## Why
Paginated threads should not require the TUI to load and render their entire
history when a session is resumed.
## What changed
- Hydrate a bounded initial history page for paginated resumes and forks,
respecting the configured terminal reflow row budget.
- Load older transcript items in the background as users navigate upward, while
preserving the viewport, live output, and backtrack selection.
- Reconcile review-mode prompts across page boundaries and keep restored token
usage hidden until it can be attributed to a persisted turn.
## Testing
- Added coverage for paginated resume and fork hydration, older-page merging,
transcript prepending, backtrack behavior, review prompt filtering, and token
usage restoration.

## What changed
- Accept two-stroke bindings such as `ctrl-x ctrl-s` in TUI keymap configuration while preserving arrays as alternative bindings.
- Route chords through the active TUI context, show pending and configured chord hints, and cancel pending chords on `esc`, context changes, or a one-second timeout.
- Extend `/keymap` to capture, add, replace, and display key chords.
- Reject chords that conflict with active single-key bindings, overlapping-context chords, or reserved terminal shortcuts.
## Testing
- Add coverage for chord parsing, validation, matching, timeout and cancellation behavior, context dispatch, key capture, and rendered shortcut hints.

## Why
Clients need to know whether a `request_user_input` request must wait for an
explicit response or may auto-resolve. Using `autoResolutionMs` as that signal
conflated the blocking decision with timeout policy.
## What changed
- Add required `isBlocking` fields to user input protocol and app-server
request payloads. Plan-mode requests are blocking, while requests from other
enabled modes are non-blocking.
- Drive the TUI's auto-resolution behavior from `isBlocking` and remove
`autoResolutionMs` from the model-facing tool schema.
- Deprecate `autoResolutionMs` while retaining it for compatibility, and treat
legacy payloads without `isBlocking` as blocking.
## Testing
- Cover mode-derived blocking behavior, legacy deserialization, app-server
forwarding, delegated requests, and TUI auto-resolution.

## What changed
- Use Ratatui-compatible terminal widths throughout TUI layout, preserving
full-width counters for long lines.
- Wrap and truncate on grapheme boundaries so halfwidth kana sound marks and
emoji sequences stay intact.
- Apply the corrected sizing to text input, selection popups, status and
history cells, Markdown, hyperlinks, and scrollable cloud diffs.
## Testing
- Add focused unit and snapshot coverage for wrapping, truncation, cursor and
mask alignment, popup columns, status output, session headers, Markdown
tables, process output, and scrollable diffs.
GitOrigin-RevId: 294ec0bcff743c6bb16d55ec26308524ce741879
## What changed
- Upgrade `ratatui`, `ratatui-macros`, `crossterm`, and `ansi-to-tui`, and adapt the TUI to their updated rendering, backend, color-conversion, and cell APIs.
- Use Ratatui's cell-width and continuation-cell metadata when mapping OSC 8 hyperlinks so links remain aligned across wrapped wide glyphs and halfwidth characters with dakuten.
- Preserve explicit hyperlinks in the sign-in success screen and empty MCP state without embedding escape sequences in the text passed to Ratatui.
## Testing
- Add regression coverage for hyperlink placement across wide glyphs and halfwidth dakuten, hyperlink preservation in onboarding and MCP output, and display-width handling.
GitOrigin-RevId: 8460873e5a266923acd0417bc46264845eab0134
## What changed
- Display `Blocked` goal statuses as “stalled” in the goal menu and goal status footer.
- Update the goal menu snapshot and footer formatting test expectations.
GitOrigin-RevId: f3d8212d939f0d76354048231346328972226274
## Why
Opening the subagent picker could wait on thread metadata and live event-store locks, delaying terminal input. Its cached entries could also omit descendants that were not observed in the current TUI session.
## What changed
- Render the picker immediately from cached navigation state and refresh root descendants asynchronously with `thread/list`.
- Merge discovered descendants into an open picker while preserving its selection and live status, and coalesce concurrent refresh requests.
- Ignore refresh responses from a previous session and avoid blocking on busy event stores.
## Testing
- Extend session lifecycle coverage for nonblocking picker opens, refresh coalescing, descendant discovery, selection preservation, and status updates.
- Add coverage for rejecting a refresh response after navigation state is cleared.
GitOrigin-RevId: 7eae7f696f8d2d323a47b3fd2800ea1c1cdbf2a0
## What changed
- Stack action descriptions below their labels when the keymap action menu is too narrow for a readable description column.
