## Why
An OAuth-backed Streamable HTTP MCP server can fail startup when its stored credentials are rejected. If a client then completes OAuth sign-in and replaces those credentials, the failed server needs to become available without restarting the Codex session.
## What changed
- Track the credential store and OAuth tokens used for each MCP connection, and detect replacements after authentication failures.
- Refresh affected MCP servers before the next turn and include their recovered tools in the model request.
- Classify HTTP authentication challenges and rejected refresh tokens as requiring reauthentication, with sign-in guidance appropriate to local and client-managed environments.
## Testing
- Cover recovery from expired credentials through an externally written replacement token.
- Cover authentication-error classification, startup messaging, and `Auto` store migration from file credentials to the keyring.
GitOrigin-RevId: 9b090089d4e7a44ffc182f4e25da20a18e97b70f
## Why
Environment readiness can change between sampling requests. Extension turn-input contributors should receive the same refreshed environment snapshot used by the current step.
## What changed
Build `TurnInputContext.environments` from `StepContext` so newly ready environments are included in extension input for the current request.
GitOrigin-RevId: ee4444072162317974cd2bbfd57ffcf9a9445391
## Why
MCP tool handlers and their Code Mode definitions are immutable for the lifetime
of a stable MCP binding, so rebuilding them for every sampling step repeats schema
construction unnecessarily.
## What changed
- Cache MCP handlers per session and reuse them while the same binding remains
active, invalidating the cache when the binding changes.
- Lazily cache schema-free Code Mode definitions on MCP handlers while continuing
to rebuild definitions for step-local tools whose specifications may change.
- Reapply current app enablement, tool policy, exposure, and plugin schema budgets
whenever cached handlers are registered for a step.
## Testing
- Cover handler and Code Mode definition reuse, binding invalidation, changing app
policy, stable continuation schemas, and step-local custom tool updates.
GitOrigin-RevId: 69c5011fb97c08580ac476e7fb2286b1e92e0359
## Why
Subagents can reuse cached MCP tool definitions without starting every optional
server before any of its tools are used.
## What changed
- Defer startup for subagent-owned, optional MCP servers when their cache has at
least one visible, allowed tool, and trigger startup on the first operation
that needs the live client.
- Keep root sessions, required servers, selected plugin servers, and explicit
reconnects eager.
- Exclude empty catalogs from cache eligibility and keep dormant servers out of
the initial startup summary.
## Testing
- Extend MCP tool-cache coverage for eager root startup, unused and filtered
subagent servers, deferred startup status events, and startup that survives an
interrupted first tool call.
GitOrigin-RevId: e7528ff08312583a6747cbc6550ea5b6eabda9a6
## Why
A model switch on the first turn has no prior turn settings to compare, and rolling that turn back could leave its model instructions in history.
## What changed
- Track the model that supplied the session's base instructions so first-turn switches inject the target model's instructions, including the selected personality.
- Preserve inherited custom base instructions when starting from an empty fork.
- Remove first-turn model-switch developer content during rollback so retries and cold resumes do not retain or duplicate stale instructions.
## Testing
Add integration coverage for first-turn switches, personality changes, empty-prefix forks, rollback retries, and cold resume.
GitOrigin-RevId: 9df532e9e337521ad3b315b77f8c98e039fb384e
## What changed
- Add the gated `unified_image_budget` feature for models that support original image detail or Responses Lite.
- Apply one 6,000-pixel, 10,000-patch preprocessing limit regardless of legacy image detail hints.
- Hide detail controls from `view_image` and code mode while continuing to accept existing hints for compatibility.
- Preserve detail-based resizing and tool contracts for unsupported models.
## Testing
- Cover unified resizing limits, Responses Lite, legacy detail hints, unsupported models, and `view_image` integration in code mode.
GitOrigin-RevId: cb07bff1669a96599fdfd076b3d9ec80f2b6fff7
## What changed
- Add a storage-neutral queue extension for listing, adding, editing, reordering, deleting, and explicitly starting queued user messages.
- Dispatch queued messages in FIFO order when a thread becomes idle after a completed turn, while leaving them queued after interruptions or failures.
- Wait for user input to be persisted before removing its queue item, and report hook rejection, task termination, and persistence failures distinctly.
- Snapshot local image and audio attachments into validated data URLs before storing them, enforce input limits, and emit `ThreadQueueChanged` events after mutations.
