Problem: PR #17372 moved initialized request handling into
`dispatch_initialized_client_request`, leaving analytics code that uses
`connection_id` without a local binding and breaking `codex-app-server`
builds.
Solution: Restore the `connection_id` binding from
`connection_request_id` before initialized request validation and
analytics tracking.
## Summary
- Refactors `MessageProcessor` and per-connection session state so
initialized service RPC handling can be moved into spawned tasks in a
follow-up PR.
- Shares the processor and initialized session data with
`Arc`/`OnceLock` instead of mutable borrowed connection state.
- Keeps initialized request handling synchronous in this PR; it does
**not** call `tokio::spawn` for service RPCs yet.
## Testing
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server` *(fails on existing hardening gaps
covered by #17375, #17376, and #17377; the pipelined config regression
passed before the unrelated failures)*
- `just fix -p codex-app-server`
Extract a shared helper that builds AuthManager from Config and applies
the forced ChatGPT workspace override in one place.
Create the shared AuthManager at MessageProcessor call sites so that
upcoming new transport's initialization can reuse the same handle, and
keep only external auth refresher wiring inside `MessageProcessor`.
Remove the now-unused `AuthManager::shared_with_external_auth` helper.
Stacked on #16508.
This removes the temporary `codex-core` / `codex-login` re-export shims
from the ownership split and rewrites callsites to import directly from
`codex-model-provider-info`, `codex-models-manager`, `codex-api`,
`codex-protocol`, `codex-feedback`, and `codex-response-debug-context`.
No behavior change intended; this is the mechanical import cleanup layer
split out from the ownership move.

## Why
`codex-core` was re-exporting APIs owned by sibling `codex-*` crates,
which made downstream crates depend on `codex-core` as a proxy module
instead of the actual owner crate.
Removing those forwards makes crate boundaries explicit and lets leaf
crates drop unnecessary `codex-core` dependencies. In this PR, this
reduces the dependency on `codex-core` to `codex-login` in the following
files:
```
codex-rs/backend-client/Cargo.toml
codex-rs/mcp-server/tests/common/Cargo.toml
```
## What
- Remove `codex-rs/core/src/lib.rs` re-exports for symbols owned by
`codex-login`, `codex-mcp`, `codex-rollout`, `codex-analytics`,
`codex-protocol`, `codex-shell-command`, `codex-sandboxing`,
`codex-tools`, and `codex-utils-path`.
- Delete the `default_client` forwarding shim in `codex-rs/core`.
- Update in-crate and downstream callsites to import directly from the
owning `codex-*` crate.
- Add direct Cargo dependencies where callsites now target the owner
crate, and remove `codex-core` from `codex-rs/backend-client`.
## Summary
- Replace the separate external auth enum and refresher trait with a
single `ExternalAuth` trait in login auth flow
- Move bearer token auth behind `BearerTokenRefresher` and update
`AuthManager` and app-server wiring to use the generic external auth API
## Summary
`AuthManager` and `UnauthorizedRecovery` already own token resolution
and staged `401` recovery. The missing piece for provider auth was a
bearer-only mode that still fit that design, instead of pushing a second
auth abstraction into `codex-core`.
This PR keeps the design centered on `AuthManager`: it teaches
`codex-login` how to own external bearer auth directly so later provider
work can keep calling `AuthManager.auth()` and `UnauthorizedRecovery`.
## Motivation
This is the middle layer for #15189.
The intended design is still:
- `AuthManager` encapsulates token storage and refresh
- `UnauthorizedRecovery` powers staged `401` recovery
- all request tokens go through `AuthManager.auth()`
This PR makes that possible for provider-backed bearer tokens by adding
a bearer-only auth mode inside `AuthManager` instead of building
parallel request-auth plumbing in `core`.
## What Changed
- move `ModelProviderAuthInfo` into `codex-protocol` so `core` and
`login` share one config shape
- add `login/src/auth/external_bearer.rs`, which runs the configured
command, caches the bearer token in memory, and refreshes it after `401`
- add `AuthManager::external_bearer_only(...)` for provider-scoped
request paths that should use command-backed bearer auth without
mutating the shared OpenAI auth manager
- add `AuthManager::shared_with_external_chatgpt_auth_refresher(...)`
and rename the other `AuthManager` helpers that only apply to external
ChatGPT auth so the ChatGPT-only path is explicit at the call site
- keep external ChatGPT refresh behavior unchanged while ensuring
bearer-only external auth never persists to `auth.json`
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-login`
- `cargo test -p codex-protocol`

