. The main gap was target coverage:
the repo wrapper did not force Cargo to inspect test-only call sites, so
examples like the `latest_session_lookup_params(true, ...)` tests in
`codex-rs/tui_app_server/src/lib.rs` never entered the blocking CI path.
This change cleans up the existing backlog, makes the default repo lint
path cover all Cargo targets, and starts rolling that stricter CI
enforcement out on the platform where it is currently validated.
## What changed
- mechanically fixed existing `argument-comment-lint` violations across
the `codex-rs` workspace, including tests, examples, and benches
- updated `tools/argument-comment-lint/run-prebuilt-linter.sh` and
`tools/argument-comment-lint/run.sh` so non-`--fix` runs default to
`--all-targets` unless the caller explicitly narrows the target set
- fixed both wrappers so forwarded cargo arguments after `--` are
preserved with a single separator
- documented the new default behavior in
`tools/argument-comment-lint/README.md`
- updated `rust-ci` so the macOS lint lane keeps the plain wrapper
invocation and therefore enforces `--all-targets`, while Linux and
Windows temporarily pass `-- --lib --bins`
That temporary CI split keeps the stricter all-targets check where it is
already cleaned up, while leaving room to finish the remaining Linux-
and Windows-specific target-gated cleanup before enabling
`--all-targets` on those runners. The Linux and Windows failures on the
intermediate revision were caused by the wrapper forwarding bug, not by
additional lint findings in those lanes.
## Validation
- `bash -n tools/argument-comment-lint/run.sh`
- `bash -n tools/argument-comment-lint/run-prebuilt-linter.sh`
- shell-level wrapper forwarding check for `-- --lib --bins`
- shell-level wrapper forwarding check for `-- --tests`
- `just argument-comment-lint`
- `cargo test` in `tools/argument-comment-lint`
- `cargo test -p codex-terminal-detection`
## Follow-up
- Clean up remaining Linux-only target-gated callsites, then switch the
Linux lint lane back to the plain wrapper invocation.
- Clean up remaining Windows-only target-gated callsites, then switch
the Windows lint lane back to the plain wrapper invocation.
Add environment manager that is a singleton and is created early in
app-server (before skill manager, before config loading).
Use an environment variable to point to a running exec server.
Migrate `cwd` and related session/config state to `AbsolutePathBuf` so
downstream consumers consistently see absolute working directories.
Add test-only `.abs()` helpers for `Path`, `PathBuf`, and `TempDir`, and
update branch-local tests to use them instead of
`AbsolutePathBuf::try_from(...)`.
For the remaining TUI/app-server snapshot coverage that renders absolute
cwd values, keep the snapshots unchanged and skip the Windows-only cases
where the platform-specific absolute path layout differs.
- move the shared byte-based middle truncation logic from `core` into
`codex-utils-string`
- keep token-specific truncation in `codex-core` so rollout can reuse
the shared helper in the next stacked PR

Add a representation of the agent graph. This is now used for:
* Cascade close agents (when I close a parent, it close the kids)
* Cascade resume (oposite)
Later, this will also be used for post-compaction stuffing of the
context
Direct fix for: https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/14458
## 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

###### Why/Context/Summary
- Exclude injected AGENTS.md instructions and standalone skill payloads
from memory stage 1 inputs so memory generation focuses on conversation
content instead of prompt scaffolding.
- Strip only the AGENTS fragment from mixed contextual user messages
during stage-1 serialization, which preserves environment context in the
same message.
- Keep subagent notifications in the memory input, and add focused unit
coverage for the fragment classifier, rollout policy, and stage-1
serialization path.
###### Test plan
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --lib contextual_user_message`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --lib rollout::policy`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --lib memories::phase1`
## Why
The unified-exec path was carrying zsh-fork state in a partially
flattened way.
First, the decision about whether zsh-fork was active came from feature
selection in `ToolsConfig`, while the real prerequisites lived in
session state. That left the handler and runtime defending against
partially configured cases later.
Second, once zsh-fork was active, its two runtime-only paths were
threaded through the runtime as separate arguments even though they form
one coherent piece of configuration.
This change keeps unified-exec on a single session-derived source of
truth and bundles the zsh-fork-specific paths into a named config type
so the runtime can pass them around as one unit.
