For app-server websocket auth, support the two server-side mechanisms
from
PR #14847:
- `--ws-auth capability-token --ws-token-file /abs/path`
- `--ws-auth signed-bearer-token --ws-shared-secret-file /abs/path`
with optional `--ws-issuer`, `--ws-audience`, and
`--ws-max-clock-skew-seconds`
On the client side, add interactive remote support via:
- `--remote ws://host:port` or `--remote wss://host:port`
- `--remote-auth-token-env <ENV_VAR>`
Codex reads the bearer token from the named environment variable and
sends it
as `Authorization: Bearer <token>` during the websocket handshake.
Remote auth
tokens are only allowed for `wss://` URLs or loopback `ws://` URLs.
Testing:
- tested both auth methods manually to confirm connection success and
rejection for both auth types
When `tui_app_server` is enabled, shell commands in the transcript
render as fully quoted invocations like `/bin/zsh -lc "..."`. The
non-app-server TUI correctly shows the parsed command body.
Root cause:
The app-server stores `ThreadItem::CommandExecution.command` as a
shell-quoted string. When `tui_app_server` bridges that item back into
the exec renderer, it was passing `vec![command]` unchanged instead of
splitting the string back into argv. That prevented
`strip_bash_lc_and_escape()` from recognizing the shell wrapper, so the
renderer displayed the wrapper literally.
Solution:
Add a shared command-string splitter that round-trips shell-quoted
commands back into argv when it is safe to do so, while preserving
non-roundtrippable inputs as a single string. Use that helper everywhere
`tui_app_server` reconstructs exec commands from app-server payloads,
including live command-execution items, replayed thread items, and exec
approval requests. This restores the same command display behavior as
the direct TUI path without breaking Windows-style commands that cannot
be safely round-tripped.

the block message did.
- PostToolUse block: the command did execute, but the actual stdout did not come back into context.

So the blocked notifications landed in context, but the blocked command payloads themselves did not.

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.
## Summary
- add an explicit `mcp.tools.call` span around MCP tool execution in
core
- keep MCP span validation local to `mcp_tool_call_tests` instead of
broadening the integration test suite
- inline the turn/session correlation fields directly in the span
initializer
## Included Changes
- `codex-rs/core/src/mcp_tool_call.rs`: wrap the existing MCP tool call
in `mcp.tools.call` and inline `conversation.id`, `session.id`, and
`turn.id` in the span initializer
- `codex-rs/core/src/mcp_tool_call_tests.rs`: assert the MCP span
records the expected correlation and server fields
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-core`
- `just fmt`
## Notes
- `cargo test -p codex-core` still hits existing unrelated failures in
guardian-config tests and the sandboxed JS REPL `mktemp` test
- metric work moved to stacked PR #15792
- transport-level RMCP spans and trace propagation remain in stacked PR
#15792
- full workspace `cargo test` was not run

I've seen several intermittent failures of
`get_auth_status_returns_token_after_proactive_refresh_recovery` today.
I investigated, and I found a couple of issues.
First, `getAuthStatus(refreshToken=true)` could refresh twice in one
request: once via `refresh_token_if_requested()` and again via the
proactive refresh path inside `auth_manager.auth()`. In the
permanent-failure case this produced an extra `/oauth/token` call and
made the app-server auth tests flaky. Use `auth_cached()` after an
explicit refresh request so the handler reuses the post-refresh auth
state instead of immediately re-entering proactive refresh logic. Keep
the existing proactive path for `refreshToken=false`.
Second, serialize auth refresh attempts in `AuthManager` have a
startup/request race. One proactive refresh could already be in flight
while a `getAuthStatus(refreshToken=false)` request entered
`auth().await`, causing a second `/oauth/token` call before the first
failure or refresh result had been recorded. Guarding the refresh flow
with a single async lock makes concurrent callers share one refresh
result, which prevents duplicate refreshes and stabilizes the
proactive-refresh auth tests.
## Summary
- move skill loading and management into codex-core-skills
- leave codex-core with the thin integration layer and shared wiring