## Testing
- Cover queue mutations, automatic and explicit dispatch, interruption and failure behavior, hook rejection, invalid records, input limits, and local attachment snapshotting.
GitOrigin-RevId: 14f39d7c8cbaccb767a6da84b82cced0edfcb4b9
## Why
Resumed sessions need the current multi-agent usage instructions when configuration changes or the saved history predates usage-hint tracking.
## What changed
- Store multi-agent usage hints in world state and refresh changed or previously untracked hints before re-emitting the active multi-agent mode.
- Present `wait_agent` polling guidance in the overridable developer instructions only when the tool is enabled, instead of embedding it in the tool schema.
## Testing
- Cover cold resumes, changes to `wait_agent` availability, custom usage hints, message ordering, and tool-schema behavior.
GitOrigin-RevId: a9c6798d5dc2dedc8dadc49e0a80ff50a757ab83
## What changed
- Add `session_source()` to `McpServerContributionContext` for thread-scoped MCP resolution.
- Propagate each thread's `SessionSource` through initial setup, per-step resolution, and runtime refreshes.
## Testing
- Verify global contexts omit the source while thread-scoped contexts retain it.
- Verify MCP contributors observe distinct sources for a root thread and its spawned subagent.
GitOrigin-RevId: 23da1509858e023fbd9e2d179034ddc83553f17b
## What changed
- Load ordinary recursive host skill roots with the skills extension's host loader.
- Keep plugin-specific roots on the existing loader so plugin snapshot caching and namespacing continue to work.
- Merge both kinds of root snapshots through the existing precedence and deduplication logic, including discovery paths and source filesystem mappings.
- Move `HostSkillsSnapshot` into the skills extension as the owner of host skill loading.
## Testing
- Cover merged host and plugin catalogs, precedence for symlinked roots, discovery paths, and end-to-end rendering and invocation of host, repository, and plugin skills.
GitOrigin-RevId: c18080afb917c33c57bc17e36b40dd0f3c72d1d7
## What changed
- Add end-to-end coverage for a remote environment whose provisioning status is
reported ready before it is selected for a turn.
- Verify that `wait_for_environment` makes remote execution tools and selected
capability-root context available once the transport is ready.
- Update pending-environment and relay tests to cover separate materialization
and readiness reporting, including deferred connection and reconnection.
GitOrigin-RevId: d86d66e8f722e9bafac88b93d93e7c5244a7156e
## What changed
- Add `include_apps_usage_instructions` to model metadata, defaulting to true for compatibility with existing metadata.
- Emit generic Apps guidance only when apps are available and the selected model enables it.
- Enable the capability for interactive model presets while leaving `codex-auto-review` and local models opted out.
## Testing
- Verify that missing metadata defaults to enabled and an explicit opt-out survives serialization.
GitOrigin-RevId: 6a20573cddfd3b80083d2b4b015829b49e6cc283
## Why
Symlinked skills have a canonical `SKILL.md` path that can differ from the path
under the configured skill root. A catalog entry that advertises the discovery
path must still select the canonical skill.
## What changed
- Track each loaded skill's discovery path alongside its canonical identity.
- Render discovery paths in the skill catalog and accept either form for
structured selections and linked skill mentions.
- Preserve enabled-state checks, deduplication, and product filtering when
resolving discovery paths.
## Testing
Added loader, catalog, mention-resolution, and end-to-end turn coverage for
skills discovered through directory symlinks.
GitOrigin-RevId: bae539b766cc3782c7c121a4276c337699cbb509
## What changed
- Add the disabled-by-default `image_resize_notice` feature.
- When enabled, append a developer message after resized images from user
messages or tool outputs. The notice identifies each image and reports its
original and prepared dimensions.
- Persist notices with new history while avoiding backfilled notices for images
processed when a session is resumed.
## Testing
- Cover notice placement, image numbering, failed images, user and tool image
sources, and resumed-session replay.
GitOrigin-RevId: 11dd808b3ad47eac35e9e2f4a4370f85d0122770
## What changed
- Move permission hooks, reviewer routing, approval caching, and user approval requests into the session-level approval flow.
- Have shell, unified exec, and apply-patch runtimes describe requests as `ApprovalAction` values, which now provide their hook payloads and cache keys.
