## Summary
- standardize remote compaction test mocking around one default behavior
in shared helpers
- make default remote compact mocks mirror production shape: keep
`message/user` + `message/developer`, drop assistant/tool artifacts,
then append a summary user message
- switch non-special `compact_remote` tests to the shared default mock
instead of ad-hoc JSON payloads
## Special-case tests that still use explicit mocks
- remote compaction error payload / HTTP failure behavior
- summary-only compact output behavior
- manual `/compact` with no prior user messages
- stale developer-instruction injection coverage
## Why
This removes inconsistent manual remote compaction fixtures and gives us
one source of truth for normal remote compact behavior, while preserving
explicit mocks only where tests intentionally cover non-default
behavior.

With upcoming support for a fork of zsh that allows us to intercept
`execve` and run execpolicy checks for each subcommand as part of a
`CommandExecution`, it will be possible for there to be multiple
approval requests for a shell command like `/path/to/zsh -lc 'git status
&& rg \"TODO\" src && make test'`.
To support that, this PR introduces a new `approval_id` field across
core, protocol, and app-server so that we can associate approvals
properly for subcommands.
### Summary
Ensure that we use the model value from the response header only so that
we are guaranteed with the correct slug name. We are no longer checking
against the model value from response so that we are less likely to have
false positive.
There are two different treatments - for SSE we use the header from the
response and for websocket we check top-level events.
rm `remote_models` feature flag.
We see issues like #11527 when a user has `remote_models` disabled, as
we always use the default fallback `ModelInfo`. This causes issues with
model performance.
Builds on #11690, which helps by warning the user when they are using
the default fallback. This PR will make that happen much less frequently
as an accidental consequence of disabling `remote_models`.

5c75aa7b89 (diff-058ae8f109a8b84b4b79bbfa45f522c2233b9d9e139696044ae374d50b6196e0),
we have created a `model/rerouted` notification that captures the event
so that consumers can render as expected. Keep the `EventMsg::Warning`
path in core so that this does not affect TUI rendering.
`model/rerouted` is meant to be generic to account for future usage
including capacity planning etc.
## Summary
Fixes a few things in our exec_policy handling of prefix_rules:
1. Correctly match redirects specifically for exec_policy parsing. i.e.
if you have `prefix_rule(["echo"], decision="allow")` then `echo hello >
output.txt` should match - this should fix#10321
2. If there already exists any rule that would match our prefix rule
(not just a prompt), then drop it, since it won't do anything.
## Testing
- [x] Updated unit tests, added approvals ScenarioSpecs
Add per-turn notice when a request is downgraded to a fallback model due
to cyber safety checks.
**Changes**
- codex-api: Emit a ServerModel event based on the openai-model response
header and/or response payload (SSE + WebSocket), including when the
model changes mid-stream.
- core: When the server-reported model differs from the requested model,
emit a single per-turn warning explaining the reroute to gpt-5.2 and
directing users to Trusted
Access verification and the cyber safety explainer.
- app-server (v2): Surface these cyber model-routing warnings as
synthetic userMessage items with text prefixed by Warning: (and document
this behavior).
## Summary
This feature is now reasonably stable, let's remove it so we can
simplify our upcoming iterations here.
## Testing
- [x] Existing tests pass
### What changed
1. Removed per-turn MCP selection reset in `core/src/tasks/mod.rs`.
2. Added `SessionState::set_mcp_tool_selection(Vec<String>)` in
`core/src/state/session.rs` for authoritative restore behavior (deduped,
order-preserving, empty clears).
3. Added rollout parsing in `core/src/codex.rs` to recover
`active_selected_tools` from prior `search_tool_bm25` outputs:
- tracks matching `call_id`s
- parses function output text JSON
- extracts `active_selected_tools`
- latest valid payload wins
- malformed/non-matching payloads are ignored
4. Applied restore logic to resumed and forked startup paths in
`core/src/codex.rs`.