- Keep descriptions column-aligned at wider terminal widths.
- Show a dash instead of a number beside the disabled remove-binding action.
## Testing
- Add snapshot coverage for the action menu at 48, 64, and 96 columns.
GitOrigin-RevId: 25b97fd2d8764563e0a0c36d436711f2429093c4
## What changed
- Restart file search whenever a unified mention popup opens so restored or repeated queries receive results instead of inheriting stale search state.
- Cache the popup's filtered rows and refresh them when the query, file matches, search mode, skills, or plugins change.
## Testing
- Add regression tests for bare, reopened, and restored unified mention searches.
GitOrigin-RevId: 9d38438fade01a0552e03cb05e023ee64af60a4c
## What changed
- Add nullable `iconSmallUrl` and `iconLargeUrl` fields to the v2
`SkillInterface` protocol and generated schemas.
- Populate the fields from remote plugin catalog metadata while returning null
values for local skill interfaces.
- Document the new `plugin/read` response fields.
## Testing
- Extend the remote `plugin/read` test to verify both icon URLs are returned.
GitOrigin-RevId: 0a631a0121627d944a84e542728a506823ff2738
## What changed
- Add a configurable `toggle_side_conversation` TUI action, bound to `ctrl-/` by default, to switch between a side conversation and its parent without closing either.
- Show the active binding in the footer and distinguish switching from closing with `ctrl-c`.
- Allow starting a replacement side conversation from the parent, while cleaning up the previous side thread and preserving it if cleanup fails.
- Clean up retained side conversations when shutting down the current thread.
## Testing
- Cover shortcut remapping, conflicts, and compatibility with existing `ctrl-/` and `ctrl-7` bindings.
- Cover side-thread replacement and footer states for both the parent and side conversation.
GitOrigin-RevId: a621c21e1c45ba73197d59750b2e05efa5ee1081
## What changed
- Size the unified mention popup from its filtered row count, while keeping a one-row minimum and the existing maximum.
- Update composer snapshots to cover the compact layout when only one mention result is visible.
GitOrigin-RevId: 7cd30a5c53c7e81cf7158a6b3dda3c09bd024f29
## What changed
- Add `additionalContextLimit` to command hook configuration for events that can emit `additionalContext`.
- Apply the limit independently to each hook's context before it is sent to the model. Unset values retain the 2,500-token default, while `0` disables spilling for that hook.
- Expose configured limits through app-server hook and requirements responses, and show them in the TUI hooks browser.
## Testing
- Cover JSON and TOML parsing, discovery and hashing, per-hook spilling behavior, app-server responses, and TUI rendering.
GitOrigin-RevId: 55ddc2dbbdf9067dceee3e1968c03617bbf6bcea
## Why
The TUI already receives skill metadata from the app-server protocol, but converted it into the core-skills model before using it.
## What changed
- Use `codex_app_server_protocol::SkillMetadata` throughout skill toggles, mentions, and input submission.
- Remove the protocol-to-core conversion and the TUI's `codex-core-skills` dependency.
GitOrigin-RevId: 43d43d74bfb67fc21ef11a0ca0592aa44b89a122
## What changed
- Add one-shot composer and status-line transitions when the active reasoning effort changes to Max or Ultra.
- Keep a tier-specific prompt accent after the transition, including a distinct Ultra prompt glyph.
- Preserve drafts and footer priority, avoid replaying effects for restored or unchanged settings, and disable motion when animations or sufficient terminal color support are unavailable.
## Testing
- Add unit and snapshot coverage for animation frames, prompt accents, status-line transitions, narrow layouts, terminal palettes, restored sessions, and reduced-motion behavior.
GitOrigin-RevId: 6da1d501d228d0cf1144b3d211d5d1304a06f447
## Why
Sizing, rendering, and cursor placement can query the same chat widget layout
multiple times in one frame, repeatedly measuring active transcript cells.
## What changed
- Build one chat widget renderable tree per frame and reuse it for sizing,
rendering, and cursor placement.
- Cache each flex child's desired height by width for the lifetime of that tree.
- Reuse the bottom pane's renderable directly instead of forwarding each
renderable operation through a wrapper.
## Testing
- Verify flex layouts measure a child once across frame passes and remeasure it
when the width changes.
- Verify a chat widget frame measures its active transcript cell once.
