377ab0c77c feat: refactor CodexAuth so invalid state cannot be represented (#10208)
Previously, `CodexAuth` was defined as follows:


d550fbf41a/codex-rs/core/src/auth.rs (L39-L46)

But if you looked at its constructors, we had creation for
`AuthMode::ApiKey` where `storage` was built using a nonsensical path
(`PathBuf::new()`) and `auth_dot_json` was `None`:


d550fbf41a/codex-rs/core/src/auth.rs (L212-L220)

By comparison, when `AuthMode::ChatGPT` was used, `api_key` was always
`None`:


d550fbf41a/codex-rs/core/src/auth.rs (L665-L671)

https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/10012 took things further because
it introduced a new `ChatgptAuthTokens` variant to `AuthMode`, which is
important in when invoking `account/login/start` via the app server, but
most logic _internal_ to the app server should just reason about two
`AuthMode` variants: `ApiKey` and `ChatGPT`.

This PR tries to clean things up as follows:

- `LoginAccountParams` and `AuthMode` in `codex-rs/app-server-protocol/`
both continue to have the `ChatgptAuthTokens` variant, though it is used
exclusively for the on-the-wire messaging.
- `codex-rs/core/src/auth.rs` now has its own `AuthMode` enum, which
only has two variants: `ApiKey` and `ChatGPT`.
- `CodexAuth` has been changed from a struct to an enum. It is a
disjoint union where each variant (`ApiKey`, `ChatGpt`, and
`ChatGptAuthTokens`) have only the associated fields that make sense for
that variant.

1ef5455eb6 Conversation naming (#8991)
Session renaming:
- `/rename my_session`
- `/rename` without arg and passing an argument in `customViewPrompt`
- AppExitInfo shows resume hint using the session name if set instead of
uuid, defaults to uuid if not set
- Names are stored in `CODEX_HOME/sessions.jsonl`

Session resuming:
- codex resume <name> lookup for `CODEX_HOME/sessions.jsonl` first entry
matching the name and resumes the session

81a17bb2c1 feat(app-server): support external auth mode (#10012)
This enables a new use case where `codex app-server` is embedded into a
parent application that will directly own the user's ChatGPT auth
lifecycle, which means it owns the user’s auth tokens and refreshes it
when necessary. The parent application would just want a way to pass in
the auth tokens for codex to use directly.

The idea is that we are introducing a new "auth mode" currently only
exposed via app server: **`chatgptAuthTokens`** which consist of the
`id_token` (stores account metadata) and `access_token` (the bearer
token used directly for backend API calls). These auth tokens are only
stored in-memory. This new mode is in addition to the existing `apiKey`
and `chatgpt` auth modes.

This PR reuses the shape of our existing app-server account APIs as much
as possible:
- Update `account/login/start` with a new `chatgptAuthTokens` variant,
which will allow the client to pass in the tokens and have codex
app-server use them directly. Upon success, the server emits
`account/login/completed` and `account/updated` notifications.
- A new server->client request called
`account/chatgptAuthTokens/refresh` which the server can use whenever
the access token previously passed in has expired and it needs a new one
from the parent application.

I leveraged the core 401 retry loop which typically triggers auth token
refreshes automatically, but made it pluggable:
- **chatgpt** mode refreshes internally, as usual.
- **chatgptAuthTokens** mode calls the client via
`account/chatgptAuthTokens/refresh`, the client responds with updated
tokens, codex updates its in-memory auth, then retries. This RPC has a
10s timeout and handles JSON-RPC errors from the client.

Also some additional things:
- chatgpt logins are blocked while external auth is active (have to log
out first. typically clients will pick one OR the other, not support
both)
- `account/logout` clears external auth in memory
- Ensures that if `forced_chatgpt_workspace_id` is set via the user's
config, we respect it in both:
- `account/login/start` with `chatgptAuthTokens` (returns a JSON-RPC
error back to the client)
- `account/chatgptAuthTokens/refresh` (fails the turn, and on next
request app-server will send another `account/chatgptAuthTokens/refresh`
request to the client).

bdc4742bfc Add MCP server scopes config and use it as fallback for OAuth login (#9647)
### Motivation
- Allow MCP OAuth flows to request scopes defined in `config.toml`
instead of requiring users to always pass `--scopes` on the CLI.
CLI/remote parameters should still override config values.