In particular, this PR introduces this enum so the `ZshFork` variant can
carry the appropriate state with it:
```rust
#[derive(Debug, Clone, Eq, PartialEq)]
pub enum UnifiedExecShellMode {
Direct,
ZshFork(ZshForkConfig),
}
#[derive(Debug, Clone, Eq, PartialEq)]
pub struct ZshForkConfig {
pub(crate) shell_zsh_path: AbsolutePathBuf,
pub(crate) main_execve_wrapper_exe: AbsolutePathBuf,
}
```
This cleanup was done in preparation for
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/13432.
## What Changed
- Replaced the feature-only `UnifiedExecBackendConfig` split with
`UnifiedExecShellMode` in `codex-rs/core/src/tools/spec.rs`.
- Derived the unified-exec mode from session-backed inputs when building
turn `ToolsConfig`, and preserved that mode across model switches and
review turns.
- Introduced `ZshForkConfig`, which stores the resolved zsh-fork
`AbsolutePathBuf` values for the configured `zsh` binary and `execve`
wrapper.
- Threaded `ZshForkConfig` through unified-exec command construction and
the zsh-fork preparation path so zsh-fork-specific runtime code consumes
a single config object instead of separate path arguments.
- Added focused tests for constructing zsh-fork mode only when session
prerequisites are available, and updated the zsh-fork expectations to be
target-platform aware.
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-core zsh_fork --lib`

## Summary
- update `codex-rs/core/templates/memories/stage_one_system.md` so phase
1 captures stronger user-preference signals, richer task summaries, and
cwd provenance without branch-specific fields
- update `codex-rs/core/templates/memories/consolidation.md` so phase 2
keeps separate sections for user preferences, reusable knowledge, and
failure shields while staying cwd-aware but branchless
- document the `codex` prompt-template maintenance rule in
`codex-rs/core/src/memories/README.md`: the undated templates are
canonical here and should be edited in place
## Testing
- cargo test -p codex-core memories --manifest-path codex-rs/Cargo.toml
## Why
PR #13783 moved the `codex.rs` unit tests into `codex_tests.rs`. This
applies the same extraction pattern across the rest of `codex-rs/core`
so the production modules stay focused on runtime code instead of large
inline test blocks.
Keeping the tests in sibling files also makes follow-up edits easier to
review because product changes no longer have to share a file with
hundreds or thousands of lines of test scaffolding.
## What changed
- replaced each inline `mod tests { ... }` in `codex-rs/core/src/**`
with a path-based module declaration
- moved each extracted unit test module into a sibling `*_tests.rs`
file, using `mod_tests.rs` for `mod.rs` modules
- preserved the existing `cfg(...)` guards and module-local structure so
the refactor remains structural rather than behavioral
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-core --lib` (`1653 passed; 0 failed; 5 ignored`)
- `just fix -p codex-core`
- `cargo fmt --check`
- `cargo shear`
## Summary
This PR keeps app-server RPC request trace context alive for the full
lifetime of the work that request kicks off (e.g. for `thread/start`,
this is `app-server rpc handler -> tokio background task -> core op
submissions`). Previously we lose trace lineage once the request handler
returns or hands work off to background tasks.
This approach is especially relevant for `thread/start` and other RPC
handlers that run in a non-blocking way. In the near future we'll most
likely want to make all app-server handlers run in a non-blocking way by
default, and only queue operations that must operate in order (e.g.
thread RPCs per thread?), so we want to make sure tracing in app-server
just generally works.
Depends on https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/14300

## What changed
- Keep request-scoped trace context around until we send the final
response or error, or the connection closes.
- Thread that trace context through detached `thread/start` work so
background startup stays attached to the originating request.
- Pass request trace context through to downstream core operations,
including:
- thread creation
- resume/fork flows
- turn submission
- review
- interrupt
- realtime conversation operations
- Add tracing tests that verify:
- remote W3C trace context is preserved for `thread/start`
- remote W3C trace context is preserved for `turn/start`
- downstream core spans stay under the originating request span
- request-scoped tracing state is cleaned up correctly
- Clean up shutdown behavior so detached background tasks and spawned
threads are drained before process exit.
## Summary
This is a purely mechanical refactor of `OtelManager` ->
`SessionTelemetry` to better convey what the struct is doing. No
behavior change.
