Before this, the TUI was starting 2 app-server. One to check the login
status and one to actually start the session
This PR make only one app-server startup and defer the login check in
async, outside of the frame rendering path

Addresses #16677
Problem: Paid-plan startup tooltips still advertised 2x rate limits
until April 2nd after that promo had expired.
Solution: Remove the stale expiry copy and use evergreen Codex App /
Codex startup tips instead.
## Summary
Fix network proxy sessions so changing sandbox mode recomputes the
effective managed network policy and applies it to the already-running
per-session proxy.
## Root Cause
`danger_full_access_denylist_only` injects `"*"` only while building the
proxy spec for Full Access. Sessions built that spec once at startup, so
a later permission switch to Full Access left the live proxy in its
original restricted policy. Switching back needed the same recompute
path to remove the synthetic wildcard again.
## What Changed
- Preserve the original managed network proxy config/requirements so the
effective spec can be recomputed for a new sandbox policy.
- Refresh the current session proxy when sandbox settings change, then
reapply exec-policy network overlays.
- Add an in-place proxy state update path while rejecting
listener/port/SOCKS changes that cannot be hot-reloaded.
- Keep runtime proxy settings cheap to snapshot and update.
- Add regression coverage for workspace-write -> Full Access ->
workspace-write.
Tests added for existing JsonSchema in
`codex-rs/tools/src/json_schema_tests.rs`:
- `parse_tool_input_schema_coerces_boolean_schemas`
- `parse_tool_input_schema_infers_object_shape_and_defaults_properties`
- `parse_tool_input_schema_normalizes_integer_and_missing_array_items`
- `parse_tool_input_schema_sanitizes_additional_properties_schema`
-
`parse_tool_input_schema_infers_object_shape_from_boolean_additional_properties_only`
- `parse_tool_input_schema_infers_number_from_numeric_keywords`
- `parse_tool_input_schema_infers_number_from_multiple_of`
-
`parse_tool_input_schema_infers_string_from_enum_const_and_format_keywords`
- `parse_tool_input_schema_defaults_empty_schema_to_string`
- `parse_tool_input_schema_infers_array_from_prefix_items`
-
`parse_tool_input_schema_preserves_boolean_additional_properties_on_inferred_object`
-
`parse_tool_input_schema_infers_object_shape_from_schema_additional_properties_only`
Tests that we expect to fail on the baseline normalizer, but pass with
the new JsonSchema:
- `parse_tool_input_schema_preserves_nested_nullable_type_union`
- `parse_tool_input_schema_preserves_nested_any_of_property`
## TL;DR
- Fetches account/rateLimits/read asynchronously so the TUI can continue
starting without waiting for the rate-limit response.
- Fixes the /status card so it no longer leaves a stale “refreshing
cached limits...” notice in terminal history.
## Problem
The TUI bootstrap path fetched account rate limits synchronously
(`account/rateLimits/read`) before the event loop started for
ChatGPT/OpenAI-authenticated startups. This added ~670 ms of blocking
latency in the measured hot-start case, even though rate-limit data is
not needed to render the initial UI or accept user input. The delay was
especially noticeable on hot starts where every other RPC
(`account/read`, `model/list`, `thread/start`) completed in under 70 ms
total.
Moving that fetch to the background also exposed a `/status` UI bug: the
status card is flattened into terminal scrollback when it is inserted. A
transient "refreshing limits in background..." line could not be cleared
later, because the async completion updated the retained `HistoryCell`,
not the already-written terminal history.
## Mental model
Before this change, `AppServerSession::bootstrap()` performed three
sequential RPCs: `account/read` → `model/list` →
`account/rateLimits/read`. The result of the third call was baked into
`AppServerBootstrap` and applied to the chat widget before the event
loop began.
After this change, `bootstrap()` only performs two RPCs (`account/read`
+ `model/list`), and rate-limit fetching is kicked off as an async
background task immediately after the first frame is scheduled. A new
enum, `RateLimitRefreshOrigin`, tags each fetch so the event handler