## TL;DR
When running codex with `-c features.tui_app_server=true` we see
corruption when streaming large amounts of data. This PR marks other
event types as _critical_ by making them _must-deliver_.
## Problem
When the TUI consumer falls behind the app-server event stream, the
bounded `mpsc` channel fills up and the forwarding layer drops events
via `try_send`. Previously only `TurnCompleted` was marked as
must-deliver. Streamed assistant text (`AgentMessageDelta`) and the
authoritative final item (`ItemCompleted`) were treated as droppable —
the same as ephemeral command output deltas. Because the TUI renders
markdown incrementally from these deltas, dropping any of them produces
permanently corrupted or incomplete paragraphs that persist for the rest
of the session.
## Mental model
The app-server event stream has two tiers of importance:
1. **Lossless (transcript + terminal):** Events that form the
authoritative record of what the assistant said or that signal turn
lifecycle transitions. Losing any of these corrupts the visible output
or leaves surfaces waiting forever. These are: `AgentMessageDelta`,
`PlanDelta`, `ReasoningSummaryTextDelta`, `ReasoningTextDelta`,
`ItemCompleted`, and `TurnCompleted`.
2. **Best-effort (everything else):** Ephemeral status events like
`CommandExecutionOutputDelta` and progress notifications. Dropping these
under load causes cosmetic gaps but no permanent corruption.
The forwarding layer uses `try_send` for best-effort events (dropping on
backpressure) and blocking `send().await` for lossless events (applying
back-pressure to the producer until the consumer catches up).
## Non-goals
- Eliminating backpressure entirely. The bounded queue is intentional;
this change only widens the set of events that survive it.
- Changing the event protocol or adding new notification types.
- Addressing root causes of consumer slowness (e.g. TUI render cost).
## Tradeoffs
Blocking on transcript events means a slow consumer can now stall the
producer for the duration of those events. This is acceptable because:
(a) the alternative is permanently broken output, which is worse; (b)
the consumer already had to keep up with `TurnCompleted` blocking sends;
and (c) transcript events arrive at model-output speed, not burst speed,
so sustained saturation is unlikely in practice.
## Architecture
Two parallel changes, one per transport:
- **In-process path** (`lib.rs`): The inline forwarding logic was
extracted into `forward_in_process_event`, a standalone async function
that encapsulates the lag-marker / must-deliver / try-send decision
tree. The worker loop now delegates to it. A new
`server_notification_requires_delivery` function (shared `pub(crate)`)
centralizes the notification classification.
- **Remote path** (`remote.rs`): The local `event_requires_delivery` now
delegates to the same shared `server_notification_requires_delivery`,
keeping both transports in sync.
## Observability
No new metrics or log lines. The existing `warn!` on event drops
continues to fire for best-effort events. Lossless events that block
will not produce a log line (they simply wait).
## Tests
- `event_requires_delivery_marks_transcript_and_terminal_events`: unit
test confirming the expanded classification covers `AgentMessageDelta`,
`ItemCompleted`, `TurnCompleted`, and excludes
`CommandExecutionOutputDelta` and `Lagged`.
-
`forward_in_process_event_preserves_transcript_notifications_under_backpressure`:
integration-style test that fills a capacity-1 channel, verifies a
best-effort event is dropped (skipped count increments), then sends
lossless transcript events and confirms they all arrive in order with
the correct lag marker preceding them.
- `remote_backpressure_preserves_transcript_notifications`: end-to-end
test over a real websocket that verifies the remote transport preserves
transcript events under the same backpressure scenario.
- `event_requires_delivery_marks_transcript_and_disconnect_events`
(remote): unit test confirming the remote-side classification covers
transcript events and `Disconnected`.

## Summary
This change adds websocket authentication at the app-server transport
boundary and enforces it before JSON-RPC `initialize`, so authenticated
deployments reject unauthenticated clients during the websocket
handshake rather than after a connection has already been admitted.
During rollout, websocket auth is opt-in for non-loopback listeners so
we do not break existing remote clients. If `--ws-auth ...` is
configured, the server enforces auth during websocket upgrade. If auth
is not configured, non-loopback listeners still start, but app-server
logs a warning and the startup banner calls out that auth should be
configured before real remote use.
The server supports two auth modes: a file-backed capability token, and
a standard HMAC-signed JWT/JWS bearer token verified with the
`jsonwebtoken` crate, with optional issuer, audience, and clock-skew
validation. Capability tokens are normalized, hashed, and compared in
constant time. Short shared secrets for signed bearer tokens are
rejected at startup. Requests carrying an `Origin` header are rejected
with `403` by transport middleware, and authenticated clients present
credentials as `Authorization: Bearer <token>` during websocket upgrade.
## Validation
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server transport::auth`
- `cargo test -p codex-cli app_server_`
- `cargo clippy -p codex-app-server --all-targets -- -D warnings`
- `just bazel-lock-check`
Note: in the broad `cargo test -p codex-app-server
connection_handling_websocket` run, the touched websocket auth cases
passed, but unrelated Unix shutdown tests failed with a timeout in this
environment.