### Description
- Add optional `scopes: Option<Vec<String>>` to `McpServerConfig` and
`RawMcpServerConfig`, and propagate it through deserialization and the
built config types.
- Serialize `scopes` into the MCP server TOML via
`serialize_mcp_server_table` in `core/src/config/edit.rs` and include
`scopes` in the generated config schema (`core/config.schema.json`).
- CLI: update `codex-rs/cli/src/mcp_cmd.rs` `run_login` to fall back to
`server.scopes` when the `--scopes` flag is empty, with explicit CLI
scopes still taking precedence.
- App server: update
`codex-rs/app-server/src/codex_message_processor.rs`
`mcp_server_oauth_login` to use `params.scopes.or_else(||
server.scopes.clone())` so the RPC path also respects configured scopes.
- Update many test fixtures to initialize the new `scopes` field (set to
`None`) so test code builds with the new struct field.

### Testing
- Ran config tooling and formatters: `just write-config-schema`
(succeeded), `just fmt` (succeeded), and `just fix -p codex-core`, `just
fix -p codex-cli`, `just fix -p codex-app-server` (succeeded where
applicable).
- Ran unit tests for the CLI: `cargo test -p codex-cli` (passed).
- Ran unit tests for core: `cargo test -p codex-core` (ran; many tests
passed but several failed, including model refresh/403-related tests,
shell snapshot/timeouts, and several `unified_exec` expectations).
- Ran app-server tests: `cargo test -p codex-app-server` (ran; many
integration-suite tests failed due to mocked/remote HTTP 401/403
responses and wiremock expectations).

If you want, I can split the tests into smaller focused runs or help
debug the failing integration tests (they appear to be unrelated to the
config change and stem from external HTTP/mocking behaviors encountered
during the test runs).

62266b13f8 Add thread/unarchive to restore archived rollouts (#9843)
## Summary
- Adds a new `thread/unarchive` RPC to move archived thread rollouts
back into the active `sessions/` tree.

## What changed
- **Protocol**
  - Adds `thread/unarchive` request/response types and wiring.
- **Server**
  - Implements `thread_unarchive` in the app server.
  - Validates the archived rollout path and thread ID.
- Restores the rollout to `sessions/YYYY/MM/DD/...` based on the rollout
filename timestamp.
- **Core**
- Adds `find_archived_thread_path_by_id_str` helper for archived
rollouts.
- **Docs**
  - Documents the new RPC and usage example.
- **Tests**
  - Adds an end-to-end server test that:
    1) starts a thread,
    2) archives it,
    3) unarchives it,
    4) asserts the file is restored to `sessions/`.

## How to use
```json
{ "method": "thread/unarchive", "id": 24, "params": { "threadId": "<thread-id>" } }
```

d594693d1a feat: dynamic tools injection (#9539)
## Summary
Add dynamic tool injection to thread startup in API v2, wire dynamic
tool calls through the app server to clients, and plumb responses back
into the model tool pipeline.

### Flow (high level)
- Thread start injects `dynamic_tools` into the model tool list for that
thread (validation is done here).
- When the model emits a tool call for one of those names, core raises a
`DynamicToolCallRequest` event.
- The app server forwards it to the client as `item/tool/call`, waits
for the client’s response, then submits a `DynamicToolResponse` back to
core.
- Core turns that into a `function_call_output` in the next model
request so the model can continue.

### What changed
- Added dynamic tool specs to v2 thread start params and protocol types;
introduced `item/tool/call` (request/response) for dynamic tool
execution.
- Core now registers dynamic tool specs at request time and routes those
calls via a new dynamic tool handler.
- App server validates tool names/schemas, forwards dynamic tool call
requests to clients, and publishes tool outputs back into the session.
- Integration tests

2b1ee24e11 feat(app-server) Expose personality (#9674)
### Motivation
Exposes a per-thread / per-turn `personality` override in the v2
app-server API so clients can influence model communication style at
thread/turn start. Ensures the override is passed into the session
configuration resolution so it becomes effective for subsequent turns
and headless runners.