## Why
`OtelManager` ended up sounding much broader than what this type
actually does. It doesn't manage OTEL globally; it's the session-scoped
telemetry surface for emitting log/trace events and recording metrics
with consistent session metadata (`app_version`, `model`, `slug`,
`originator`, etc.).
`SessionTelemetry` is a more accurate name, and updating the call sites
makes that boundary a lot easier to follow.
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-otel`
- `cargo test -p codex-core`
## Why
Enterprises can already constrain approvals, sandboxing, and web search
through `requirements.toml` and MDM, but feature flags were still only
configurable as managed defaults. That meant an enterprise could suggest
feature values, but it could not actually pin them.
This change closes that gap and makes enterprise feature requirements
behave like the other constrained settings. The effective feature set
now stays consistent with enterprise requirements during config load,
when config writes are validated, and when runtime code mutates feature
flags later in the session.
It also tightens the runtime API for managed features. `ManagedFeatures`
now follows the same constraint-oriented shape as `Constrained<T>`
instead of exposing panic-prone mutation helpers, and production code
can no longer construct it through an unconstrained `From<Features>`
path.
The PR also hardens the `compact_resume_fork` integration coverage on
Windows. After the feature-management changes,
`compact_resume_after_second_compaction_preserves_history` was
overflowing the libtest/Tokio thread stacks on Windows, so the test now
uses an explicit larger-stack harness as a pragmatic mitigation. That
may not be the ideal root-cause fix, and it merits a parallel
investigation into whether part of the async future chain should be
boxed to reduce stack pressure instead.
## What Changed
Enterprises can now pin feature values in `requirements.toml` with the
requirements-side `features` table:
```toml
[features]
personality = true
unified_exec = false
```
Only canonical feature keys are allowed in the requirements `features`
table; omitted keys remain unconstrained.
- Added a requirements-side pinned feature map to
`ConfigRequirementsToml`, threaded it through source-preserving
requirements merge and normalization in `codex-config`, and made the
TOML surface use `[features]` (while still accepting legacy
`[feature_requirements]` for compatibility).
- Exposed `featureRequirements` from `configRequirements/read`,
regenerated the JSON/TypeScript schema artifacts, and updated the
app-server README.
- Wrapped the effective feature set in `ManagedFeatures`, backed by
`ConstrainedWithSource<Features>`, and changed its API to mirror
`Constrained<T>`: `can_set(...)`, `set(...) -> ConstraintResult<()>`,
and result-returning `enable` / `disable` / `set_enabled` helpers.
- Removed the legacy-usage and bulk-map passthroughs from
`ManagedFeatures`; callers that need those behaviors now mutate a plain
`Features` value and reapply it through `set(...)`, so the constrained
wrapper remains the enforcement boundary.
- Removed the production loophole for constructing unconstrained
`ManagedFeatures`. Non-test code now creates it through the configured
feature-loading path, and `impl From<Features> for ManagedFeatures` is
restricted to `#[cfg(test)]`.
- Rejected legacy feature aliases in enterprise feature requirements,
and return a load error when a pinned combination cannot survive
dependency normalization.
- Validated config writes against enterprise feature requirements before
persisting changes, including explicit conflicting writes and
profile-specific feature states that normalize into invalid
combinations.
- Updated runtime and TUI feature-toggle paths to use the constrained
setter API and to persist or apply the effective post-constraint value
rather than the requested value.
- Updated the `core_test_support` Bazel target to include the bundled
core model-catalog fixtures in its runtime data, so helper code that
resolves `core/models.json` through runfiles works in remote Bazel test
environments.
- Renamed the core config test coverage to emphasize that effective
feature values are normalized at runtime, while conflicting persisted
config writes are rejected.
- Ran `compact_resume_after_second_compaction_preserves_history` inside
an explicit 8 MiB test thread and Tokio runtime worker stack, following
the existing larger-stack integration-test pattern, to keep the Windows
`compact_resume_fork` test slice from aborting while a parallel
investigation continues into whether some of the underlying async
futures should be boxed.
## Verification
- `cargo test -p codex-config`
- `cargo test -p codex-core feature_requirements_ -- --nocapture`
- `cargo test -p codex-core
load_requirements_toml_produces_expected_constraints -- --nocapture`
- `cargo test -p codex-core
compact_resume_after_second_compaction_preserves_history -- --nocapture`
- `cargo test -p codex-core compact_resume_fork -- --nocapture`
- Re-ran the built `codex-core` `tests/all` binary with
`RUST_MIN_STACK=262144` for
`compact_resume_after_second_compaction_preserves_history` to confirm
the explicit-stack harness fixes the deterministic low-stack repro.