- Pass a shared `ApprovalContext` through initial and retry approvals so telemetry and approval reasons are handled consistently.
GitOrigin-RevId: 5bfa61daa97e4427f3a648f6cf9d1c27f1551942
## What changed
- Build filesystem and permission context from the primary turn environment's permission profile, working directory, and workspace roots, falling back to the thread context when no primary environment is available.
- Build capability-discovery sandbox contexts from each environment's permission profile and treat discovery as restricted when any selected environment has restricted filesystem access.
## Testing
- Add regression tests covering environment-specific capability discovery and permission context updates.
GitOrigin-RevId: 6bbbd9b88aafa5e6583971ce4e427fc7557f2d93
## What changed
- Derive sandboxing, approval, and permission-profile environment variables from the selected turn environment for shell, unified exec, `apply_patch`, image viewing, and network approval flows.
- Materialize project-root permissions against every workspace root in that environment, allowing `apply_patch` to write to secondary workspace roots while preserving protected paths.
- Carry the selected environment's permission profile into spawned or resumed agents and Guardian permission context.
## Testing
- Add an integration test covering `apply_patch` writes in a secondary workspace root.
- Extend tool, Guardian, and multi-agent tests to distinguish environment permissions from thread-level permissions.
GitOrigin-RevId: e22da8974bcd3de1e724978b1a7790307a51e4bc
## What changed
- Include the current permission profile in each turn environment's configuration.
- Refresh retained environment configurations when session settings change, while preserving the configuration already captured by active turns.
- Keep environment connection and shell snapshot resolution reusable across configuration updates.
## Testing
- Cover permission profile updates applied through both session settings updates and per-turn updates.
- Verify that pending environment resolutions use the configuration captured by their turn and that configuration-only updates do not retry failed environments.
GitOrigin-RevId: 923694f0729b87a118d7635ade3a8ca9bcd4e7b1
## What changed
- Track the first duplicate effective tool name while assembling the tool registry, including collisions introduced by external tools, code mode, and tool search.
- When `[features.tool_registry].error_on_tool_collisions` is enabled, fail the turn with a `duplicate tool: <namespace>.<name>` error before sending a model request.
- Continue allowing identical tool names in different namespaces, and preserve the existing collision behavior when strict checking is disabled.
## Testing
- Cover registry collision tracking, strict tool planning across tool sources, namespace isolation, failure before sampling, and pre-sampling compaction.
GitOrigin-RevId: 4cf83538fb513cec0b9c8b567780caaaadd3243d
## What changed
- Add provider-owned remote compaction capabilities for unsupported, v1, and v2 protocols.
- Mark Amazon Bedrock as v1-only so manual and automatic compaction use `/v1/responses/compact`, even when the v2 feature is enabled.
- Preserve v2 support for OpenAI and Azure Responses providers and local compaction for unsupported providers.
## Testing
- Cover Amazon Bedrock manual and automatic remote compaction, including endpoint selection, authentication headers, model selection, and reuse of the compacted summary.
GitOrigin-RevId: d58093178605d1f8155b93d9a161408177f6ac72
## What changed
- Add a `features.token_budget.mode` setting with `thread` and `name` values.
- Default context-window metadata to the thread ID while allowing configurations to retain the agent name.
- Preserve the selected identity mode when applying model token-budget defaults and replaying locked configuration.
## Testing
- Cover configuration parsing and both identity formats in token-budget context messages.
GitOrigin-RevId: f6e6d2c49e09e70c0352e803bb65784ef77e5bee
## What changed
- Add `features.tool_registry.error_on_tool_collisions`, defaulting to `false`, to the TOML model, generated schema, and resolved runtime configuration.
- Treat `tool_registry` as structured configuration rather than a feature toggle, including in strict config validation and profile configuration.
- Preserve the resolved collision policy in session config lockfiles when it is enabled or explicitly configured.
## Testing
- Cover deserialization, strict validation, default and enabled resolution, feature materialization, and config lockfile serialization.
GitOrigin-RevId: 2c27109dcf2a3d1e51064cc60088703e36a0f85a
## What changed
- Generalize `CodexThread::try_start_turn_if_idle` to accept exported
`TurnInput` values, preserving user content and client IDs in the first model
request.
- Allow non-empty user input to start an idle turn in Plan mode while retaining
the Plan-mode rejection for automatic response items and empty user input.
