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.

## Summary
- split `models-manager` out of `core` and add `ModelsManagerConfig`
plus `Config::to_models_manager_config()` so model metadata paths stop
depending on `core::Config`
- move login-owned/auth-owned code out of `core` into `codex-login`,
move model provider config into `codex-model-provider-info`, move API
bridge mapping into `codex-api`, move protocol-owned types/impls into
`codex-protocol`, and move response debug helpers into a dedicated
`response-debug-context` crate
- move feedback tag emission into `codex-feedback`, relocate tests to
the crates that now own the code, and keep broad temporary re-exports so
this PR avoids a giant import-only rewrite
## Major moves and decisions
- created `codex-models-manager` as the owner for model
cache/catalog/config/model info logic, including the new
`ModelsManagerConfig` struct
- created `codex-model-provider-info` as the owner for provider config
parsing/defaults and kept temporary `codex-login`/`codex-core`
re-exports for old import paths
- moved `api_bridge` error mapping + `CoreAuthProvider` into
`codex-api`, while `codex-login::api_bridge` temporarily re-exports
those symbols and keeps the `auth_provider_from_auth` wrapper
- moved `auth_env_telemetry` and `provider_auth` ownership to
`codex-login`
- moved `CodexErr` ownership to `codex-protocol::error`, plus
`StreamOutput`, `bytes_to_string_smart`, and network policy helpers to
protocol-owned modules
- created `codex-response-debug-context` for
`extract_response_debug_context`, `telemetry_transport_error_message`,
and related response-debug plumbing instead of leaving that behavior in
`core`
- moved `FeedbackRequestTags`, `emit_feedback_request_tags`, and
`emit_feedback_request_tags_with_auth_env` to `codex-feedback`
- deferred removal of temporary re-exports and the mechanical import
rewrites to a stacked follow-up PR so this PR stays reviewable
## Test moves
- moved auth refresh coverage from `core/tests/suite/auth_refresh.rs` to
`login/tests/suite/auth_refresh.rs`
- moved text encoding coverage from
`core/tests/suite/text_encoding_fix.rs` to
`protocol/src/exec_output_tests.rs`
- moved model info override coverage from
`core/tests/suite/model_info_overrides.rs` to
`models-manager/src/model_info_overrides_tests.rs`

## Why
This finishes the config-type move out of `codex-core` by removing the
temporary compatibility shim in `codex_core::config::types`. Callers now
depend on `codex-config` directly, which keeps these config model types
owned by the config crate instead of re-expanding `codex-core` as a
transitive API surface.
## What Changed
- Removed the `codex-rs/core/src/config/types.rs` re-export shim and the
`core::config::ApprovalsReviewer` re-export.
- Updated `codex-core`, `codex-cli`, `codex-tui`, `codex-app-server`,
`codex-mcp-server`, and `codex-linux-sandbox` call sites to import
`codex_config::types` directly.
- Added explicit `codex-config` dependencies to downstream crates that
previously relied on the `codex-core` re-export.
- Regenerated `codex-rs/core/config.schema.json` after updating the
config docs path reference.
## Why
`codex-rs/core/src/config/types.rs` is a plain config-type module with
no dependency on `codex-core`. Moving it into `codex-config` shrinks the
core crate and gives config-only consumers a more natural dependency
boundary.
## What Changed
- Added `codex_config::types` with the moved structs, enums, constants,
and unit tests.
- Kept `codex_core::config::types` as a compatibility re-export to avoid
a broad call-site migration in this PR.
- Switched notice-table writes in `core/src/config/edit.rs` to a local
`NOTICE_TABLE_KEY` constant.
- Added the `wildmatch` runtime dependency and `tempfile` test
dependency to `codex-config`.
This PR updates `Cargo.lock` to remove `codex-core` from
`mcp_test_support`, which corresponds to
`codex-rs/mcp-server/tests/common/Cargo.toml`. As noted in #16512, it
updated that crate to drop its `codex-core` dependency.