- `cargo test -p codex-core`
- This still fails locally in unrelated integration areas that expect
the `codex` / `test_stdio_server` binaries or hit existing `search_tool`
wiremock mismatches.
## Docs
`developers.openai.com/codex` should document the requirements-side
`[features]` table for enterprise and MDM-managed configuration,
including that it only accepts canonical feature keys and that
conflicting config writes are rejected.
- add a local Fast mode setting in codex-core (similar to how model id
is currently stored on disk locally)
- send `service_tier=priority` on requests when Fast is enabled
- add `/fast` in the TUI and persist it locally
- feature flag
## Summary
- add reasoning effort constants for the memories phase one and phase
two agents
- wire the constants into phase1 request creation and phase2 agent
configuration so the default efforts are always applied
## Testing
- Not run (not requested)
## Summary
- Add `rollout_summary_file: <generated>.md` to each thread header in
`raw_memories.md` so Phase 2 can reliably reference the canonical
rollout summary filename.
- Update the memory prompts/templates (`stage_one_system`,
`consolidation`, `read_path`) for the new task-oriented raw-memory /
MEMORY.md schema and stronger consolidation guidance.
## Details
- `codex-rs/core/src/memories/storage.rs`
- Writes the generated `rollout_summary_file` path into the per-thread
metadata header when rebuilding `raw_memories.md`.
- `codex-rs/core/src/memories/tests.rs`
- Verifies the canonical `rollout_summary_file` header is present and
ordered after `updated_at`/`cwd` in `raw_memories.md`.
- Verifies task-structured raw-memory content is preserved while the
canonical header is added.
- `codex-rs/core/templates/memories/*.md`
- Updates the stage-1 raw-memory format to task-grouped sections
(`task`, `task_group`, `task_outcome`).
- Updates Phase 2 consolidation guidance around recency (`updated_at`),
task-oriented `MEMORY.md` blocks, and richer evidence-backed
consolidation.
- Tweaks the quick memory pass wording to emphasize topics/workflows in
addition to keywords.
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-core memories`
## Summary
- The experimental Bazel CI builds fail on all platforms because askama
resolves template paths relative to `CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR`, which points
outside the Bazel sandbox. This produces errors like:
```
error: couldn't read
`codex-rs/core/src/memories/../../../../../../../../../../../work/codex/codex/codex-rs/core/templates/memories/consolidation.md`:
No such file or directory
```
- Replaced `#[derive(Template)]` + `#[template(path = "...")]` with
`include_str!` + `str::replace()` for the three affected templates
(`consolidation.md`, `stage_one_input.md`, `read_path.md`).
`include_str!` resolves paths relative to the source file, which works
correctly in both Cargo and Bazel builds.
- The templates only use simple `{{ variable }}` substitution with no
control flow or filters, so no askama functionality is lost.
- Removes the `askama` dependency from `codex-core` since it was the
only crate using it. The workspace-level dependency definition is left
in place.
- This matches the existing pattern used throughout the codebase — e.g.
`codex-rs/core/src/memories/mod.rs` already uses
`include_str!("../../templates/memories/stage_one_system.md")` for the
fourth template file.
## Test plan
- [ ] Verify Bazel (experimental) CI passes on all platforms
- [ ] Verify rust-ci (Cargo) builds and tests continue to pass
- [ ] Verify `cargo test -p codex-core` passes locally
## Summary
Increase the rollout summary filename slug cap from 20 to 60 characters
in memory storage.
## What changed
- Updated `ROLLOUT_SLUG_MAX_LEN` from `20` to `60` in:
- `codex-rs/core/src/memories/storage.rs`
- Updated slug truncation test to verify 60-char behavior.
## Why
This preserves more semantic context in rollout summary filenames while
keeping existing normalization behavior unchanged.
## Testing
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-core
memories::storage::tests::rollout_summary_file_stem_sanitizes_and_truncates_slug
-- --exact`
Summary
- make the phase1 memories schema require `rollout_slug` while still
allowing it to be `null`
- update the corresponding test to check the required fields and
nullable type list
Testing
- Not run (not requested)
