The goal is to have a single place where we actually write files
In a follow-up PR, will move everything config related in a dedicated
module and move the helpers in a dedicated file
## Summary
- Coerce Windows `workspace-write` configs back to read-only, surface
the forced downgrade in the approvals popup,
and funnel users toward WSL or Full Access.
- Add WSL installation instructions to the Auto preset on Windows while
keeping the preset available for other
platforms.
- Skip the trust-on-first-run prompt on native Windows so new folders
remain read-only without additional
confirmation.
- Expose a structured sandbox policy resolution from config to flag
Windows downgrades and adjust tests (core,
exec, TUI) to reflect the new behavior; provide a Windows-only approvals
snapshot.

We continue the separation between `codex app-server` and `codex
mcp-server`.
In particular, we introduce a new crate, `codex-app-server-protocol`,
and migrate `codex-rs/protocol/src/mcp_protocol.rs` into it, renaming it
`codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol.rs`.
Because `ConversationId` was defined in `mcp_protocol.rs`, we move it
into its own file, `codex-rs/protocol/src/conversation_id.rs`, and
because it is referenced in a ton of places, we have to touch a lot of
files as part of this PR.
We also decide to get away from proper JSON-RPC 2.0 semantics, so we
also introduce `codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/jsonrpc_lite.rs`, which
is basically the same `JSONRPCMessage` type defined in `mcp-types`
except with all of the `"jsonrpc": "2.0"` removed.
Getting rid of `"jsonrpc": "2.0"` makes our serialization logic
considerably simpler, as we can lean heavier on serde to serialize
directly into the wire format that we use now.
Adds a "View Stack" to the bottom pane to allow for pushing/popping
bottom panels.
`esc` will go back instead of dismissing.
Benefit: We retain the "selection state" of a parent panel (e.g. the
review panel).
Backtracking multiple times could drop earlier turns. We now derive the
active user-turn positions from the transcript on demand (keying off the
latest session header) instead of caching state. This keeps the replayed
context intact during repeated edits and adds a regression test.
Adds the following options:
1. Review current changes
2. Review a specific commit
3. Review against a base branch (PR style)
4. Custom instructions

\+ Adds the following UI helpers:
1. Makes list selection searchable
2. Adds navigation to the bottom pane, so you could add a stack of
popups
3. Basic custom prompt view
No (intended) functional change.
This refactors the transcript view to hold a list of HistoryCells
instead of a list of Lines. This simplifies and makes much of the logic
more robust, as well as laying the groundwork for future changes, e.g.
live-updating history cells in the transcript.
Similar to #2879 in goal. Fixes#2755.
Created this PR by:
- adding `redundant_clone` to `[workspace.lints.clippy]` in
`cargo-rs/Cargol.toml`
- running `cargo clippy --tests --fix`
- running `just fmt`
Though I had to clean up one instance of the following that resulted:
```rust
let codex = codex;
```
TuiEvent is supposed to be purely events that come from the "driver",
i.e. events from the terminal. Everything app-specific should be an
AppEvent. In this case, it didn't need to be an event at all.
Adds a TUI resume flow with an interactive picker and quick resume.
- CLI:
- --resume / -r: open picker to resume a prior session
- --continue / -l: resume the most recent session (no picker)
- Behavior on resume: initial history is replayed, welcome banner
hidden, and the first redraw is suppressed to avoid flicker.
- Implementation:
- New tui/src/resume_picker.rs (paginated listing via
RolloutRecorder::list_conversations)
- App::run accepts ResumeSelection; resumes from disk when requested
- ChatWidget refactor with ChatWidgetInit and new_from_existing; replays
initial messages
- Tests: cover picker sorting/preview extraction and resumed-history
rendering.
- Docs: getting-started updated with flags and picker usage.

Fixes excessive blank lines appearing during agent message streaming.
- Only insert a separator blank line for new, non-streaming history
cells.
- Streaming continuations now append without adding a spacer,
eliminating extra gaps between chunks.
Affected area: TUI display of agent messages (tui/src/app.rs).
This PR fixes two edge cases in managing burst paste (mainly on power
shell).
Bugs:
- Needs an event key after paste to render the pasted items
> ChatComposer::flush_paste_burst_if_due() flushes on timeout. Called:
> - Pre-render in App on TuiEvent::Draw.
> - Via a delayed frame
>
BottomPane::request_redraw_in(ChatComposer::recommended_paste_flush_delay()).
- Parses two key events separately before starting parsing burst paste
> When threshold is crossed, pull preceding burst chars out of the
textarea and prepend to paste_burst_buffer, then keep buffering.
- Integrates with #2567 to bring image pasting to windows.
This fixes a bug where if you ran /diff while at turn was running,
transcript lines would be added to the end of the diff view. Also,
refactor to make this kind of issue less likely in future.
Esc and Ctrl+C while a task is running should do the same thing. There
were some cases where pressing Esc would leave a "stuck" widget in the
history; this fixes that and cleans up the logic so there's just one
path for interrupting the task. Also clean up some subtly mishandled key
events (e.g. Ctrl+D would quit the app while an approval modal was
showing if the textarea was empty).

Esc should have other functionalities when it's not used in a
backtracking situation. i.e. to cancel pop up menu when selecting
model/approvals or to interrupt an active turn.
This PR adds a central `AuthManager` struct that manages the auth
information used across conversations and the MCP server. Prior to this,
each conversation and the MCP server got their own private snapshots of
the auth information, and changes to one (such as a logout or token
refresh) were not seen by others.
This is especially problematic when multiple instances of the CLI are
run. For example, consider the case where you start CLI 1 and log in to
ChatGPT account X and then start CLI 2 and log out and then log in to
ChatGPT account Y. The conversation in CLI 1 is still using account X,
but if you create a new conversation, it will suddenly (and
unexpectedly) switch to account Y.
With the `AuthManager`, auth information is read from disk at the time
the `ConversationManager` is constructed, and it is cached in memory.
All new conversations use this same auth information, as do any token
refreshes.
The `AuthManager` is also used by the MCP server's GetAuthStatus
command, which now returns the auth method currently used by the MCP
server.
This PR also includes an enhancement to the GetAuthStatus command. It
now accepts two new (optional) input parameters: `include_token` and
`refresh_token`. Callers can use this to request the in-use auth token
and can optionally request to refresh the token.
The PR also adds tests for the login and auth APIs that I recently added
to the MCP server.
This is a somewhat roundabout way to fix the issue that pressing ^Z
would put the shell prompt in the wrong place (overwriting some of the
status area below the composer). While I'm at it, clean up the suspend
logic and fix some suspend-while-in-alt-screen behavior too.
moves TranscriptApp to be an "overlay", and continue to pump AppEvents
while the transcript is active, but forward all tui handling to the
transcript screen.