5. Updated instruction text to session/thread scope in
`core/templates/search_tool/tool_description.md`.
6. Expanded tests in `core/tests/suite/search_tool.rs`, plus unit
coverage in:
- `core/src/codex.rs`
- `core/src/state/session.rs`
### Behavior after change
1. Search activates matched tools.
2. Additional searches union into active selection.
3. Selection survives new turns in the same thread.
4. Resume/fork restores selection from rollout history.
5. Separate threads do not inherit selection unless forked.
### What
It's currently unclear when the harness falls back to the default,
generic `ModelInfo`. This happens when the `remote_models` feature is
disabled or the model is truly unknown, and can lead to bad performance
and issues in the harness.
Add a user-facing warning when this happens so they are aware when their
setup is broken.
### Tests
Added tests, tested locally.
This PR keeps compaction context-layout test coverage separate from
runtime compaction behavior changes, so runtime logic review can stay
focused.
## Included
- Adds reusable context snapshot helpers in
`core/tests/common/context_snapshot.rs` for rendering model-visible
request/history shapes.
- Standardizes helper naming for readability:
- `format_request_input_snapshot`
- `format_response_items_snapshot`
- `format_labeled_requests_snapshot`
- `format_labeled_items_snapshot`
- Expands snapshot coverage for both local and remote compaction flows:
- pre-turn auto-compaction
- pre-turn failure/context-window-exceeded paths
- mid-turn continuation compaction
- manual `/compact` with and without prior user turns
- Captures both sides where relevant:
- compaction request shape
- post-compaction history layout shape
- Adds/uses shared request-inspection helpers so assertions target
structured request content instead of ad-hoc JSON string parsing.
- Aligns snapshots/assertions to current behavior and leaves explicit
`TODO(ccunningham)` notes where behavior is known and intentionally
deferred.
## Not Included
- No runtime compaction logic changes.
- No model-visible context/state behavior changes.
### Description
#### Summary
Introduces the core plumbing required for structured network approvals
#### What changed
- Added structured network policy decision modeling in core.
- Added approval payload/context types needed for network approval
semantics.
- Wired shell/unified-exec runtime plumbing to consume structured
decisions.
- Updated related core error/event surfaces for structured handling.
- Updated protocol plumbing used by core approval flow.
- Included small CLI debug sandbox compatibility updates needed by this
layer.
#### Why
establishes the minimal backend foundation for network approvals without
yet changing high-level orchestration or TUI behavior.
#### Notes
- Behavior remains constrained by existing requirements/config gating.
- Follow-up PRs in the stack handle orchestration, UX, and app-server
integration.

## Why
`compact_resume_after_second_compaction_preserves_history` has been
intermittently flaky in Windows CI.
The test had two one-shot request matchers in the second compact/resume
phase that could overlap, and it waited for the first `Warning` event
after compaction. In practice, that made the test sensitive to
platform/config-specific prompt shape and unrelated warning timing.
## What Changed
- Hardened the second compaction matcher in
`codex-rs/core/tests/suite/compact_resume_fork.rs` so it accepts
expected compact-request variants while explicitly excluding the
`AFTER_SECOND_RESUME` payload.
- Updated `compact_conversation()` to wait for the specific compaction
warning (`COMPACT_WARNING_MESSAGE`) rather than any `Warning` event.
- Added an inline comment explaining why the matcher is intentionally
broad but disjoint from the follow-up resume matcher.
## Test Plan
- `cargo test -p codex-core --test all
suite::compact_resume_fork::compact_resume_after_second_compaction_preserves_history
-- --exact`
- Repeated the same test in a loop (40 runs) to check for local
nondeterminism.
## Summary
- Limit `search_tool_bm25` indexing to `codex_apps` tools only, so
non-Apps MCP servers are no longer discoverable through this search
path.
- Move search-tool discovery guidance into the `search_tool_bm25` tool
description (via template include) instead of injecting it as a separate
developer message.