* __->__ #16287
## Summary
`ExternalAuthRefresher` was still shaped around external ChatGPT auth:
`ExternalAuthTokens` always implied ChatGPT account metadata even when a
caller only needed a bearer token.
This PR generalizes that contract so bearer-only sources are
first-class, while keeping the existing ChatGPT paths strict anywhere we
persist or rebuild ChatGPT auth state.
## Motivation
This is the first step toward #15189.
The follow-on provider-auth work needs one shared external-auth contract
that can do both of these things:
- resolve the current bearer token before a request is sent
- return a refreshed bearer token after a `401`
That should not require a second token result type just because there is
no ChatGPT account metadata attached.
## What Changed
- change `ExternalAuthTokens` to carry `access_token` plus optional
`ExternalAuthChatgptMetadata`
- add helper constructors for bearer-only tokens and ChatGPT-backed
tokens
- add `ExternalAuthRefresher::resolve()` with a default no-op
implementation so refreshers can optionally provide the current token
before a request is sent
- keep ChatGPT-only persistence strict by continuing to require ChatGPT
metadata anywhere the login layer seeds or reloads ChatGPT auth state
- update the app-server bridge to construct the new token shape for
external ChatGPT auth refreshes
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-login`

This is the part 1 of 2 PRs that will delete the `tui` /
`tui_app_server` split. This part simply deletes the existing `tui`
directory and marks the `tui_app_server` feature flag as removed. I left
the `tui_app_server` feature flag in place for now so its presence
doesn't result in an error. It is simply ignored.
Part 2 will rename the `tui_app_server` directory `tui`. I did this as
two parts to reduce visible code churn.
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
- move the analytics events client into codex-analytics
- update codex-core and app-server callsites to use the new crate

### 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
## Summary
Fixes slow `Ctrl+C` exit from the ChatGPT browser-login screen in
`tui_app_server`.
## Root cause
Onboarding-level `Ctrl+C` quit bypassed the auth widget's cancel path.
That let the active ChatGPT login keep running, and in-process
app-server shutdown then waited on the stale login attempt before
finishing.
## Changes
- Extract a shared `cancel_active_attempt()` path in the auth widget
- Use that path from onboarding-level `Ctrl+C` before exiting the TUI
- Add focused tests for canceling browser-login and device-code attempts
- Add app-server shutdown cleanup that explicitly drops any active login
before draining background work
This PR completes the conversion of non-interactive `codex exec` to use
app server rather than directly using core events and methods.
### Summary
- move `codex-exec` off exec-owned `AuthManager` and `ThreadManager`
state
- route exec bootstrap, resume, and auth refresh through existing
app-server paths
- replace legacy `codex/event/*` decoding in exec with typed app-server
notification handling
- update human and JSONL exec output adapters to translate existing
app-server notifications only
- clean up "app server client" layer by eliminating support for legacy
notifications; this is no longer needed
- remove exposure of `authManager` and `threadManager` from "app server
client" layer
### Testing
- `exec` has pretty extensive unit and integration tests already, and
these all pass
- In addition, I asked Codex to put together a comprehensive manual set
of tests to cover all of the `codex exec` functionality (including
command-line options), and it successfully generated and ran these tests
## Summary
- make app-server treat `clientInfo.name == "codex-tui"` as a legacy
compatibility case
- fall back to `DEFAULT_ORIGINATOR` instead of sending `codex-tui` as
the originator header
- add a TODO noting this is a temporary workaround that should be
removed later
## Testing
- Not run (not requested)
- Split the feature system into a new `codex-features` crate.
- Cut `codex-core` and workspace consumers over to the new config and
warning APIs.

1. Use requirement-resolved config.features as the plugin gate.
2. Guard plugin/list, plugin/read, and related flows behind that gate.
3. Skip bad marketplace.json files instead of failing the whole list.
4. Simplify plugin state and caching.
Adds an environment crate and environment + file system abstraction.
Environment is a combination of attributes and services specific to
environment the agent is connected to:
File system, process management, OS, default shell.
The goal is to move most of agent logic that assumes environment to work
through the environment abstraction.
## Why
Once the repo-local lint exists, `codex-rs` needs to follow the
checked-in convention and CI needs to keep it from drifting. This commit
applies the fallback `/*param*/` style consistently across existing
positional literal call sites without changing those APIs.
The longer-term preference is still to avoid APIs that require comments
by choosing clearer parameter types and call shapes. This PR is
intentionally the mechanical follow-through for the places where the
existing signatures stay in place.
After rebasing onto newer `main`, the rollout also had to cover newly
introduced `tui_app_server` call sites. That made it clear the first cut
of the CI job was too expensive for the common path: it was spending
almost as much time installing `cargo-dylint` and re-testing the lint
crate as a representative test job spends running product tests. The CI
update keeps the full workspace enforcement but trims that extra
overhead from ordinary `codex-rs` PRs.
## What changed
- keep a dedicated `argument_comment_lint` job in `rust-ci`
- mechanically annotate remaining opaque positional literals across
`codex-rs` with exact `/*param*/` comments, including the rebased
`tui_app_server` call sites that now fall under the lint
- keep the checked-in style aligned with the lint policy by using
`/*param*/` and leaving string and char literals uncommented
- cache `cargo-dylint`, `dylint-link`, and the relevant Cargo
registry/git metadata in the lint job
- split changed-path detection so the lint crate's own `cargo test` step
runs only when `tools/argument-comment-lint/*` or `rust-ci.yml` changes
- continue to run the repo wrapper over the `codex-rs` workspace, so
product-code enforcement is unchanged
Most of the code changes in this commit are intentionally mechanical
comment rewrites or insertions driven by the lint itself.
## Verification
- `./tools/argument-comment-lint/run.sh --workspace`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui-app-server -p codex-tui`
- parsed `.github/workflows/rust-ci.yml` locally with PyYAML