GitOrigin-RevId: 5ad1a6711f4011c699b5d002b13dc3319cb4db8e
## What changed
- Move lifecycle and approval payloads into either the interrupt queue or the
immediate handler instead of cloning them for both branches.
- Borrow MCP elicitation request metadata while constructing the corresponding
form, and consume apply-patch changes after collecting notification paths.
## Testing
- Add a history replay test confirming deferred MCP start and completion events
remain FIFO after streaming finishes.
GitOrigin-RevId: 84ed34f6ff173463a1da016dc140405392c0ba45
## What changed
- Redraw assistant and plan stream tails only when a completed line changes the visible tail.
- Cache the first reasoning header and update the status indicator only when its visible state changes, while restoring the cached header if the indicator is recreated.
- Keep regular commit ticks able to clear stale stream tails.
## Testing
- Add coverage for unchanged partial deltas, changed newline-delimited tails, reasoning-header redraws, recreated status indicators, stale plan tails, and history-line draw scheduling.
GitOrigin-RevId: 9016175f97ef2db2edc2fd5ba13a4d731dc2d98c
## Why
Reverse search fetched persistent history one entry at a time, making a deep or unsuccessful search require a lookup for every older entry.
## What changed
- Keep the newest-entry probe lightweight, then scan older persistent history in bounded batches.
- Cache batch results by absolute offset and preserve continuation cursors across repeated searches.
- Ignore stale responses, retry failed batch reads a bounded number of times, and restore the draft without reporting a false “no match” state when history is unavailable.
## Testing
- Cover batch continuation, caching after query changes or cancellation, stale metadata, retry exhaustion, and thread routing.
- Verify that scanning 1,024 entries uses one single-entry lookup and eight batch lookups.
GitOrigin-RevId: efc791fcbd5290050af703dd31c5c21b33240e23
## Why
The Desktop app can use Codex or ChatGPT branding while retaining stable platform identities. CLI discovery and TUI handoff should not depend on a single display name or hardcoded executable path.
## What changed
- On macOS, search for both `ChatGPT.app` and `Codex.app`, and accept only bundles with the `com.openai.codex` identifier.
- On Windows, detect installs by their package app ID and resolve the `codex` protocol executable from the AppX manifest before handing off a TUI session.
- Use “Desktop app” consistently in CLI and TUI user-facing text.
## Testing
Add coverage for selecting a ChatGPT-named Codex bundle and rejecting the classic ChatGPT bundle.
GitOrigin-RevId: b84a56eb6e960712152e1a9b023ab530ec9a354a
## What changed
- Add the `SessionEnd` hook event to hook configuration, protocol schemas, analytics, and the hooks browser.
- Run matching hooks for root threads during shutdown, including app-server archive, delete, idle unload, and graceful shutdown. Flush the transcript first and provide the session ID, transcript path, working directory, and `reason: "other"`.
- Keep teardown bounded: hook output is advisory, the default timeout is one second, configured timeouts are capped at three seconds, and async hooks run synchronously with a warning.
## Testing
- Cover transcript availability, matcher selection, timeout normalization, ignored control output, subagent exclusion, archive/delete ordering, and graceful shutdown of multiple loaded threads.
GitOrigin-RevId: 5d19a658677a137caf836ed5042dcb43f5eb6d1a
## What changed
Remove the unused `PairProgramming` and `Execute` footer indicator variants and their label and styling branches. Keep `Plan` as the only `CollaborationModeIndicator` rendered by the TUI.
GitOrigin-RevId: 5f3e6c8ff50a04d41dd5fc342cf1347a7e4f78fe
## Why
Multi-agent V2 spawned threads are controlled by their parent and reject direct
app-server input. The TUI should expose that ownership instead of presenting an
input flow that the server will reject.
## What changed
- Add the experimental `Thread.canAcceptDirectInput` capability for loaded
threads and populate it from the same policy used to validate `turn/start`
and `turn/steer`. Stored, unloaded threads report `null`.
- Carry the capability through TUI thread discovery, selection, startup, and
resume flows, with a compatibility fallback for older app servers.
- Present parent-owned threads as view-only, preserve drafts and queued input,
block agent-directed commands and settings shortcuts, and keep local
navigation and inspection commands available.
## Testing
- Cover V1 writable and V2 view-only spawned threads through selection and
resume.