### Testing
- [x] Add an integration-style test
`turn_start_accepts_personality_override_v2` in
`codex-rs/app-server/tests/suite/v2/turn_start.rs` that verifies a
`/personality` override results in a developer update message containing
`<personality_spec>` in the outbound model request.

a2c829a808 [connectors] Support connectors part 1 - App server & MCP (#9667)
In order to make Codex work with connectors, we add a built-in gateway
MCP that acts as a transparent proxy between the client and the
connectors. The gateway MCP collects actions that are accessible to the
user and sends them down to the user, when a connector action is chosen
to be called, the client invokes the action through the gateway MCP as
well.

2ca9a56528 Add layered config.toml support to app server (#9510)
This PR adds support for chained (layered) config.toml file merging for
clients that use the app server interface. This feature already exists
for the TUI, but it does not work for GUI clients.

It does the following:
* Changes code paths for new thread, resume thread, and fork thread to
use the effective config based on the cwd.
* Updates the `config/read` API to accept an optional `cwd` parameter.
If specified, the API returns the effective config based on that cwd
path. Also optionally includes all layers including project config
files. If cwd is not specified, the API falls back on its older behavior
where it considers only the global (non-project) config files when
computing the effective config.

The changes in codex_message_processor.rs look deceptively large. They
mostly just involve moving existing blocks of code to a later point in
some functions so it can use the cwd to calculate the config.

This PR builds upon #9509 and should be reviewed and merged after that
PR.

Tested:
* Verified change with (dependent, as-yet-uncommitted) changes to IDE
Extension and confirmed correct behavior

The full fix requires additional changes in the IDE Extension code base,
but they depend on this PR.

80d7a5d7fe chore(instructions) Remove unread SessionMeta.instructions field (#9423)
### Description
- Remove the now-unused `instructions` field from the session metadata
to simplify SessionMeta and stop propagating transient instruction text
through the rollout recorder API. This was only saving
user_instructions, and was never being read.
- Stop passing user instructions into the rollout writer at session
creation so the rollout header only contains canonical session metadata.

### Testing

- Ran `just fmt` which completed successfully.
- Ran `just fix -p codex-protocol`, `just fix -p codex-core`, `just fix
-p codex-app-server`, `just fix -p codex-tui`, and `just fix -p
codex-tui2` which completed (Clippy fixes applied) as part of
verification.
- Ran `cargo test -p codex-protocol` which passed (28 tests).
- Ran `cargo test -p codex-core` which showed failures in a small set of
tests (not caused by the protocol type change directly):
`default_client::tests::test_create_client_sets_default_headers`,
several `models_manager::manager::tests::refresh_available_models_*`,
and `shell_snapshot::tests::linux_sh_snapshot_includes_sections` (these
tests failed in this CI run).
- Ran `cargo test -p codex-app-server` which reported several failing
integration tests (including
`suite::codex_message_processor_flow::test_codex_jsonrpc_conversation_flow`,
`suite::output_schema::send_user_turn_*`, and
`suite::user_agent::get_user_agent_returns_current_codex_user_agent`).
- `cargo test -p codex-tui` and `cargo test -p codex-tui2` were
attempted but aborted due to disk space exhaustion (`No space left on
device`).

f1653dd4d3 feat(app-server, core): return threads by created_at or updated_at (#9247)
Add support for returning threads by either `created_at` OR `updated_at`
descending. Previously core always returned threads ordered by
`created_at`.

This PR:
- updates core to be able to list threads by `updated_at` OR
`created_at` descending based on what the caller wants
- also update `thread/list` in app-server to expose this (default to
`created_at` if not specified)

All existing codepaths (app-server, TUI) still default to `created_at`,
so no behavior change is expected with this PR.

**Implementation**
To sort by `updated_at` is a bit nontrivial (whereas `created_at` is
easy due to the way we structure the folders and filenames on disk,
which are all based on `created_at`).

The most naive way to do this without introducing a cache file or sqlite
DB (which we have to implement/maintain) is to scan files in reverse
`created_at` order on disk, and look at the file's mtime (last modified
timestamp according to the filesystem) until we reach `MAX_SCAN_FILES`
(currently set to 10,000). Then, we can return the most recent N
threads.