- Update Apps discovery guidance wording to clarify when to use
`search_tool_bm25` for Apps-backed systems (for example Slack, Google
Drive, Jira, Notion) and when to call tools directly.
- Remove dead `core` helper code (`filter_codex_apps_mcp_tools` and
`codex_apps_connector_id`) that is no longer used after the
tool-selection refactor.
- Update `core` search-tool tests to assert codex-apps-only behavior and
to validate guidance from the tool description.
## Validation
- ✅ `just fmt`
- ✅ `cargo test -p codex-core search_tool`
- ⚠️ `cargo test -p codex-core` was attempted, but the run repeatedly
stalled on
`tools::js_repl::tests::js_repl_can_attach_image_via_view_image_tool`.
## Tickets

## Summary
This PR delivers the first small, shippable step toward model-visible
state diffing by making
`TurnContextItem` more complete and standardizing how it is built.
Specifically, it:
- Adds persisted network context to `TurnContextItem`.
- Introduces a single canonical `TurnContext -> TurnContextItem`
conversion path.
- Routes existing rollout write sites through that canonical conversion
helper.
No context injection/diff behavior changes are included in this PR.
## Why this change
The design goal is to make `TurnContextItem` the canonical source of
truth for context-diff
decisions.
Before this PR:
- `TurnContextItem` did not include all TurnContext-derived environment
inputs needed for v1
completeness.
- Construction was duplicated at multiple write sites.
This PR addresses both with a minimal, reviewable change.
## Changes
### 1) Extend `TurnContextItem` with network state
- Added `TurnContextNetworkItem { allowed_domains, denied_domains }`.
- Added `network: Option<TurnContextNetworkItem>` to `TurnContextItem`.
- Kept backward compatibility by making the new field optional and
skipped when absent.
Files:
- `codex-rs/protocol/src/protocol.rs`
### 2) Canonical conversion helper
- Added `TurnContext::to_turn_context_item(collaboration_mode)` in core.
- Added internal helper to derive network fields from
`config_layer_stack.requirements().network`.
Files:
- `codex-rs/core/src/codex.rs`
### 3) Use canonical conversion at rollout write sites
- Replaced ad hoc `TurnContextItem { ... }` construction with
`to_turn_context_item(...)` in:
- sampling request path
- compaction path
Files:
- `codex-rs/core/src/codex.rs`
- `codex-rs/core/src/compact.rs`
### 4) Update fixtures/tests for new optional field
- Updated existing `TurnContextItem` literals in tests to include
`network: None`.
- Added protocol tests for:
- deserializing old payloads with no `network`
- serializing when `network` is present
Files:
- `codex-rs/core/tests/suite/resume_warning.rs`
- No replay/diff logic changes.
- Persisted rollout `TurnContextItem` now carries additional network
context when available.
- Older rollout lines without `network` remain readable.
## Why
We currently carry multiple permission-related concepts directly on
`Config` for shell/unified-exec behavior (`approval_policy`,
`sandbox_policy`, `network`, `shell_environment_policy`,
`windows_sandbox_mode`).
Consolidating these into one in-memory struct makes permission handling
easier to reason about and sets up the next step: supporting named
permission profiles (`[permissions.PROFILE_NAME]`) without changing
behavior now.
This change is mostly mechanical: it updates existing callsites to go
through `config.permissions`, but it does not yet refactor those
callsites to take a single `Permissions` value in places where multiple
permission fields are still threaded separately.
This PR intentionally **does not** change the on-disk `config.toml`
format yet and keeps compatibility with legacy config keys.
## What Changed
- Introduced `Permissions` in `core/src/config/mod.rs`.
- Added `Config::permissions` and moved effective runtime permission
fields under it:
- `approval_policy`
- `sandbox_policy`
- `network`
- `shell_environment_policy`
- `windows_sandbox_mode`
- Updated config loading/building so these effective values are still
derived from the same existing config inputs and constraints.
- Updated Windows sandbox helpers/resolution to read/write via
`permissions`.
