Abhinav dd916428cd Terminate timed-out hook process trees (#37527)
## Why

Timing out a command hook can leave descendant processes running after the hook itself is stopped.

## What changed

- Run hook commands in a process group on Unix and a job object on Windows.
- Terminate the full process tree when hook execution is cancelled or fails, with `taskkill` as a Windows fallback.
- Preserve descendants when a hook completes successfully so intentionally detached helpers can continue running.

Abhinav 16d85e2708 Add subagent identity to hook inputs (#22882)
# What

When a normal hook fires inside a thread-spawned subagent, Codex now
includes these optional top-level fields in the hook input:

- `agent_id`: the child thread id
- `agent_type`: the subagent role

Root-agent hook inputs omit these fields. `SubagentStart` and
`SubagentStop` keep their existing required `agent_id` and `agent_type`
fields because those events are inherently subagent-scoped.

This does not change matcher behavior. Tool hooks still match on tool
name, compact hooks still match on trigger, and `UserPromptSubmit` still
ignores matchers. Only `SubagentStart` and `SubagentStop` match on
`agent_type`.

Abhinav d08906a944 Support PreToolUse updatedInput rewrites (#20527)
## Why

`PreToolUse` already exposes `updatedInput` in its hook output schema,
but Codex currently rejects it instead of applying the rewrite. That
leaves hook authors unable to make the documented pre-execution
adjustment to a tool call before it runs.

## What

- Accept `updatedInput` from `PreToolUse` hooks when paired with
`permissionDecision: "allow"`.
- Apply the rewritten input before dispatch so the tool executes the
updated payload, not the original one.
- Preserve the stable hook-facing compatibility shapes that
participating tool handlers expose:
- Bash-like tools (`shell`, `container.exec`, `local_shell`,
`shell_command`, `exec_command`) use `{ "command": ... }`.
- `apply_patch` exposes its patch body through the same command-shaped
hook contract.
  - MCP tools expose their JSON argument object directly.
- Keep each participating tool handler responsible for translating
hook-facing `updatedInput` back into its concrete invocation shape.

## Verification

Direct Bash-like rewrite coverage:

- `pre_tool_use_rewrites_shell_before_execution`
- `pre_tool_use_rewrites_container_exec_before_execution`
- `pre_tool_use_rewrites_local_shell_before_execution`
- `pre_tool_use_rewrites_shell_command_before_execution`
- `pre_tool_use_rewrites_exec_command_before_execution`

These cases assert that each supported Bash-like surface runs only the
rewritten command while the hook still observes the original `{
"command": ... }` input.

`pre_tool_use_rewrites_apply_patch_before_execution`

- Model emits one patch.
- Hook swaps in a different patch.
- Asserts only the rewritten file is created, and the hook saw the
original patch.

`pre_tool_use_rewrites_code_mode_nested_exec_command_before_execution`

- Model runs one nested shell command from code mode.
- Hook rewrites it.
- Asserts only the rewritten command runs, and the hook saw the original
nested input.

`pre_tool_use_rewrites_mcp_tool_before_execution`

- Model calls the RMCP echo tool.
- Hook rewrites the MCP arguments.
- Asserts the MCP server receives and returns the rewritten message, not
the original one.

Andrei EternalandVincent Koc 527d52df03 Add compact lifecycle hooks (started by vincentkoc - external contrib) (#19905)
Based on work from Vincent K -
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/19060

<img width="1836" height="642" alt="CleanShot 2026-04-29 at 20 47 40@2x"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b647bb89-65fe-40c8-80b0-7a6b7c984634"
/>

## Why

Compaction rewrites the conversation context that future model turns
receive, but hooks currently have no deterministic lifecycle point
around that rewrite. This adds compact lifecycle hooks so users can
audit manual and automatic compaction, surface hook messages in the UI,
and run post-compaction follow-up without overloading tool or prompt
hooks.

## What Changed

- Added `PreCompact` and `PostCompact` hook events across hook config,
discovery, dispatch, generated schemas, app-server notifications,
analytics, and TUI hook rendering.
- Added trigger matching for compact hooks with the documented `manual`
and `auto` matcher values.
- Wired `PreCompact` before both local and remote compaction, and
`PostCompact` after successful local or remote compaction.
- Kept compact hook command input to lifecycle metadata: session id,
Codex turn id, transcript path, cwd, hook event name, model, and
trigger.
- Made compact stdout handling consistent with other hooks: plain stdout
is ignored as debug output, while malformed JSON-looking stdout is
reported as failed hook output.
- Added integration coverage for compact hook dispatch, trigger
matching, post-compact execution, and the audited behavior that
`decision:"block"` does not block compaction.

## Out of Scope

- Hook-specific compaction blocking is not implemented;
`decision:"block"` and exit-code-2 blocking semantics are intentionally
unsupported for `PreCompact`.
- Custom compaction instructions are not exposed to compact hooks in
this PR.
- Compact summaries, summary character counts, and summary previews are
not exposed to compact hooks in this PR.

## Verification

- `cargo test -p codex-hooks`
- `cargo test -p codex-core
manual_pre_compact_block_decision_does_not_block_compaction`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server hooks_list`
- `cargo test -p codex-core config_schema_matches_fixture`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui hooks_browser`

## Docs

The developer documentation for Codex hooks should be updated alongside
this feature to document `PreCompact` and `PostCompact`, the
`manual`/`auto` matcher values, and the compact hook payload fields.