## TL;DR
This PR changes the `tui_app_server` _path_ in the following ways:
- add missing feature to show agent names (shows only UUIDs today)
- add `Cmd/Alt+Arrows` navigation between agent conversations
## Problem
When the TUI connects to a remote app server, collab agent tool-call
items (spawn, wait, delegate, etc.) render thread UUIDs instead of
human-readable agent names because the `ChatWidget` never receives
nickname/role metadata for receiver threads. Separately, keyboard
next/previous agent navigation silently does nothing when the local
`AgentNavigationState` cache has not yet been populated with subagent
threads that the remote server already knows about.
Both issues share a root cause: in the remote (app-server) code path the
TUI never proactively fetches thread metadata. In the local code path
this metadata arrives naturally via spawn events the TUI itself
orchestrates, but in the remote path those events were processed by a
different client and the TUI only sees the resulting collab tool-call
notifications.
## Mental model
Collab agent tool-call notifications reference receiver threads by id,
but carry no nickname or role. The TUI needs that metadata in two
places:
1. **Rendering** -- `ChatWidget` converts `CollabAgentToolCall` items
into history cells. Without metadata, agent status lines show raw UUIDs.
2. **Navigation** -- `AgentNavigationState` tracks known threads for the
`/agent` picker and keyboard cycling. Without entries for remote
subagents, next/previous has nowhere to go.
This change closes the gap with two complementary strategies:
- **Eager hydration**: when any notification carries
`receiver_thread_ids`, the TUI fetches metadata (`thread/read`) for
threads it has not yet cached before the notification is rendered.
- **Backfill on thread switch**: when the user resumes, forks, or starts
a new app-server thread, the TUI fetches the full `thread/loaded/list`,
walks the parent-child spawn tree, and registers every descendant
subagent in both the navigation cache and the `ChatWidget` metadata map.
A new `collab_agent_metadata` side-table in `ChatWidget` stores
nickname/role keyed by `ThreadId`, kept in sync by `App` whenever it
calls `upsert_agent_picker_thread`. The `replace_chat_widget` helper
re-seeds this map from `AgentNavigationState` so that thread switches
(which reconstruct the widget) do not lose previously discovered
metadata.
## Non-goals
- This change does not alter the local (non-app-server) collab code
path. That path already receives metadata via spawn events and is
unaffected.
- No new protocol messages are introduced. The change uses existing
`thread/read` and `thread/loaded/list` RPCs.
- No changes to how `AgentNavigationState` orders or cycles through
threads. The traversal logic is unchanged; only the population of
entries is extended.
## Tradeoffs
- **Extra RPCs on notification path**:
`hydrate_collab_agent_metadata_for_notification` issues a `thread/read`
for each unknown receiver thread before the notification is forwarded to
rendering. This adds latency on the notification path but only fires
once per thread (the result is cached). The alternative -- rendering
first and backfilling names later -- would cause visible flicker as
UUIDs are replaced with names.
- **Backfill fetches all loaded threads**:
`backfill_loaded_subagent_threads` fetches the full loaded-thread list
and walks the spawn tree even when the user may only care about one
subagent. This is simple and correct but O(loaded_threads) per thread
switch. For typical session sizes this is negligible; it could become a
concern for sessions with hundreds of subagents.
- **Metadata duplication**: agent nickname/role is now stored in both
`AgentNavigationState` (for picker/label) and
`ChatWidget::collab_agent_metadata` (for rendering). The two are kept in
sync through `upsert_agent_picker_thread` and `replace_chat_widget`, but
there is no compile-time enforcement of this coupling.
## Architecture
### New module: `app::loaded_threads`
Pure function `find_loaded_subagent_threads_for_primary` that takes a
flat list of `Thread` objects and a primary thread id, then walks the
`SessionSource::SubAgent` parent-child edges to collect all transitive
descendants. Returns a sorted vec of `LoadedSubagentThread` (thread_id +
nickname + role). No async, no side effects -- designed for unit
testing.
### New methods on `App`
| Method | Purpose |
|--------|---------|
| `collab_receiver_thread_ids` | Extracts `receiver_thread_ids` from
`ItemStarted` / `ItemCompleted` collab notifications |
| `hydrate_collab_agent_metadata_for_notification` | Fetches and caches
metadata for unknown receiver threads before a notification is rendered
|
| `backfill_loaded_subagent_threads` | Bulk-fetches all loaded threads
and registers descendants of the primary thread |
| `adjacent_thread_id_with_backfill` | Attempts navigation, falls back
to backfill if the cache has no adjacent entry |
| `replace_chat_widget` | Replaces the widget and re-seeds its metadata
map from `AgentNavigationState` |
### New state in `ChatWidget`
`collab_agent_metadata: HashMap<ThreadId, CollabAgentMetadata>` -- a
lookup table that rendering functions consult to attach human-readable
names to collab tool-call items. Populated externally by `App` via
`set_collab_agent_metadata`.
### New method on `AppServerSession`
`thread_loaded_list` -- thin wrapper around
`ClientRequest::ThreadLoadedList`.
## Observability
- `tracing::warn` on invalid thread ids during hydration and backfill.
- `tracing::warn` on failed `thread/read` or `thread/loaded/list` RPCs
(with thread id and error).
- No new metrics or feature flags.
## Tests
-
**`loaded_threads::tests::finds_loaded_subagent_tree_for_primary_thread`**
-- unit test for the spawn-tree walk: verifies child and grandchild are
included, unrelated threads are excluded, and metadata is carried
through.
-
**`app::tests::replace_chat_widget_reseeds_collab_agent_metadata_for_replay`**
-- integration test that creates a `ChatWidget`, replaces it via
`replace_chat_widget`, replays a collab wait notification, and asserts
the rendered history cell contains the agent name rather than a UUID.
- **Updated snapshot** `app_server_collab_wait_items_render_history` --
the existing collab wait rendering test now sets metadata before sending
notifications, so the snapshot shows `Robie [explorer]` / `Ada
[reviewer]` instead of raw thread ids.