- Cover composer submission paths, queued and initial input preservation,
allowed navigation commands, settings shortcuts, and the view-only UI.
GitOrigin-RevId: 495ad051249e5577fb0b0c1cc8c40a0998d04918
## What changed
Give command, permissions, patch, and MCP elicitation approvals dedicated
request structs, and update TUI routing and rendering to use the wrapped
payloads.
GitOrigin-RevId: ffee4058dd27505be2a11de3758ac12bb707b6b8
## Why
Tabs in composer text could render at a different width from the cursor and
wrapping calculations, causing misaligned cursors and unexpected line breaks.
## What changed
- Replace tabs with single-column spaces for wrapping and rendering while
preserving the original editable text and byte ranges.
- Apply the same display representation to base text, styled elements, and
highlighted ranges.
## Testing
Add coverage for cursor alignment, rendered output, and wrapping of text that
contains tabs.
GitOrigin-RevId: 06d8489621d2f8b0823c7a004079d152dd0cab66
## What changed
- Use `$`-mention boundary rules when deciding whether a skill mention followed by a suffix is already bound.
- Fall back to the editable skill token on the left when the token on the right is a bound mention such as `$bound/path` or `$bound.config`.
## Testing
- Add completion-target coverage for path and configuration suffixes.
- Add a composer snapshot covering the skill popup fallback for a bound path suffix.
GitOrigin-RevId: bf72237dfd56cfe6f590a3fab10c2bfe03b088a8
## Why
Skill mentions and shell parameters both use a `$` prefix. Numeric and special
shell parameters should not open or displace completion popups, while loaded
skills can legitimately have digit- or hyphen-leading names.
## What changed
- Classify `$` queries as skill candidates, shell variables, definite shell
parameters, or ambiguous shell-like names.
- Offer completion for an ambiguous name only when it fuzzy-matches a bindable
loaded mention, reusing the filtered catalog when the popup opens.
- Keep definite shell forms such as `$1`, `$12`, `$-`, and `$_` out of mention
completion and preserve completion targets elsewhere in the composer.
## Testing
Added unit and snapshot coverage for positional and special parameters,
digit- and hyphen-leading skills, uppercase shell variables, unbindable
qualified skills, and competing completion targets.
GitOrigin-RevId: 8bb64cb5ca0fa8233c7fadb11a53678d57eb814c
## What changed
- Leave an output-free interrupted prompt in the transcript and open a blank
composer for the user's next instruction.
- Use the normal interruption notice for both `Esc` and `Ctrl-C` interrupts.
- Track safety-buffering prompts separately so failed retries can still restore
the prompt, including after switching between threads.
## Testing
- Cover output-free `Esc` and `Ctrl-C` interrupts, failed safety-buffer retries,
and restoration of safety-buffer state from thread snapshots.
GitOrigin-RevId: 30b368d00dfdb981d06d4c95ce3f252389b7917c
## Why
Special filesystem subpaths can contain relative or foreign-platform path
spellings. Treating this wire text as a host-native path can reinterpret it.
## What changed
- Store special filesystem subpaths as strings in the core permissions model.
- Represent app-server subpaths as `LegacyAppPathString` and convert them at
the protocol boundary without changing their spelling.
- Add `LegacyAppPathString::from_string` for callers that already own legacy
app-server path text.
GitOrigin-RevId: 2214f03aa997fd0e6eb2ab60d425304bb4bd6132
## What changed
- Include the active Codex Apps tools cache and connector directory cache, when available, in diagnostic uploads that include logs.
- Resolve cache paths from the current authentication context and use stable attachment filenames.
- List both optional cache files in the upload consent dialog.
## Testing
- Add coverage for selecting existing active cache files, including a directory cache without an account ID.
- Update consent dialog snapshots to include the optional attachments.
GitOrigin-RevId: 1d4ffbf2bcb96653f03dc25f91d80dd65038d585
## What changed
- Make `Esc` dismiss the slash-command popup immediately without changing the draft or interrupting a running task.
- Keep the popup closed while the first-line command token is unchanged, and reopen it after the token is edited.
## Testing
- Cover dismissal while idle and while a task is running.
- Add a snapshot confirming that the dismissed popup remains hidden.
GitOrigin-RevId: f0ee84af080181e8d92c435f474ded1c8cb5b457
## What changed
- Resolve `@` and `$` completion targets on either side of the cursor while treating atomic text elements and line breaks as boundaries.