- Process idle user input through the normal user-turn path so connector
selections are cleared, prompt telemetry is recorded, and referenced skill
instructions are included.
## Testing
- Cover idle user input in Default and Plan modes, response-item mailbox
merging, empty-input rejection, and skill instruction injection.
GitOrigin-RevId: 116667d160d4464b525d9e4c7e8cc05d23a94008
## Why
Reviews may use a different model from their parent turn. They need current
thread settings without inheriting defaults resolved for the parent model.
## What changed
- Build review configuration from the parent turn context while preserving
explicitly configured token-budget overrides.
- Use the review model's token-budget defaults and select a supported reasoning
effort when switching models.
- Carry the session's resolved service tier and current environment,
permissions, and approval settings into the review thread.
## Testing
Expanded review coverage for updated thread settings, model-specific
token-budget defaults, service tiers, and reasoning effort selection.
GitOrigin-RevId: cefa0f22cd9b9e28047d94e1d2d49ff83eded43e
## Why
Guardian reviews received sandbox retry reasons, but not the execution-policy reason that triggered an initial approval request.
## What changed
- Propagate approval and retry reasons through the tool approval flow and include the applicable reason in the Guardian prompt.
- Prefer a sandbox retry reason when both are available.
- Truncate approval context to 512 tokens while preserving the start and end of the reason.
## Testing
Added prompt and integration coverage for policy reasons, retry precedence, and truncation.
GitOrigin-RevId: 5b0f4e1c40b792b031bc8f7b31685a61d12b8d92
## Why
Amazon Bedrock supports hosted text web search, but it rejects the
`search_content_types` field used for multimodal search and does not support
external live or indexed web access.
## What changed
- Advertise hosted web search for Amazon Bedrock while marking external web
access as unsupported.
- Resolve unsupported live and indexed modes to cached search, or disable the
tool when cached search is prohibited by managed requirements.
- Normalize built-in and configured Bedrock model catalogs to text-only web
search, and retain the runtime provider in session configuration so turn
setup can apply its capabilities.
## Testing
- Cover cached fallback, managed-mode restrictions, text-only tool payloads,
provider capabilities, and catalog normalization.
GitOrigin-RevId: 310473849257401654388a4ebb42920e03aa3228
## What changed
- Remove the cached permission profile from `TurnContext` and derive the
effective profile, filesystem policy, network policy, and legacy sandbox
policy from `config.permissions`.
- Update sandbox consumers and tests to use the current turn configuration.
- Verify that role-based agent spawning reapplies runtime permissions and that
cold-resumed agents retain their disabled permission profile.
GitOrigin-RevId: d67c5d2bcbe6dc76f15b56defb485b155fd1f138
## 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
## What changed
- Add `AppToolPolicyEvaluator::apply_app_enabled_state` and use it when
presenting app lists, building plugin context, and deciding whether app
instructions are available.
- Preserve each app's source state unless local or managed configuration
explicitly overrides it.
- Keep connector discovery and post-install refresh checks based on raw
accessibility rather than configured enablement.
## Testing
- Cover default enablement, per-app overrides, managed disablement, and
preservation of unconfigured source state.
GitOrigin-RevId: f1a62d55e7cc48b37113848e3baa0d69d8d9c8a8
## Why
Thread settings can update the approval policy after a turn context is created.
Keeping a separate copy on `TurnContext` could leave tool approval checks using
the previous policy.
## What changed
- Remove the duplicated approval-policy field from `TurnContext`.
- Resolve the policy through the turn's current configuration everywhere it is
needed, including tool execution, Guardian routing, MCP handling, and
permission requests.
## Testing
- Update the shell escalation test to apply a thread-level policy override and
verify that the next turn rejects an escalation using the updated policy.
GitOrigin-RevId: e5966ba08f179d53fd76871ad904762958c0f5ea
## 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
- Apply the session's current approval policy whenever per-turn configuration is built.
- Have review threads inherit the parent turn's full permission settings and approval reviewer.
- Add coverage for settings updated after session startup, including the approval policy, permission profile, and approval reviewer.
GitOrigin-RevId: bff050c6de157dd65d62f7b49651bef3f426ee3f
## What changed
- Gate Codex Apps MCP tool registration on whether apps are enabled instead of requiring each tool's connector to appear in the accessible connector list.