## TL;DR
Fix duplicated reasoning summaries in `tui_app_server`.
<img width="1716" height="912" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/6362f25a-ab1c-4a01-bf10-b5616c9428c2"
/>
During live turns, reasoning text is already rendered incrementally from
`ReasoningSummaryTextDelta`. When the same reasoning item later arrives
via `ItemCompleted`, we should only finalize the reasoning block, not
render the same summary again.
## What changed
- only replay rendered reasoning summaries from completed
`ThreadItem::Reasoning` items
- kept live completed reasoning items as finalize-only
- added a regression test covering the live streaming + completion path
## Why
Without this, the first reasoning summary often appears twice in the
transcript when `model_reasoning_summary = "detailed"` and
`features.tui_app_server = true`.
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.

- Changed `requires_mcp_tool_approval` to apply MCP spec defaults when
annotations are missing.
- Unannotated tools now default to:
- `readOnlyHint = false`
- `destructiveHint = true`
- `openWorldHint = true`
- This means unannotated MCP tools now go through approval/ARC
monitoring instead of silently bypassing it.
- Explicitly read-only tools still skip approval unless they are also
explicitly marked destructive.
**Previous behavior**
Failed open for missing annotations, which was unsafe for custom MCP
tools that omitted or forgot annotations.

This PR adds code to recover from a narrow app-server timing race where
a follow-up can be sent after the previous turn has already ended but
before the TUI has observed that completion.
Instead of surfacing turn/steer failed: no active turn to steer, the
client now treats that as a stale active-turn cache and falls back to
starting a fresh turn, matching the intended submit behavior more
closely. This is similar to the strategy employed by other app server
clients (notably, the IDE extension and desktop app).
This race exists because the current app-server API makes the client
choose between two separate RPCs, turn/steer and turn/start, based on
its local view of whether a turn is still active. That view is
replicated from asynchronous notifications, so it can be stale for a
brief window. The server may already have ended the turn while the
client still believes it is in progress. Since the choice is made
client-side rather than atomically on the server, tui_app_server can
occasionally send turn/steer for a turn that no longer exists.
## Summary
- keep legacy Windows restricted-token sandboxing as the supported
baseline
- support the split-policy subset that restricted-token can enforce
directly today
- support full-disk read, the same writable root set as legacy
`WorkspaceWrite`, and extra read-only carveouts under those writable
roots via additional deny-write ACLs
- continue to fail closed for unsupported split-only shapes, including
explicit unreadable (`none`) carveouts, reopened writable descendants
under read-only carveouts, and writable root sets that do not match the
legacy workspace roots
## Example
Given a filesystem policy like:
```toml
":root" = "read"
":cwd" = "write"
"./docs" = "read"
```
the restricted-token backend can keep the workspace writable while
denying writes under `docs` by layering an extra deny-write carveout on
top of the legacy workspace-write roots.
A policy like:
```toml
"/workspace" = "write"
"/workspace/docs" = "read"
"/workspace/docs/tmp" = "write"
```
still fails closed, because the unelevated backend cannot reopen the
nested writable descendant safely.
## Stack
-> fix: support split carveouts in windows restricted-token sandbox
#14172
fix: support split carveouts in windows elevated sandbox #14568
## Summary
- remove the fork-startup `build_initial_context` injection
- keep the reconstructed `reference_context_item` as the fork baseline
until the first real turn