- Prefer the nearest editable mention when file, skill, and plugin candidates compete, and avoid treating common uppercase environment variables as skill queries.
- Insert a separator before completions adjacent to atomic elements and keep dismissed popup state scoped to the matching editable token occurrence.
## Testing
- Add unit and snapshot coverage for adjacent and partially bound mentions, whitespace boundaries, shell variables, popup dismissal, and file, image, skill, and plugin insertion.
GitOrigin-RevId: 352a42c7bcdbf4f6cd35368ced25f71926fdbc1b
## Why
The skill toggle view truncated every display name to 21 characters, even when
the popup had enough room to show more. This could hide the part that
distinguishes similarly named skills.
## What changed
- Pass full skill display names to the shared row renderer so it can fit them
to the available width alongside descriptions.
- Keep narrow layouts bounded by the renderer's width-aware truncation.
## Testing
Added coverage for preserving and filtering full display names, plus snapshots
for wide and narrow popup layouts.
GitOrigin-RevId: c434237e00440f920d8aa9c365b6bda5e68e0941
## Why
A pasted user message can contain a raw CSI sequence that corrupts
terminal scrollback, making the latest response or input appear missing.
The same sequence may already be present in persisted history when an
affected conversation is resumed.
## What changed
- Remove CSI sequences and non-whitespace control characters from
explicit paste input before it enters the composer.
- Apply the same small transform before rich and raw `UserHistoryCell`
rendering, so existing conversations render safely without mutating
stored message content.
## Summary
Selection rows reserve their first two columns for the selection cursor
and render into the menu surface's left gutter. The empty-state message
reused that shifted row area even though it has no cursor prefix, so `no
matches` appeared two columns to the left of the search field.
This renders empty lists at the inset list origin while preserving the
cursor gutter for non-empty rows.
## Summary
Autocomplete completion previously inserted a new space even when a
separator was already present, which could leave redundant whitespace
around neighboring text. Popup dismissal also tracked only the query
string, so dismissing one token could suppress a different occurrence
with the same text.
This gives completions one horizontal-separator policy across files,
images, skills, and mentions. Existing separators are reused when
possible, ordinary suffix text remains separated, and line breaks stay
intact. Dismissal now identifies the complete whitespace-delimited token
occurrence, so offset-only edits preserve dismissal while later
identical tokens remain independent. Newly completed values beginning
with `$` or `@` can also remain closed when the next PR's affinity rule
recognizes the token to the left of the cursor.
## Examples
The examples below use `|` to represent the cursor.
### Reuse existing separators
Starting with an existing two-space gap:
```text
@ma| next
```
After accepting `src/main.rs` and typing `foo`, completion previously
added a third separator and left both original spaces before `next`:
```text
src/main.rs foo| next
```
After this PR, completion reuses the first existing separator as the
insertion point and preserves the second between the new text and
`next`:
```text
src/main.rs foo| next
```
### Keep a completed sigil-prefixed value closed
Starting before a line break:
```text
@ma|
next
```
and accepting a path whose result is itself prefixed with `@` produces:
```text
@scope/main.rs |
next
```
Without this PR's completion dismissal, the affinity rule in #30463
rediscovers the completed token to the left of the cursor and reopens
its popup:
```text
@scope/main.rs |
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ popup reopens
next
```
With this PR, the inserted occurrence is dismissed and the popup remains
closed:
```text
@scope/main.rs |
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ popup remains closed
next
```
### Do not dismiss an identical later occurrence
Given two identical tokens:
```text
@scope/main.rs| @scope/main.rs
```
after dismissing the first popup with Escape and moving to the second
token, query-only dismissal previously suppressed the second popup too:
```text
@scope/main.rs @scope/main.rs|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ popup remains closed
```
After this PR, dismissal also matches the token's ordinal among complete
tokens, so the second occurrence opens normally:
```text
@scope/main.rs @scope/main.rs|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ popup opens
```
### Keep dismissal across offset-only edits
After dismissing `@ma`, moving to its start, and pasting an email-like
token:
```text
email@ma.com @ma|
```
the `@ma` bytes embedded in `email@ma.com` do not count as another
autocomplete token. The original `@ma` keeps its dismissal even though
its byte range moved.
## Stack
This is PR 2 of 3, stacked on #31190. It relies on the explicit
replacement ranges introduced there and provides the completion
lifecycle used by the targeting fix in #30463.