- Threaded the new field through all permission consumers across core
runtime, app-server, CLI/exec, TUI, and sandbox summary code.
- Updated affected tests to reference `config.permissions.*`.
- Renamed the struct/field from
`EffectivePermissions`/`effective_permissions` to
`Permissions`/`permissions` and aligned variable naming accordingly.
## Verification
- `just fix -p codex-core -p codex-tui -p codex-cli -p codex-app-server
-p codex-exec -p codex-utils-sandbox-summary`
- `cargo build -p codex-core -p codex-tui -p codex-cli -p
codex-app-server -p codex-exec -p codex-utils-sandbox-summary`
## Summary
This PR adds host-integrated helper APIs for `js_repl` and updates model
guidance so the agent can use them reliably.
### What’s included
- Add `codex.tool(name, args?)` in the JS kernel so `js_repl` can call
normal Codex tools.
- Keep persistent JS state and scratch-path helpers available:
- `codex.state`
- `codex.tmpDir`
- Wire `js_repl` tool calls through the standard tool router path.
- Add/align `js_repl` execution completion/end event behavior with
existing tool logging patterns.
- Update dynamic prompt injection (`project_doc`) to document:
- how to call `codex.tool(...)`
- raw output behavior
- image flow via `view_image` (`codex.tmpDir` +
`codex.tool("view_image", ...)`)
- stdio safety guidance (`console.log` / `codex.tool`, avoid direct
`process.std*`)
## Why
- Standardize JS-side tool usage on `codex.tool(...)`
- Make `js_repl` behavior more consistent with existing tool execution
and event/logging patterns.
- Give the model enough runtime guidance to use `js_repl` safely and
effectively.
## Testing
- Added/updated unit and runtime tests for:
- `codex.tool` calls from `js_repl` (including shell/MCP paths)
- image handoff flow via `view_image`
- prompt-injection text for `js_repl` guidance
- execution/end event behavior and related regression coverage

This PR adds an experimental `persist_extended_history` bool flag to
app-server thread APIs so rollout logs can retain a richer set of
EventMsgs for non-lossy Thread > Turn > ThreadItems reconstruction (i.e.
on `thread/resume`).
### Motivation
Today, our rollout recorder only persists a small subset (e.g. user
message, reasoning, assistant message) of `EventMsg` types, dropping a
good number (like command exec, file change, etc.) that are important
for reconstructing full item history for `thread/resume`, `thread/read`,
and `thread/fork`.
Some clients want to be able to resume a thread without lossiness. This
lossiness is primarily a UI thing, since what the model sees are
`ResponseItem` and not `EventMsg`.
### Approach
This change introduces an opt-in `persist_full_history` flag to preserve
those events when you start/resume/fork a thread (defaults to `false`).
This is done by adding an `EventPersistenceMode` to the rollout
recorder:
- `Limited` (existing behavior, default)
- `Extended` (new opt-in behavior)
In `Extended` mode, persist additional `EventMsg` variants needed for
non-lossy app-server `ThreadItem` reconstruction. We now store the
following ThreadItems that we didn't before:
- web search
- command execution
- patch/file changes
- MCP tool calls
- image view calls
- collab tool outcomes
- context compaction
- review mode enter/exit
For **command executions** in particular, we truncate the output using
the existing `truncate_text` from core to store an upper bound of 10,000
bytes, which is also the default value for truncating tool outputs shown
to the model. This keeps the size of the rollout file and command
execution items returned over the wire reasonable.
And we also persist `EventMsg::Error` which we can now map back to the
Turn's status and populates the Turn's error metadata.
#### Updates to EventMsgs
To truly make `thread/resume` non-lossy, we also needed to persist the
`status` on `EventMsg::CommandExecutionEndEvent` and
`EventMsg::PatchApplyEndEvent`. Previously it was not obvious whether a
command failed or was declined (similar for apply_patch). These
EventMsgs were never persisted before so I made it a required field.