- update fork-history tests and the request snapshot, and add a
`TODO(ccunningham)` for remaining nondiffable initial-context inputs
## Why
Fork startup was appending current-session initial context immediately
after reconstructing the parent rollout, then the first real turn could
emit context updates again. That duplicated model-visible context in the
child rollout.
## Impact
Forked sessions now behave like resume for context seeding: startup
reconstructs history and preserves the prior baseline, and the first
real turn handles any current-session context emission.

## Summary
- Reuse the existing config path resolver for the macOS MDM managed
preferences layer so `writable_roots = ["~/code"]` expands the same way

tests in `config_loader/tests.rs` and `config/service_tests.rs`
- research note: `resolve_relative_paths_in_config_toml(...)` is already
used in several existing configuration paths, including [CLI
overrides](74fda242d3/codex-rs/core/src/config_loader/mod.rs (L152-L163)),

- Removes provenance filtering in the mentions feature for apps and
skills that were installed as part of a plugin.
- All skills and apps for a plugin are mentionable with this change.
## Why
This is a follow-up to #15360. That change fixed the `arg0` helper
setup, but `rmcp-client` still coerced stdio transport environment
values into UTF-8 `String`s before program resolution and process spawn.
If `PATH` or another inherited environment value contains non-UTF-8
bytes, that loses fidelity before it reaches `which` and `Command`.
## What changed
- change `create_env_for_mcp_server()` to return `HashMap<OsString,
OsString>` and read inherited values with `std::env::var_os()`
- change `TransportRecipe::Stdio.env`, `RmcpClient::new_stdio_client()`,
and `program_resolver::resolve()` to keep stdio transport env values in
`OsString` form within `rmcp-client`
- keep the `codex-core` config boundary stringly, but convert configured
stdio env values to `OsString` once when constructing the transport
- update the rmcp-client stdio test fixtures and callers to use
`OsString` env maps
- add a Unix regression test that verifies `create_env_for_mcp_server()`
preserves a non-UTF-8 `PATH`
## How to verify
- `cargo test -p codex-rmcp-client`
- `cargo test -p codex-core mcp_connection_manager`
- `just argument-comment-lint`
Targeted coverage in this change includes
`utils::tests::create_env_preserves_path_when_it_is_not_utf8`, while the
updated stdio transport path is exercised by the existing rmcp-client
tests that construct `RmcpClient::new_stdio_client()`.
### Summary
Add the v2 app-server filesystem watch RPCs and notifications, wire them
through the message processor, and implement connection-scoped watches
with notify-backed change delivery. This also updates the schema
fixtures, app-server documentation, and the v2 integration coverage for
watch and unwatch behavior.
This allows clients to efficiently watch for filesystem updates, e.g. to
react on branch changes.
### Testing
- exercise watch lifecycles for directory changes, atomic file
replacement, missing-file targets, and unwatch cleanup
- 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

## Summary
- drop `sandbox_permissions` from the sandboxing `ExecOptions` and
`ExecRequest` adapter types
- remove the now-unused plumbing from shell, unified exec, JS REPL, and
apply-patch runtime call sites
- default reconstructed `ExecParams` to `SandboxPermissions::UseDefault`
where the lower-level API still requires the field
## Testing
- `just fmt`
- `just argument-comment-lint`
- `cargo test -p codex-core` (still running locally; first failures
observed in `suite::cli_stream::responses_mode_stream_cli`,
`suite::cli_stream::responses_mode_stream_cli_supports_openai_base_url_config_override`,
and
`suite::cli_stream::responses_mode_stream_cli_supports_openai_base_url_env_fallback`)