## 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`.
## Why
`codex-mcp` already owns the shared MCP API surface, including `auth`,
`McpConfig`, `CODEX_APPS_MCP_SERVER_NAME`, and tool-name helpers in
[`codex-rs/codex-mcp/src/mcp/mod.rs`](f61e85dbfb/codex-rs/codex-mcp/src/mcp/mod.rs (L1-L35)).
Re-exporting that surface from `codex_core::mcp` gives downstream crates
two import paths for the same API and hides the real crate dependency.
This PR keeps `codex_core::mcp` focused on the local `McpManager`
wrapper in
[`codex-rs/core/src/mcp.rs`](f61e85dbfb/codex-rs/core/src/mcp.rs (L13-L40))
and makes consumers import shared MCP APIs from `codex_mcp` directly.
## What
- Remove the `codex_mcp::mcp` re-export surface from `core/src/mcp.rs`.
- Update `codex-core` internals plus `codex-app-server`, `codex-cli`,
and `codex-tui` test code to import MCP APIs from `codex_mcp::mcp`
directly.
- Add explicit `codex-mcp` dependencies where those crates now use that
API surface, and refresh `Cargo.lock`.
## Verification
- `just bazel-lock-check`
- `cargo test -p codex-core -p codex-cli -p codex-tui`
- `codex-cli` passed.
- `codex-core` still fails five unrelated config tests in
`core/src/config/config_tests.rs` (`approvals_reviewer_*` and
`smart_approvals_alias_*`).
- A broader `cargo test -p codex-core -p codex-app-server -p codex-cli
-p codex-tui` run previously hung in `codex-app-server` test
`in_process_start_uses_requested_session_source_for_thread_start`.
- Split MCP runtime/server code out of `codex-core` into the new
`codex-mcp` crate. New/moved public structs/types include `McpConfig`,
`McpConnectionManager`, `ToolInfo`, `ToolPluginProvenance`,
`CodexAppsToolsCacheKey`, and the `McpManager` API
(`codex_mcp::mcp::McpManager` plus the `codex_core::mcp::McpManager`
wrapper/shim). New/moved functions include `with_codex_apps_mcp`,
`configured_mcp_servers`, `effective_mcp_servers`,
`collect_mcp_snapshot`, `collect_mcp_snapshot_from_manager`,
`qualified_mcp_tool_name_prefix`, and the MCP auth/skill-dependency
helpers. Why: this creates a focused MCP crate boundary and shrinks
`codex-core` without forcing every consumer to migrate in the same PR.
- Move MCP server config schema and persistence into `codex-config`.
New/moved structs/enums include `AppToolApproval`,
`McpServerToolConfig`, `McpServerConfig`, `RawMcpServerConfig`,
`McpServerTransportConfig`, `McpServerDisabledReason`, and
`codex_config::ConfigEditsBuilder`. New/moved functions include
`load_global_mcp_servers` and
`ConfigEditsBuilder::replace_mcp_servers`/`apply`. Why: MCP TOML
parsing/editing is config ownership, and this keeps config
validation/round-tripping (including per-tool approval overrides and
inline bearer-token rejection) in the config crate instead of
`codex-core`.
- Rewire `codex-core`, app-server, and plugin call sites onto the new
crates. Updated `Config::to_mcp_config(&self, plugins_manager)`,
`codex-rs/core/src/mcp.rs`, `codex-rs/core/src/connectors.rs`,
`codex-rs/core/src/codex.rs`,
`CodexMessageProcessor::list_mcp_server_status_task`, and
`utils/plugins/src/mcp_connector.rs` to build/pass the new MCP
config/runtime types. Why: plugin-provided MCP servers still merge with
user-configured servers, and runtime auth (`CodexAuth`) is threaded into
`with_codex_apps_mcp` / `collect_mcp_snapshot` explicitly so `McpConfig`
stays config-only.
## Why
`codex-core` already owns too much of the tool stack, and `AGENTS.md`
explicitly pushes us to move shared code out of `codex-core` instead of
letting it keep growing. This PR takes the next incremental step in
moving `core/src/tools` toward `codex-rs/tools` by extracting
low-coupling tool configuration and image-detail gating logic into
`codex-tools`.