## Summary
Autocomplete popup synchronization already identifies the active token's
range and query, but accepting a result previously discarded that range
and independently recomputed token boundaries around the cursor. Those
calculations could disagree at ambiguous cursor positions. For example,
in `@first| @second` (with `|` marking the cursor at the intervening
space), the popup targets `@second`, while the old acceptance path
replaces `@first`.
This threads the active range through legacy file search, skill
mentions, and mentions-v2 completion. File, image, and mention insertion
now replace the same token that supplied the popup query, and image
completion reuses the shared file insertion path.
## Stack
This is PR 1 of 3. #31191 builds separator and dismissal behavior on
these explicit replacement ranges, and #30463 then fixes token affinity
between adjacent mentions.
This is the final plugin sharing PR in the 5-PR stack. It applies the
remaining TUI polish for remote plugin catalog rows and tabs:
admin-disabled plugins now read as blocked/view-only instead of looking
toggleable, admin-installed/default-installed plugins count and sort
like installed plugins, plugin search matches richer metadata, and an
empty successful `Shared with me` section stays hidden.
- Admin-disabled rows use a blocked marker, show `Disabled`, and keep
Enter-only detail behavior without a toggle hint.
- Admin-installed/default-installed plugins show as installed in counts,
ordering, tabs, and detail copy.
- Plugin search now matches descriptions and keywords in addition to
existing row metadata.
- Successful-empty `Shared with me` tabs are hidden, while loading,
error, workspace-empty, and real shared-plugin states remain visible.
- Updates coverage in
`plugins_popup_snapshot_shows_all_marketplaces_and_sorts_installed_then_name`,
`plugins_popup_admin_disabled_installed_plugin_has_no_toggle_hint`,
`plugins_popup_search_matches_plugin_descriptions`, and
`plugins_popup_remote_section_fallback_states_snapshot`.
- Updates snapshots `plugins_popup_curated_marketplace` and
`plugins_popup_empty_shared_section_hidden`.

## Summary
- Add `iconAssets` and `iconDarkAssets` to the app-list protocol.
- Preserve structured icons through directory merging and the connector,
app-
server, and TUI boundaries.
- Keep legacy logo URLs unchanged as compatibility fallbacks.
- Update generated protocol schemas and TypeScript types.
## Why
Connector metadata is consumed by connector discovery, ChatGPT
integration, core, and TUI code. Treating app-server's wire DTO as the
shared domain model reverses the intended dependency direction.
## What changed
- Added connector-owned app branding, review, screenshot, metadata, and
info types.
- Added explicit conversions in app-server and TUI while preserving
app-server's wire payloads.
- Removed production app-server-protocol dependencies from connectors
and ChatGPT connector code.
## Stack
This is PR 4 of 6, stacked on [PR
#29722](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/29722). Review only the
delta from `codex/split-config-layer-types`. Next: [PR
#29724](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/29724).
## Validation
- Connector and tools coverage passed.
- App-server app-list coverage passed: 13 tests.
## Why
The TUI treats both an active turn and MCP startup as a running task.
That currently blocks `/resume` and several settings commands even
though they do not compete with turn execution, which is especially
frustrating when MCP startup is slow.
Model, permissions, personality, and service-tier selections already
update thread settings independently of the running turn. Other clients
can send those updates mid-turn, while the current turn continues with
its captured settings. Allowing the same updates from local slash
commands makes the TUI consistent with that existing behavior.
## What changed
- Allow `/resume` while a task is running.
- Allow `/model`, `/permissions`, `/personality`, and service-tier
commands such as `/fast` while a task is running.
- Keep the existing behavior where the active turn uses its captured
settings and updates apply to subsequent turns.
- Exercise the commands under the busy state in the existing TUI tests
and retain coverage for commands that should remain blocked.
## Behavior note
Turn settings such as model selection and reasoning effort are captured
when a turn starts. Changing them during an active turn affects the next
turn, not the turn already in progress. The status bar updates
immediately, so it may temporarily display the newly selected setting
before that setting is actually in effect.
## Verification
- Focused `codex-tui` tests for resume dispatch, settings popups,
`/fast`, and disabled-command behavior.
## Related issues
Closes#19015.
Addresses the next-turn-safe model/reasoning switching portion of
#14356; dedicated shortcuts and the proposed depth meter remain out of
scope.