knows whether the result came from the startup prefetch or from a
user-initiated `/status` command; they have different completion
side-effects.
The `get_login_status()` helper (used outside the main app flow) was
also decoupled: it previously called the full `bootstrap()` just to
check auth mode, wasting model-list and rate-limit work. It now calls
the narrower `read_account()` directly.
For `/status`, this PR keeps the background refresh request but stops
printing transient refresh notices into status history when cached
limits are already available. If a refresh updates the cache, the next
`/status` command will render the new values.
## Non-goals
- This change does not alter the rate-limit data itself.
- This change does not introduce caching, retries, or staleness
management for rate limits.
- This change does not affect the `model/list` or `thread/start` RPCs;
they remain on the critical startup path.
## Tradeoffs
- **Stale-on-first-render**: The status bar will briefly show no
rate-limit info until the background fetch completes; observed
background fetches landed roughly in the 400-900 ms range after the UI
appeared. This is acceptable because the user cannot meaningfully act on
rate-limit data in the first fraction of a second.
- **Error silence on startup prefetch**: If the startup prefetch fails,
the error is logged but the UI is not notified (unlike `/status` refresh
failures, which go through the status-command completion path). This
avoids surfacing transient network errors as a startup blocker.
- **Static `/status` history**: `/status` output is terminal history,
not a live widget. The card now avoids progress-style language that
would appear stuck in scrollback; users can run `/status` again to see
newly cached values.
- **`account_auth_mode` field removed from `AppServerBootstrap`**: The
only consumer was `get_login_status()`, which no longer goes through
`bootstrap()`. The field was dead weight.
## Architecture
### New types
- `RateLimitRefreshOrigin` (in `app_event.rs`): A `Copy` enum
distinguishing `StartupPrefetch` from `StatusCommand { request_id }`.
Carried through `RefreshRateLimits` and `RateLimitsLoaded` events so the
handler applies the right completion behavior.
### Modified types
- `AppServerBootstrap`: Lost `account_auth_mode` and
`rate_limit_snapshots`; gained `requires_openai_auth: bool` (passed
through from the account response so the caller can decide whether to
fire the prefetch).
### Control flow
1. `bootstrap()` returns with `requires_openai_auth` and
`has_chatgpt_account`.
2. After scheduling the first frame, `App::run_inner` fires
`refresh_rate_limits(StartupPrefetch)` if both flags are true.
3. When `RateLimitsLoaded { StartupPrefetch, Ok(..) }` arrives,
snapshots are applied and a frame is scheduled to repaint the status
bar.
4. When `RateLimitsLoaded { StartupPrefetch, Err(..) }` arrives, the
error is logged and no UI update occurs.
5. `/status`-initiated refreshes continue to use `StatusCommand {
request_id }` and call `finish_status_rate_limit_refresh` on completion
(success or failure).
6. `/status` history cells with cached rate-limit rows no longer render
an additional "refreshing limits" notice; the async refresh updates the
cache for future status output.
### Extracted method
- `AppServerSession::read_account()`: Factored out of `bootstrap()` so
that `get_login_status()` can call it independently without triggering
model-list or rate-limit work.
## Observability
- The existing `tracing::warn!` for rate-limit fetch failures is
preserved for the startup path.
- No new metrics or spans are introduced. The startup-time improvement
is observable via the existing `ready` timestamp in TUI startup logs.
## Tests
- Existing tests in `status_command_tests.rs` are updated to match on
`RateLimitRefreshOrigin::StatusCommand { request_id }` instead of a bare
`request_id`.
- Focused `/status` tests now assert that status history avoids
transient refresh text, continues to request an async refresh, and uses
refreshed cached limits in future status output.
- No new tests are added for the startup prefetch path because it is a
fire-and-forget spawn with no observable side-effect other than the
widget state update, which is already covered by the
snapshot-application tests.