That gives later extraction work a cleaner boundary to build on without
trying to move the entire tools subtree in one shot.
## What changed
- moved `ToolsConfig`, `ToolsConfigParams`, shell backend config, and
unified-exec session selection from `core/src/tools/spec.rs` into
`codex-tools`
- moved original image-detail gating and normalization into
`codex-tools`
- updated `codex-core` to consume the new `codex-tools` exports and pass
a rendered agent-type description instead of raw role config
- kept `codex-rs/tools/src/lib.rs` exports-only, with extracted unit
tests living in sibling `*_tests.rs` modules
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-tools`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --lib tools::spec::`
## Why
`codex-cloud-tasks-client` was mixing two different roles: the real HTTP
client and the mock implementation used by tests and local mock mode.
Keeping both in the same crate forced Cargo feature toggles and Bazel
`crate_features` just to pick an implementation.
This change keeps `codex-cloud-tasks-client` focused on the shared API
surface and real backend client, and moves the mock implementation into
its own crate so we can remove those feature permutations cleanly.
## What changed
- add a new `codex-cloud-tasks-mock-client` crate that owns `MockClient`
- remove the `mock` and `online` features from
`codex-cloud-tasks-client`
- make `codex-cloud-tasks-client` unconditionally depend on
`codex-backend-client` and export `HttpClient` directly
- gate the mock-mode path in `codex-cloud-tasks` behind
`#[cfg(debug_assertions)]`, so release builds always initialize the real
HTTP client
- update `codex-cloud-tasks` and its tests to use
`codex-cloud-tasks-mock-client::MockClient` wherever mock behavior is
needed
- remove the matching Bazel `crate_features` override and shrink the
manifest verifier allowlist accordingly
## How tested
- `cargo test -p codex-cloud-tasks-client`
- `cargo test -p codex-cloud-tasks-mock-client`
- `cargo test -p codex-cloud-tasks`

Stack created with [Sapling](https://sapling-scm.com). Best reviewed
with [ReviewStack](https://reviewstack.dev/openai/codex/pull/16456).
* #16457
* __->__ #16456
## Why
`#16193` moved the pure `tool_search` and `tool_suggest` spec builders
into `codex-tools`, but `codex-core` still owned the shared
discoverable-tool model that those builders and the `tool_suggest`
runtime both depend on. This change continues the migration by moving
that reusable model boundary out of `codex-core` as well, so the
discovery/suggestion stack uses one shared set of types and
`core/src/tools` no longer needs its own `discoverable.rs` module.
## What changed
- Moved `DiscoverableTool`, `DiscoverablePluginInfo`, and
`filter_tool_suggest_discoverable_tools_for_client()` into
`codex-rs/tools/src/tool_discovery.rs` alongside the extracted
discovery/suggestion spec builders.
- Added `codex-app-server-protocol` as a `codex-tools` dependency so the
shared discoverable-tool model can own the connector-side `AppInfo`
variant directly.
- Updated `core/src/tools/handlers/tool_suggest.rs`,
`core/src/tools/spec.rs`, `core/src/tools/router.rs`,
`core/src/connectors.rs`, and `core/src/codex.rs` to consume the shared
`codex-tools` model instead of the old core-local declarations.
- Changed `core/src/plugins/discoverable.rs` to return
`DiscoverablePluginInfo` directly, moved the pure client-filter coverage
into `tool_discovery_tests.rs`, and deleted the old
`core/src/tools/discoverable.rs` module.
- Updated `codex-rs/tools/README.md` so the crate boundary documents
that `codex-tools` now owns the discoverable-tool models in addition to
the discovery/suggestion spec builders.
## Test plan

## Why
The longer-term `codex-tools` migration is to move pure tool-definition
and tool-spec plumbing out of `codex-core` while leaving session- and
runtime-coupled orchestration behind.
The remaining code-mode adapter layer in
`core/src/tools/code_mode_description.rs` was a good next extraction
seam because it only transformed `ToolSpec` values for code mode and
already delegated the low-level description rendering to
`codex-code-mode`.