Based on some quick and dirty benchmarking on my machine with ~1000
rollout files, calling `thread/list` with limit 50, the `updated_at`
path is slower as expected due to all the I/O:
- updated-at: average 103.10 ms
- created-at: average 41.10 ms

Those absolute numbers aren't a big deal IMO, but we can certainly
optimize this in a followup if needed by introducing more state stored
on disk.

**Caveat**
There's also a limitation in that any files older than `MAX_SCAN_FILES`
will be excluded, which means if a user continues a REALLY old thread,
it's possible to not be included. In practice that should not be too big
of an issue.

If a user makes...
- 1000 rollouts/day → threads older than 10 days won't show up
- 100 rollouts/day → ~100 days

If this becomes a problem for some reason, even more motivation to
implement an updated_at cache.

1fa8350ae7 Add text element metadata to protocol, app server, and core (#9331)
The second part of breaking up PR
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/9116

Summary:

- Add `TextElement` / `ByteRange` to protocol user inputs and user
message events with defaults.
- Thread `text_elements` through app-server v1/v2 request handling and
history rebuild.
- Preserve UI metadata only in user input/events (not `ContentItem`)
while keeping local image attachments in user events for rehydration.

Details:

- Protocol: `UserInput::Text` carries `text_elements`;
`UserMessageEvent` carries `text_elements` + `local_images`.
Serialization includes empty vectors for backward compatibility.
- app-server-protocol: v1 defines `V1TextElement` / `V1ByteRange` in
camelCase with conversions; v2 uses its own camelCase wrapper.
- app-server: v1/v2 input mapping includes `text_elements`; thread
history rebuilds include them.
- Core: user event emission preserves UI metadata while model history
stays clean; history replay round-trips the metadata.

2651980bdf Restrict MCP servers from requirements.toml (#9101)
Enterprises want to restrict the MCP servers their users can use.

Admins can now specify an allowlist of MCPs in `requirements.toml`. The
MCP servers are matched on both Name and Transport (local path or HTTP
URL) -- both must match to allow the MCP server. This prevents
circumventing the allowlist by renaming MCP servers in user config. (It
is still possible to replace the local path e.g. rewrite say
`/usr/local/github-mcp` with a nefarious MCP. We could allow hash
pinning in the future, but that would break updates. I also think this
represents a broader, out-of-scope problem.)

We introduce a new field to Constrained: "normalizer". In general, it is
a fn(T) -> T and applies when `Constrained<T>.set()` is called. In this
particular case, it disables MCP servers which do not match the
allowlist. An alternative solution would remove this and instead throw a
ConstraintError. That would stop Codex launching if any MCP server was
configured which didn't match. I think this is bad.

We currently reuse the enabled flag on MCP servers to disable them, but
don't propagate any information about why they are disabled. I'd like to
add that in a follow up PR, possibly by switching out enabled with an
enum.

3e91a95ce1 feat: hot reload mcp servers (#8957)
### Summary
* Added `mcpServer/refresh` command to inform app servers and active
threads to refresh mcpServer on next turn event.
* Added `pending_mcp_server_refresh_config` to codex core so that if the
value is populated, we reinitialize the mcp server manager on the thread
level.
* The config is updated on `mcpServer/refresh` command which we iterate
through threads and provide with the latest config value after last
write.

d5562983d9 Add static mcp callback uri support (#8971)
Currently the callback URI for MCP authentication is dynamically
generated. More specifically, the callback URI is dynamic because the
port part of it is randomly chosen by the OS. This is not ideal as
callback URIs are recommended to be static and many authorization
servers do not support dynamic callback URIs.

This PR fixes that issue by exposing a new config option named
`mcp_oauth_callback_port`. When it is set, the callback URI is
constructed using this port rather than a random one chosen by the OS,
thereby making callback URI static.

5b5a5b92b5 Add config to disable /feedback (#8909)
Some enterprises do not want their users to be able to `/feedback`.