## Summary
[@milanglacier reported in
#28653](https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/28653) that the active
mention candidate is hard to distinguish. I suspect [@binbjz’s #28500
report](https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/28500) _(where arrow-key
navigation appeared not to work)_ may describe the same presentation
problem: the selection may have been changing, but the UI was not
showing the active row clearly in their terminal. This PR makes two
small changes to the selection indication behavior:
- Reserve a two-character gutter and mark the active candidate with `> `
for color-agnostic indicator coverage.
- Apply the shared theme-aware accent to the entire selected row for
extra emphasis.
- Update the existing popup snapshot.
Reverse-video styling was considered, but avoided it because it is
overly dependent on the user’s terminal palette.

## Testing
- `just test -p codex-tui default_unified_mention_popup_snapshot`
- `just clippy -p codex-tui`
- `just fmt`
- Compiled `codex-cli` and tested the unified mentions picker in the
terminal.
Fixes#28104.
## Summary
Active `/goal` turns should leave the persisted goal paused whenever the
TUI interrupts the running turn. The bug in #28104 showed this most
visibly through `Esc`: some interrupt paths aborted the turn without
updating the goal status, so the goal could remain active and continue
automatically.
This change makes `ChatWidget` pause an active goal before the TUI sends
an interrupt from the status-row path, the pending-steer path, `Ctrl+C`,
or a request-user-input overlay. The modal overlay now reports whether a
key will interrupt the turn, which keeps modal `Esc` and `Ctrl+C`
behavior aligned with the normal interrupt paths.
## Manual Testing
Built the local CLI with `just codex --help`, then launched the local
TUI with goals enabled. Started an active `/goal` turn and interrupted
it with `Esc`, then resumed and repeated with `Ctrl+C`; both paths
showed `Goal paused`, the interrupted-conversation message, and the
`Goal paused (/goal resume)` footer. I also stopped the background
terminal and exited the TUI cleanly after the run.
I did not find a reliable standalone manual path to force the
request-user-input overlay case, so that path is covered by the focused
automated test.
## Why
Command approval cache keys included the command and working directory,
but not the execution environment. An approval for `/workspace` locally
could therefore be reused for the same command and path on an executor.
## What changed
- Include the selected environment ID in shell and unified-exec approval
cache keys.
- Carry that ID through the normal command approval request so clients
can show which environment is being approved.
- Expose the environment through app-server as a required nullable
`environmentId` and show it in the inline TUI approval prompt.
- Keep older recorded approval events compatible when the environment is
absent.
For example, `echo ok` in local `/workspace` and `echo ok` in executor
`/workspace` now produce different approval keys and separate prompts.
## Scope
This PR does not change network approvals, Guardian review actions, MCP
elicitation, full-screen TUI rendering, or environment-ID validation.
Remote `shell_command` execution itself remains in #28722; this PR only
makes its approval key environment-aware.
## Why
Clients running an app-server on one OS and an exec-server on another OS
need to be able to pass sandbox config to app-server that refers to
resources on the executor's foreign OS.
## What
`AbsolutePathBuf` can't represent these paths and we don't want users to
be exposed to `PathUri` yet, so this moves the public app-server API to
be expressed in terms of `ApiPathString`.
Stacked on #28165.
- change app-server v2 filesystem permission paths, including legacy
read/write roots, to `ApiPathString`
- localize API paths through `PathUri` when converting into the current
native core permission types
- make path-bearing permission conversions fallible and surface
localization failures instead of silently treating malformed grants as
ordinary denials
- propagate conversion failures through app-server and TUI approval
handling
- regenerate the app-server JSON and TypeScript schemas
- leave migration TODOs on native-path conversions so they can be
removed once core permission paths use `PathUri`
## Summary
- Add TUI auto-resolution handling for `request_user_input` prompts when
`autoResolutionMs` is present.
- Use a 60s hidden grace period followed by a 60s visible countdown,
then submit an empty answer response if the user does not interact.
- Snooze auto-resolution on key or paste interaction and add
snapshot/test coverage for the countdown UI.
## Notes
- The TUI currently treats `autoResolutionMs` as an enable signal and
intentionally does not use the provided duration value for the countdown
policy.

## Why
[#25345](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/25345) was approved,
green, and squash-merged into its stacked base branch,
`fcoury/tokenmaxxing-api`. Four minutes later, that base branch was
force-pushed back to an API-only rebased head while preparing
[#25344](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/25344) for `main`. As a
result, the squash commit from #25345 was orphaned and the TUI command
never reached `main` or a release.