* -> #14652
* #14651
The issue was due to a circular `Drop` schema where the embedded
app-server wait for some listeners that wait for this app-server
them-selves.
The fix is an explicit cleaning
**Repro:**
* Start codex
* Ask it to spawn a sub-agent
* Close Codex
* It takes 5s to exit
Add a protocol-level filesystem surface to the v2 app-server so Codex
clients can read and write files, inspect directories, and subscribe to
path changes without relying on host-specific helpers.
High-level changes:
- define the new v2 fs/readFile, fs/writeFile, fs/createDirectory,
fs/getMetadata, fs/readDirectory, fs/remove, fs/copy RPCs
- implement the app-server handlers, including absolute-path validation,
base64 file payloads, recursive copy/remove semantics
- document the API, regenerate protocol schemas/types, and add
end-to-end tests for filesystem operations, copy edge cases
Testing plan:
- validate protocol serialization and generated schema output for the
new fs request, response, and notification types
- run app-server integration coverage for file and directory CRUD paths,
metadata/readDirectory responses, copy failure modes, and absolute-path
validation
This PR is part of the effort to move the TUI on top of the app server.
In a previous PR, we introduced an in-process app server and moved
`exec` on top of it.
For the TUI, we want to do the migration in stages. The app server
doesn't currently expose all of the functionality required by the TUI,
so we're going to need to support a hybrid approach as we make the
transition.
This PR changes the TUI initialization to instantiate an in-process app
server and access its `AuthManager` and `ThreadManager` rather than
constructing its own copies. It also adds a placeholder TUI event
handler that will eventually translate app server events into TUI
events. App server notifications are accepted but ignored for now. It
also adds proper shutdown of the app server when the TUI terminates.
## Summary
This PR keeps app-server RPC request trace context alive for the full
lifetime of the work that request kicks off (e.g. for `thread/start`,
this is `app-server rpc handler -> tokio background task -> core op
submissions`). Previously we lose trace lineage once the request handler
returns or hands work off to background tasks.
This approach is especially relevant for `thread/start` and other RPC
handlers that run in a non-blocking way. In the near future we'll most
likely want to make all app-server handlers run in a non-blocking way by
default, and only queue operations that must operate in order (e.g.
thread RPCs per thread?), so we want to make sure tracing in app-server
just generally works.

## What changed
- Keep request-scoped trace context around until we send the final
response or error, or the connection closes.
- Thread that trace context through detached `thread/start` work so
background startup stays attached to the originating request.
- Pass request trace context through to downstream core operations,
including:
- thread creation
- resume/fork flows
- turn submission
- review
- interrupt
- realtime conversation operations
- Add tracing tests that verify:
- remote W3C trace context is preserved for `thread/start`
- remote W3C trace context is preserved for `turn/start`
- downstream core spans stay under the originating request span
- request-scoped tracing state is cleaned up correctly
- Clean up shutdown behavior so detached background tasks and spawned
threads are drained before process exit.
## What changed
- `app-server` now sends initialize notifications to the specific
websocket connection before that connection is marked outbound-ready.
- `message_processor` now exposes the forwarding hook needed to target
that initialize delivery path.
## Why this fixes the flake
- This was a real websocket ordering bug.
- The old code allowed “connection is ready for outbound broadcasts” to
become true before the initialize notification had been routed to the
intended client.
- On CI this showed up as a race where tests would occasionally miss or
misorder initialize delivery depending on scheduler timing.
- Sending initialize to the exact connection first, then exposing it to
the general outbound path, removes that race instead of hiding it with
timing slack.
## Scope
- Production logic change.
This is a subset of PR #13636. See that PR for a full overview of the
architectural change.
This PR implements the in-process app server and modifies the
non-interactive "exec" entry point to use the app server.