<img width="395" height="325" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/2dae9c0b-20c3-4a15-bcd3-0187857ebbd8"
/>

Adds to `config.toml`:

```toml
[feedback]
enabled = false
```

I've deliberately decided to:
1. leave other references to `/feedback` (e.g. in the interrupt message,
tips of the day) unchanged. I think we should continue to promote the
feature even if it is not usable currently.
2. leave the `/feedback` menu item selectable and display an error
saying it's disabled, rather than remove the menu item (which I believe
would raise more questions).

but happy to discuss these.

This will be followed by a change to requirements.toml that admins can
use to force the value of feedback.enabled.

634764ece9 Immutable CodexAuth (#8857)
Historically we started with a CodexAuth that knew how to refresh it's
own tokens and then added AuthManager that did a different kind of
refresh (re-reading from disk).

I don't think it makes sense for both `CodexAuth` and `AuthManager` to
be mutable and contain behaviors.

Move all refresh logic into `AuthManager` and keep `CodexAuth` as a data
object.

11d4f3f45e [app-server] fix config loading for conversations (#8765)
Currently we don't load config properly for app server conversations.
see:
https://linear.app/openai/issue/CODEX-3956/config-flags-not-respected-in-codex-app-server.
This PR fixes that by respecting the config passed in.

Tested by running `cargo build -p codex-cli &&
RUST_LOG=codex_app_server=debug CODEX_BIN=target/debug/codex cargo run
-p codex-app-server-test-client -- \
--config
model_providers.mock_provider.base_url=\"http://localhost:4010/v2\" \
    --config model_provider=\"mock_provider\" \
    --config model_providers.mock_provider.name="hello" \
    send-message-v2 "hello"`
and verified that the mock_provider is called instead of default
provider.

#closes

8b7ec31ba7 feat(app-server): thread/rollback API (#8454)
Add `thread/rollback` to app-server to support IDEs undo-ing the last N
turns of a thread.

For context, an IDE partner will be supporting an "undo" capability
where the IDE (the app-server client) will be responsible for reverting
the local changes made during the last turn. To support this well, we
also need a way to drop the last turn (or more generally, the last N
turns) from the agent's context. This is what `thread/rollback` does.

**Core idea**: A Thread rollback is represented as a persisted event
message (EventMsg::ThreadRollback) in the rollout JSONL file, not by
rewriting history. On resume, both the model's context (core replay) and
the UI turn list (app-server v2's thread history builder) apply these
markers so the pruned history is consistent across live conversations
and `thread/resume`.

Implementation notes:
- Rollback only affects agent context and appends to the rollout file;
clients are responsible for reverting files on disk.
- If a thread rollback is currently in progress, subsequent
`thread/rollback` calls are rejected.
- Because we use `CodexConversation::submit` and codex core tracks
active turns, returning an error on concurrent rollbacks is communicated
via an `EventMsg::Error` with a new variant
`CodexErrorInfo::ThreadRollbackFailed`. app-server watches for that and
sends the BAD_REQUEST RPC response.

Tests cover thread rollbacks in both core and app-server, including when
`num_turns` > existing turns (which clears all turns).

**Note**: this explicitly does **not** behave like `/undo` which we just
removed from the CLI, which does the opposite of what `thread/rollback`
does. `/undo` reverts local changes via ghost commits/snapshots and does
not modify the agent's context / conversation history.

807f8a43c2 feat: expose outputSchema to user_turn/turn_start app_server API (#8377)
What changed
- Added `outputSchema` support to the app-server APIs, mirroring `codex
exec --output-schema` behavior.
- V1 `sendUserTurn` now accepts `outputSchema` and constrains the final
assistant message for that turn.
- V2 `turn/start` now accepts `outputSchema` and constrains the final
assistant message for that turn (explicitly per-turn only).

Core behavior
- `Op::UserTurn` already supported `final_output_json_schema`; now V1
`sendUserTurn` forwards `outputSchema` into that field.
- `Op::UserInput` now carries `final_output_json_schema` for per-turn
settings updates; core maps it into
`SessionSettingsUpdate.final_output_json_schema` so it applies to the
created turn context.
- V2 `turn/start` does NOT persist the schema via `OverrideTurnContext`
(it’s applied only for the current turn). Other overrides
(cwd/model/etc) keep their existing persistent behavior.