## What Changed
- added `codex-rs/tools/src/code_mode.rs` with
`augment_tool_spec_for_code_mode()` and
`tool_spec_to_code_mode_tool_definition()`
- added focused unit coverage in `codex-rs/tools/src/code_mode_tests.rs`
- rewired `core/src/tools/spec.rs` and `core/src/tools/code_mode/mod.rs`
to use the extracted adapters from `codex-tools`
- removed the old `core/src/tools/code_mode_description.rs` shim and its
test file from `codex-core`
- added the `codex-code-mode` dependency to `codex-tools`, updated
`Cargo.lock`, and refreshed the `codex-tools` README to reflect the
expanded boundary
## Test Plan

- `CARGO_TARGET_DIR=/tmp/codex-core-code-mode-adapters cargo test -p

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.
## Why
`codex-tools` already owned the shared JSON schema parser and the MCP
tool schema adapter, but `core/src/tools/spec.rs` still parsed dynamic
tools directly.
That left the tool-schema boundary split in two different ways:
- MCP tools flowed through `codex-tools`, while dynamic tools were still
parsed in `codex-core`
- the extracted dynamic-tool path initially introduced a
dynamic-specific parsed shape even though `codex-tools` already had very
similar MCP adapter output
This change finishes that extraction boundary in one step. `codex-core`
still owns `ResponsesApiTool` assembly, but both MCP tools and dynamic
tools now enter that layer through `codex-tools` using the same parsed
tool-definition shape.
## What changed
- added `tools/src/dynamic_tool.rs` and sibling
`tools/src/dynamic_tool_tests.rs`
- introduced `parse_dynamic_tool()` in `codex-tools` and switched
`core/src/tools/spec.rs` to use it for dynamic tools
- added `tools/src/parsed_tool_definition.rs` so both MCP and dynamic
adapters return the same `ParsedToolDefinition`
- updated `core/src/tools/spec.rs` to build `ResponsesApiTool` through a
shared local adapter helper instead of separate MCP and dynamic assembly
paths
- expanded `core/src/tools/spec_tests.rs` so the dynamic-tool adapter
test asserts the full converted `ResponsesApiTool`, including
`defer_loading`
- updated `codex-rs/tools/README.md` to reflect the shared parsed
tool-definition boundary
## Test plan
- `cargo test -p codex-tools`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --lib tools::spec::`

with [ReviewStack](https://reviewstack.dev/openai/codex/pull/15944).
* #15953
* __->__ #15944
## Why
`codex-tools` already owns the shared tool input schema model and parser
from the first extraction step, but `core/src/tools/spec.rs` still owned
the MCP-specific adapter that normalizes `rmcp::model::Tool` schemas and
wraps `structuredContent` into the call result output schema.
Keeping that adapter in `codex-core` means the reusable MCP schema path
is still split across crates, and the unit tests for that logic stay
anchored in `codex-core` even though the runtime orchestration does not
need to move yet.
This change takes the next small step by moving the reusable MCP schema
adapter into `codex-tools` while leaving `ResponsesApiTool` assembly in
`codex-core`.
## What changed
- added `tools/src/mcp_tool.rs` and sibling
`tools/src/mcp_tool_tests.rs`
- introduced `ParsedMcpTool`, `parse_mcp_tool()`, and
`mcp_call_tool_result_output_schema()` in `codex-tools`
- updated `core/src/tools/spec.rs` to consume parsed MCP tool parts from
`codex-tools`
- removed the now-redundant MCP schema unit tests from
`core/src/tools/spec_tests.rs`
- expanded `codex-rs/tools/README.md` to describe this second migration
step
## Test plan
- `cargo test -p codex-tools`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --lib tools::spec::`
## Why
`PermissionProfile` should only describe the per-command permissions we
still want to grant dynamically. Keeping
`MacOsSeatbeltProfileExtensions` in that surface forced extra macOS-only
approval, protocol, schema, and TUI branches for a capability we no
longer want to expose.
## What changed
- Removed the macOS-specific permission-profile types from
`codex-protocol`, the app-server v2 API, and the generated
schema/TypeScript artifacts.