- Continue enforcing model-visibility and app-tool policy checks, including the requirement for connector metadata.
- Use the merged connector catalog for tool-suggestion discovery.
## Testing
- Cover app-tool registration from catalog metadata, including synthetic links, source ordering, and the apps-disabled case.
GitOrigin-RevId: eef4eb03da9738d3a165dd6cfda0d3c1844d51e7
## What changed
- Replace the thread ID in `<context_window>` metadata with the session's canonical agent path.
- Default sessions without an agent path to `/root`.
- Verify that root sessions emit `/root` and subagent sessions emit their own path, such as `/root/worker`.
GitOrigin-RevId: bcf057842ed31f93d554b7de063b6c03403a2594
## What changed
- Store the effective `allow_login_shell` setting on each turn environment, including inherited environments whose child thread has a different policy.
- Expose the `login` argument for shell tools when any selected environment permits login shells.
- Validate each command against the policy of its selected environment instead of the turn-wide configuration.
## Testing
- Cover tool schema generation for single and multiple environments.
- Cover login-shell rejection by both the command handler and the unified exec integration.
GitOrigin-RevId: 5a93149a5c86f4087f2b92d663ebc33feff8a57c
## What changed
- Add `codex-utils-audio` as a workspace crate for canonicalizing audio inputs
and estimating their token usage.
- Update `codex-core` to consume the new crate while preserving the existing
audio preparation tests.
GitOrigin-RevId: d719ecc08363ef52778aa37f3df0ca14f7778324
## What changed
- Track approved command prefixes separately from the stable permissions
instructions in world-state snapshots.
- Emit only newly approved prefixes after an exec-policy amendment instead of
appending the full permissions block again.
- Preserve prefix updates when full permissions instructions are disabled and
remain compatible with legacy world-state snapshots.
## Testing
- Cover incremental prefix additions, removals, legacy snapshots, history
rollback, and approval flows with permissions instructions enabled or disabled.
GitOrigin-RevId: e6f68c6a91be82750e70e28456f2b7c58607fbd8
## What changed
- Add `include_plugin_usage_instructions` to model metadata, defaulting to false.
- Emit generic plugin guidance only when plugins are available and the selected model enables it.
- Enable the capability for interactive model presets while leaving `codex-auto-review` opted out.
GitOrigin-RevId: 67f5a97e978033f5f1d533956c0b9deeae610283
## What changed
- Remove `ModelInfo.base_instructions` as an in-memory instruction source and use `model_messages.instructions_template` consistently for bundled, remote, fallback, and overridden model metadata.
- Preserve compatibility by promoting legacy `base_instructions` values when reading model responses and caches, and by including rendered legacy instructions when serializing `ModelsResponse` for older clients.
- Treat templates without instruction variables as literal text and retain the other model-message fields when applying instruction overrides.
This completes the consolidation proposed in https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/31302.
## Testing
- Cover legacy response and cache migration, canonical-template precedence, fallback instructions, personality rendering, overrides, and model switching.
GitOrigin-RevId: 089d986ca5e30da67db2c77a1b6a046d2cff52dc
## Why
MCP tools can be exposed directly, discovered through tool search, or called
from Code Mode. Servers need to be able to opt out of any of these surfaces
without disabling their tools everywhere.
## What changed
- Add `omit_tools_from` to MCP server configuration, accepting any combination
of `direct`, `deferred`, and `code_mode`.
- Apply the exclusions independently when building direct, deferred, and Code
Mode tool surfaces while keeping omitted tools registered for permitted uses.
- Remove client-private `_meta` fields from MCP results returned to Code Mode.
- Include the new setting in the configuration schema and MCP config
serialization.
## Testing
- Cover every exposure combination across Code Mode, Code-Mode-only sessions,
tool search, direct-only namespaces, and prefixed and unprefixed MCP names.
- Verify direct and nested execution paths, parallel-call support, config
round-tripping, and `_meta` filtering.
GitOrigin-RevId: 12dfcb78bb5c5ecf4d70f38a8b5022792463a27f
## What changed
- Replace the ordering enum and `include_disabled` boolean with named
`ConfigLayerStack` iterators for each precedence direction.
- Keep enabled-only iteration separate from `all_layers_*` iteration, which
includes disabled layers.