API / docs
- `codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol/v1.rs`: add `output_schema:
Option<serde_json::Value>` to `SendUserTurnParams` (serialized as
`outputSchema`).
- `codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol/v2.rs`: add `output_schema:
Option<JsonValue>` to `TurnStartParams` (serialized as `outputSchema`).
- `codex-rs/app-server/README.md`: document `outputSchema` for
`turn/start` and clarify it applies only to the current turn.
- `codex-rs/docs/codex_mcp_interface.md`: document `outputSchema` for v1
`sendUserTurn` and v2 `turn/start`.

Tests added/updated
- New app-server integration tests asserting `outputSchema` is forwarded
into outbound `/responses` requests as `text.format`:
  - `codex-rs/app-server/tests/suite/output_schema.rs`
  - `codex-rs/app-server/tests/suite/v2/output_schema.rs`
- Added per-turn semantics tests (schema does not leak to the next
turn):
  - `send_user_turn_output_schema_is_per_turn_v1`
  - `turn_start_output_schema_is_per_turn_v2`
- Added protocol wire-compat tests for the merged op:
  - serialize omits `final_output_json_schema` when `None`
  - deserialize works when field is missing
  - serialize includes `final_output_json_schema` when `Some(schema)`

Call site updates (high level)
- Updated all `Op::UserInput { .. }` constructions to include
`final_output_json_schema`:
  - `codex-rs/app-server/src/codex_message_processor.rs`
  - `codex-rs/core/src/codex_delegate.rs`
  - `codex-rs/mcp-server/src/codex_tool_runner.rs`
  - `codex-rs/tui/src/chatwidget.rs`
  - `codex-rs/tui2/src/chatwidget.rs`
  - plus impacted core tests.

Validation
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-core`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server`
- `cargo test -p codex-mcp-server`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui2`
- `cargo test -p codex-protocol`

warnings`

dc61fc5f50 feat: support allowed_sandbox_modes in requirements.toml (#8298)
This adds support for `allowed_sandbox_modes` in `requirements.toml` and
provides legacy support for constraining sandbox modes in
`managed_config.toml`. This is converted to `Constrained<SandboxPolicy>`
in `ConfigRequirements` and applied to `Config` such that constraints
are enforced throughout the harness.

Note that, because `managed_config.toml` is deprecated, we do not add
support for the new `external-sandbox` variant recently introduced in
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/8290. As noted, that variant is not
supported in `config.toml` today, but can be configured programmatically
via app server.

a8797019a1 chore: cleanup Config instantiation codepaths (#8226)
This PR does various types of cleanup before I can proceed with more
ambitious changes to config loading.

First, I noticed duplicated code across these two methods:


774bd9e432/codex-rs/core/src/config/mod.rs (L314-L324)


774bd9e432/codex-rs/core/src/config/mod.rs (L334-L344)

This has now been consolidated in
`load_config_as_toml_with_cli_overrides()`.

Further, I noticed that `Config::load_with_cli_overrides()` took two
similar arguments:


774bd9e432/codex-rs/core/src/config/mod.rs (L308-L311)

The difference between `cli_overrides` and `overrides` was not
immediately obvious to me. At first glance, it appears that one should
be able to be expressed in terms of the other, but it turns out that
some fields of `ConfigOverrides` (such as `cwd` and
`codex_linux_sandbox_exe`) are, by design, not configurable via a
`.toml` file or a command-line `--config` flag.

That said, I discovered that many callers of
`Config::load_with_cli_overrides()` were passing
`ConfigOverrides::default()` for `overrides`, so I created two separate
methods:

- `Config::load_with_cli_overrides(cli_overrides: Vec<(String,
TomlValue)>)`
- `Config::load_with_cli_overrides_and_harness_overrides(cli_overrides:
Vec<(String, TomlValue)>, harness_overrides: ConfigOverrides)`

The latter has a long name, as it is _not_ what should be used in the
common case, so the extra typing is designed to draw attention to this
fact. I tried to update the existing callsites to use the shorter name,
where possible.

Further, in the cases where `ConfigOverrides` is used, usually only a
limited subset of fields are actually set, so I updated the declarations
to leverage `..Default::default()` where possible.