Fast Mode status was still tied to one model name in the TUI and
model-list plumbing. This changes the model metadata shape so a model
can advertise additional speed tiers, carries that field through the
app-server model list, and uses it to decide when to show Fast Mode
status.
For people using Codex, the behavior is intended to stay the same for
existing models. Fast Mode still requires the existing signed-in /
feature-gated path; the difference is that the UI can now recognize any
model the model list marks as Fast-capable, instead of requiring a new
client-side slug check.
## Summary
- run apply_patch through the executor filesystem when a remote
environment is present instead of shelling out to the local process
- thread the executor FileSystem into apply_patch interception and keep
existing local behavior for non-remote turns
- make the apply_patch integration harness use the executor filesystem
for setup/assertions
- add remote-aware skips for turn-diff coverage that still reads the
test-runner filesystem
## Why
Remote apply_patch needed to mutate the remote workspace instead of the
local checkout. The tests also needed to seed and assert workspace state
through the same filesystem abstraction so local and remote runs
exercise the same behavior.
## Validation

Adds WebRTC startup to the experimental app-server
`thread/realtime/start` method with an optional transport enum. The
websocket path remains the default; WebRTC offers create the realtime
session through the shared start flow and emit the answer SDP via
`thread/realtime/sdp`.

## Summary
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/13860 changed the serialized output
format of Unified Exec. This PR reverts those changes and some related
test changes
## Testing
- [x] Update tests

## Summary
- Remove the stale `?` after `AbsolutePathBuf::join` in the unified exec
integration test helper.
## Root Cause
- `AbsolutePathBuf::join` was made infallible, but
`core/tests/suite/unified_exec.rs` still treated it as a `Result`, which
broke the Windows test build for the `all` integration test target.
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --test all
unified_exec_resolves_relative_workdir`
## Summary
- Convert unified exec integration tests that can run against the remote
executor to use the remote-aware test harness.
- Create workspace directories through the executor filesystem for
remote runs.
- Install `python3` and `zsh` in the remote test container so restored
Python/zsh-based test commands work in fresh Ubuntu containers.

## Description
This PR changes guardian transcript compaction so oversized
conversations no longer collapse into a nearly empty placeholder.
Before this change, if the retained user history alone exceeded the
message budget, guardian would replace the entire transcript with
`<transcript omitted to preserve budget for planned action>`!
That meant approvals, especially network approvals, could lose the
recent tool call and tool result that explained what guardian was
actually reviewing. Now we keep a compact but usable transcript instead
of dropping it all.

## Summary
This adds a stable Codex installation ID and includes it on Responses
API requests via `x-codex-installation-id` passed in via the
`client_metadata` field for analytics/debugging.
The main pieces are:
- persist a UUID in `$CODEX_HOME/installation_id`
- thread the installation ID into `ModelClient`
- send it in `client_metadata` on Responses requests so it works
consistently across HTTP and WebSocket transports
Addresses #16421
Problem: Resumed interactive sessions exited before new token usage
skipped all footer lines, hiding the `codex resume` continuation
command.
It's not clear whether this was an intentional design choice, but I
think it's reasonable to expect this message under these circumstances.
Solution: Compose token usage and resume hints independently so
resumable sessions still print the continuation command with zero usage.
Addresses #15527
Problem: Nested `codex exec` commands could source a shell snapshot that
re-exported the parent `CODEX_THREAD_ID`, so commands inside the nested
session were attributed to the wrong thread.
Solution: Reapply the live command env's `CODEX_THREAD_ID` after
sourcing the snapshot.
Addresses #15532
Problem: Nested read-only `apply_patch` rejections report in-project
files as outside the project.
Solution: Choose the rejection message based on sandbox mode so
read-only sessions report a read-only-specific reason, and add focused
safety coverage.
Problem: The multi-agent followup interrupt test polled history before
interrupt cleanup and mailbox wakeup were guaranteed to settle, which
made it flaky under CI scheduling variance.
Solution: Wait for the child turn's `TurnAborted(Interrupted)` event
before asserting that the redirected assistant envelope is recorded and
no plain user message is left behind.

## Summary
This adds `experimental_network.danger_full_access_denylist_only` for
orgs that want yolo / danger-full-access sessions to keep full network
access while still enforcing centrally managed deny rules.
When the flag is true and the session sandbox is `danger-full-access`,
the network proxy starts with:
- domain allowlist set to `*`
- managed domain `deny` entries enforced
- upstream proxy use allowed
- all Unix sockets allowed
- local/private binding allowed
Caveat: the denylist is best effort only. In yolo / danger-full-access
mode, Codex or the model can use an allowed socket or other
local/private network path to bypass the proxy denylist, so this should
not be treated as a hard security boundary.
The flag is intentionally scoped to `SandboxPolicy::DangerFullAccess`.
Read-only and workspace-write modes keep the existing managed/user
allowlist, denylist, Unix socket, and local-binding behavior. This does
not enable the non-loopback proxy listener setting; that still requires
its own explicit config.
This also threads the new field through config requirements parsing,
app-server protocol/schema output, config API mapping, and the TUI debug
config output.
## How to use
Add the flag under `[experimental_network]` in the network policy config
that is delivered to Codex. The setting is not under `[permissions]`.
```toml
[experimental_network]
enabled = true
danger_full_access_denylist_only = true
[experimental_network.domains]
"blocked.example.com" = "deny"
"*.blocked.example.com" = "deny"
```
With that configuration, yolo / danger-full-access sessions get broad
network access except for the managed denied domains above. The denylist
remains a best-effort proxy policy because the session may still use
allowed sockets to bypass it. Other sandbox modes do not get the
wildcard domain allowlist or the socket/local-binding relaxations from
this flag.