- Update config consumers to use the iterator matching their precedence and
disabled-layer requirements without allocating an intermediate `Vec`.
## Testing
- Add coverage that verifies ordering and disabled-layer filtering for all four
iterators.
GitOrigin-RevId: d14df3db4a2eae80ba97cdec246bff405e6c5f3d
## What changed
- Store each turn's host skills snapshot in `ExtensionData` and expose it through
`TurnContext::skills_snapshot`.
- Lazily keep implicit skill invocation deduplication state in the same turn-scoped
store.
- Carry the skills snapshot into review turns without a separate
`TurnSkillsContext` field.
GitOrigin-RevId: d71579b5d230bd0b5f3c2ad062861f74d614d88c
## What changed
- Emit dynamic tool-call analytics for code mode `exec` and `wait` calls, including duration and terminal status.
- Associate code-mode cells and their nested tool calls with the originating and subsequent model response IDs.
- Buffer correlated tool events until the next response is known, while flushing pending events when turns, threads, or the analytics queue close.
## Testing
- Add reducer coverage for correlating `exec`, `wait`, and nested tool events across turns.
- Add an app-server test that verifies production analytics include the cell and response IDs for a code-mode `exec` call.
GitOrigin-RevId: 8b34ab59c1ad68ebbd57f9c8a05f19ab04df48a4
## What changed
- Charge `codex_rollout_budget_units` against the shared rollout budget when the provider includes it in response usage.
- Fall back to weighted input and output token accounting when provider units are absent.
- Reject non-finite or negative provider units as a fatal response error.
## Testing
- Cover provider units in reminder thresholds and local and remote compaction budget exhaustion.
- Verify invalid units fail without retrying the response.
GitOrigin-RevId: b452403e365985854d16f298d1ba46383e9892c4
## What changed
- Parse `codex_rollout_budget_units` from completed Responses API usage into
`TokenUsage`.
- Keep the provider-only value out of serialized protocol, JSON schema, and
TypeScript representations.
## Testing
- Cover the value in unit and end-to-end SSE response parsing tests.
GitOrigin-RevId: a53d4202beb9c8985d25894cb10e7c01f20b2a44
## 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.
GitOrigin-RevId: 29aade657ef743065ec264376ba567a9b353d7d7
## What changed
- Add optional `realtimeStartInstructions` and `realtimeEndInstructions` fields to `thread/realtime/start`.
- Apply the instructions when Codex enters and leaves realtime mode, while preserving the existing defaults when either field is omitted.
- Limit each field to 8,192 estimated tokens.
## Testing
- Cover custom entry and exit instructions across realtime state transitions.
- Cover token-limit validation for both fields.
GitOrigin-RevId: b9cfa1ff22e084d8a6b2ed56bd27d95ffdd6b6bd
## What changed
- Record the effective detail setting and source and prepared dimensions for
successfully decoded images.
- Associate message images with their role and tool-output images with their
originating call ID.
- Include the collected image preparation metadata in the corresponding turn
analytics event.
## Testing
- Cover image resize metadata, tool-output attribution, turn aggregation, event
serialization, and app-server analytics output.
GitOrigin-RevId: dbfb5ba1ce7cb02dd93d9b579c5109817f16aef5
## What changed
- Add `CodexThread::submit_user_input_and_wait_for_admission` and export the
`UserMessageAdmission` result through `codex-core-api`.
- Resolve submissions only after they start a new turn or steer the active
turn, returning the accepting turn ID in either case.
- Return errors for invalid operations, rejected thread settings, and session
termination instead of leaving admission waiters unresolved.
## Testing
Add integration coverage for concurrent start-and-steer submissions, settings
rejection and recovery, non-user operations, and submission after shutdown.
GitOrigin-RevId: 21f1ede38d399baa9836d61a59b9f9af2dbf83b8
## Why
`ToolExecutor::exposure()` describes a tool's preferred exposure, while the host
may apply step-specific policy when building a tool plan.
## What changed
- Store each runtime together with its effective exposure in `ToolRegistry`.
- Apply MCP, namespace, and collaboration-tool exposure overrides directly to
registry entries instead of wrapping runtimes.
- Use the registry-owned exposure when building model-visible specs, deferred
tool search, code-mode executors, and parallel-call support.
## Testing
- Cover that a hidden MCP tool remains routable but is not eligible for parallel
tool calls.