305825abd9 Support MCP tools in hooks (#18385)
## Summary

Lifecycle hooks currently treat `PreToolUse`, `PostToolUse`, and
`PermissionRequest` as Bash-only flows
- hook schema constrains `tool_name` to `Bash`
- hook input assumes a command-shaped `tool_input`
- core hook dispatch path passes only shell command strings

That means hooks cannot target MCP tools even though MCP tool names are
model-visible and stable

This change generalizes those hook paths so they can match and receive
payloads for MCP tools while preserving the existing Bash behavior.

## Reviewer Notes

I think these are the key files
- `codex-rs/core/src/tools/handlers/mcp.rs`
- `codex-rs/core/src/mcp_tool_call.rs`

Otherwise the changes across apply_patch, shell, and unified_exec are
mainly to rewire everything to be `tool_input` based instead of just
`command` so that it'll make sense for MCP tools.

## Changes

- Allow `PreToolUse`, `PostToolUse`, and `PermissionRequest` hook inputs
to carry arbitrary `tool_name` and `tool_input` values instead of
hard-coding `Bash` and command-only payloads.
- Add MCP hook payload support through `McpHandler`, using the
model-visible tool name from `ToolInvocation` and the raw MCP arguments
as `tool_input`.
- Include MCP tool responses in `PostToolUse` by serializing
`McpToolOutput` into the hook response payload.
- Run `PermissionRequest` hooks for MCP approval requests after
remembered approval checks and before falling back to user-facing MCP
elicitation.
- Preserve exact matching for literal hook matchers like `Bash` and
`mcp__memory__create_entities`, while keeping regex matcher support for
patterns like `mcp__memory__.*` and `mcp__.*__write.*`.

Felipe Coury 09ebc34f17 fix(core): emit hooks for apply_patch edits (#18391)
Fixes https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/16732.

## Why

`apply_patch` is Codex's primary file edit path, but it was not emitting
`PreToolUse` or `PostToolUse` hook events. That meant hook-based policy,
auditing, and write coordination could observe shell commands while
missing the actual file mutation performed by `apply_patch`.

The issue also exposed that the hook runtime serialized command hook
payloads with `tool_name: "Bash"` unconditionally. Even if `apply_patch`
supplied hook payloads, hooks would either fail to match it directly or
receive misleading stdin that identified the edit as a Bash tool call.

## What Changed

- Added `PreToolUse` and `PostToolUse` payload support to
`ApplyPatchHandler`.
- Exposed the raw patch body as `tool_input.command` for both
JSON/function and freeform `apply_patch` calls.
- Taught tool hook payloads to carry a handler-supplied hook-facing
`tool_name`.
- Preserved existing shell compatibility by continuing to emit `Bash`
for shell-like tools.
- Serialized the selected hook `tool_name` into hook stdin instead of
hardcoding `Bash`.
- Relaxed the generated hook command input schema so `tool_name` can
represent tools other than `Bash`.

## Verification

Added focused handler coverage for:

- JSON/function `apply_patch` calls producing a `PreToolUse` payload.
- Freeform `apply_patch` calls producing a `PreToolUse` payload.
- Successful `apply_patch` output producing a `PostToolUse` payload.
- Shell and `exec_command` handlers continuing to expose `Bash`.

Added end-to-end hook coverage for:

- A `PreToolUse` hook matching `^apply_patch$` blocking the patch before
the target file is created.
- A `PostToolUse` hook matching `^apply_patch$` receiving the patch
input and tool response, then adding context to the follow-up model
request.
- Non-participating tools such as the plan tool continuing not to emit
`PreToolUse`/`PostToolUse` hook events.

Also validated manually with a live `codex exec` smoke test using an
isolated temp workspace and temp `CODEX_HOME`. The smoke test confirmed
that a real `apply_patch` edit emits `PreToolUse`/`PostToolUse` with
`tool_name: "apply_patch"`, a shell command still emits `tool_name:
"Bash"`, and a denying `PreToolUse` hook prevents the blocked patch file
from being created.

AbhinavandCodex 8494e5bd7b Add PermissionRequest hooks support (#17563)
## Why

We need `PermissionRequest` hook support!

Also addresses:
- https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/16301
- run a script on Hook to do things like play a sound to draw attention
but actually no-op so user can still approve
- can omit the `decision` object from output or just have the script
exit 0 and print nothing
- https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/15311
  - let the script approve/deny on its own
  - external UI what will run on Hook and relay decision back to codex


## Reviewer Note

There's a lot of plumbing for the new hook, key files to review are:
- New hook added in `codex-rs/hooks/src/events/permission_request.rs`
- Wiring for network approvals
`codex-rs/core/src/tools/network_approval.rs`
- Wiring for tool orchestrator `codex-rs/core/src/tools/orchestrator.rs`
- Wiring for execve
`codex-rs/core/src/tools/runtimes/shell/unix_escalation.rs`

## What

- Wires shell, unified exec, and network approval prompts into the
`PermissionRequest` hook flow.
- Lets hooks allow or deny approval prompts; quiet or invalid hooks fall
back to the normal approval path.
- Uses `tool_input.description` for user-facing context when it helps:
  - shell / `exec_command`: the request justification, when present
  - network approvals: `network-access <domain>`
- Uses `tool_name: Bash` for shell, unified exec, and network approval
permission-request hooks.
- For network approvals, passes the originating command in
`tool_input.command` when there is a single owning call; otherwise falls
back to the synthetic `network-access ...` command.

## Follow-ups

- Implement the `PermissionRequest` semantics for `updatedInput`,
`updatedPermissions`, `interrupt`, and suggestions /
`permission_suggestions`
- Add `PermissionRequest` support for the `request_permissions` tool
path