This PR relands the orphaned TUI change from
[`411410b8`](https://github.com/openai/codex/commit/411410b85c2d8eb050d441f17396c5c4048d866f)
on current `main`.
## What changed
- Add `/usage`, `/usage daily`, `/usage weekly`, and `/usage cumulative`
for account token activity.
- Fetch account usage asynchronously through the existing
`account/usage/read` app-server RPC.
- Render daily, weekly, and cumulative activity with theme-aware
terminal palettes and bounded transient cards.
- Preserve transcript ordering while assistant streams, history
consolidations, active cells, and hooks complete.
- Hide `/usage` from completion when backend auth is unavailable while
keeping typed-command guidance.
- Carry current-main behavior forward for cwd-aware Markdown parsing,
Windows Terminal color detection, and personal access token auth.
- Clear pending usage cards on thread rollback and delay completed cards
until live hook output is committed.
- Add focused regression and snapshot coverage for loading, auth errors,
invalid views, rollback, hook ordering, layout, and charts.
## Prior review
The original implementation was approved by Eric Traut in #25345 after
testing multiple themes and light/dark terminals. This PR preserves that
reviewed implementation while adapting it to current `main` and adding
regression coverage for newer rollback and hook lifecycle behavior.
## Validation
- `just test -p codex-tui token_activity palette renderable
usage_command` — 37 passed.
- Focused rollback, hook-ordering, and error snapshot tests — 4 passed.
- `just fix -p codex-tui` — passed.
- `UV_CACHE_DIR=/private/tmp/codex-uv-cache just fmt` — passed.
- `cargo insta pending-snapshots` — no pending snapshots.
- `just test -p codex-tui` — 2,870 passed; two unrelated guardian
feature-flag tests failed because their expected `OverrideTurnContext`
event was absent:
-
`update_feature_flags_disabling_guardian_clears_manual_review_policy_without_history`
-
`update_feature_flags_disabling_guardian_clears_review_policy_and_restores_default`
- `just argument-comment-lint` could not complete because the local
Bazel LLVM `compiler-rt` repository is missing `include/sanitizer/*.h`.
The touched Rust diff was manually inspected and no missing
opaque-literal argument comments were found.
## Stack
1. [1 of 3] Support long raw TUI goal objectives - #27508
2. [2 of 3] Support long pasted text in TUI goals - #27509
3. **[3 of 3] Support images in TUI goals** - this PR
## Why
The first two PRs make goal definitions resilient to long text, but
`/goal` still dropped image inputs from the composer. That meant a user
could attach images while defining a goal and the resulting goal
continuation would not have any useful reference to those images.
Goal state still persists only objective text, so image inputs need to
become paths or URLs that the agent can read later.
## What Changed
- Extends TUI `GoalDraft` with local image attachments and remote image
URLs.
- Copies local goal images through the app-server filesystem layer into
the managed goal attachment directory, then rewrites active image
placeholders to file references.
- Appends unplaced local images and remote image URLs to the objective
as referenced image files or URLs.
- Preserves goal image metadata through live `/goal` submission and
queued `/goal` dispatch.
## Verification
- Added goal materialization coverage for local image files and remote
image URLs.
- Added/updated TUI slash-command coverage showing `/goal` drafts
include attached images instead of dropping them.
## Manual Testing
- Attached an image by bracketed-pasting its local path into a live
`/goal` composer. The `[Image #1]` placeholder became a server-host
`image-1.png` reference, copied bytes matched exactly, and no attachment
was written under the TUI's local home.
- Deleted an image placeholder before submitting a small goal and
verified no image was copied.
- Attached PNG and JPEG files to the same goal. Placeholder order was
preserved as `image-1.png` and `image-2.jpg`, and both remote copies
matched their source bytes.
- Tried extensionless, malformed-extension, and
extension/content-mismatched paths; the composer rejected them as image
attachments before goal dispatch rather than creating misleading managed
image files.
- Combined a local image, a large pasted block, and enough raw text to
exceed 4,000 characters. The remote attachment directory contained the
image, paste sidecar, and `goal-objective.md`; all embedded references
used server-host paths and both payloads matched their sources.
- Submitted an image replacement while a goal was active, verified no
image was copied before confirmation, then canceled and confirmed the
attachment count was unchanged.