- Deleted the core and sandboxing plumbing that threaded
`MacOsSeatbeltProfileExtensions` through execution requests and seatbelt
construction.
- Simplified macOS seatbelt generation so it always includes the fixed
read-only preferences allowlist instead of carrying a configurable
profile extension.
- Removed the macOS additional-permissions UI/docs/test coverage and
deleted the obsolete macOS permission modules.
- Tightened `request_permissions` intersection handling so explicitly
empty requested read lists are preserved only when that field was
actually granted, avoiding zero-grant responses being stored as active
permissions.
## Why
`parse_tool_input_schema` and the supporting `JsonSchema` model were
living in `core/src/tools/spec.rs`, but they already serve callers
outside `codex-core`.
Keeping that shared schema parsing logic inside `codex-core` makes the
crate boundary harder to reason about and works against the guidance in
`AGENTS.md` to avoid growing `codex-core` when reusable code can live
elsewhere.
This change takes the first extraction step by moving the schema parsing
primitive into its own crate while keeping the rest of the tool-spec
assembly in `codex-core`.
## What changed
- added a new `codex-tools` crate under `codex-rs/tools`
- moved the shared tool input schema model and sanitizer/parser into
`tools/src/json_schema.rs`
- kept `tools/src/lib.rs` exports-only, with the module-level unit tests
split into `json_schema_tests.rs`
- updated `codex-core` to use `codex-tools::JsonSchema` and re-export
`parse_tool_input_schema`
- updated `codex-app-server` dynamic tool validation to depend on
`codex-tools` directly instead of reaching through `codex-core`
- wired the new crate into the Cargo workspace and Bazel build graph
## Summary
- move the bwrap PATH lookup and warning helpers out of config/mod.rs
- move the related tests into a dedicated bwrap_tests.rs file
## Validation
- git diff --check
- skipped heavier local tests per request
Follow-up to #15791.
## Why
`token_data` is owned by `codex-login`, but `codex-core` was still
re-exporting it. That let callers pull auth token types through
`codex-core`, which keeps otherwise unrelated crates coupled to
`codex-core` and makes `codex-core` more of a build-graph bottleneck.
## What changed
- remove the `codex-core` re-export of `codex_login::token_data`
- update the remaining `codex-core` internals that used
`crate::token_data` to import `codex_login::token_data` directly
- update downstream callers in `codex-rs/chatgpt`,
`codex-rs/tui_app_server`, `codex-rs/app-server/tests/common`, and
`codex-rs/core/tests` to import `codex_login::token_data` directly
- add explicit `codex-login` workspace dependencies and refresh lock
metadata for crates that now depend on it directly
## Validation
- `cargo test -p codex-chatgpt --locked`
- `just argument-comment-lint`
- `just bazel-lock-update`
- `just bazel-lock-check`
## Notes
- attempted `cargo test -p codex-core --locked` and `cargo test -p
codex-core auth_refresh --locked`, but both ran out of disk while
linking `codex-core` test binaries in the local environment
## Why
`#[large_stack_test]` made the `apply_patch_cli` tests pass by giving
them more stack, but it did not address why those tests needed the extra
stack in the first place.
The real problem is the async state built by the `apply_patch_cli`
harness path. Those tests await three helper boundaries directly:
harness construction, turn submission, and apply-patch output
collection. If those helpers inline their full child futures, the test
future grows to include the whole harness startup and request/response
path.
This change replaces the workaround from #12768 with the same basic
approach used in #13429, but keeps the fix narrower: only the helper
boundaries awaited directly by `apply_patch_cli` stay boxed.
## What Changed
- removed `#[large_stack_test]` from
`core/tests/suite/apply_patch_cli.rs`
- restored ordinary `#[tokio::test(flavor = "multi_thread",
worker_threads = 2)]` annotations in that suite
- deleted the now-unused `codex-test-macros` crate and removed its
workspace wiring
- boxed only the three helper boundaries that the suite awaits directly:
- `apply_patch_harness_with(...)`
- `TestCodexHarness::submit(...)`
- `TestCodexHarness::apply_patch_output(...)`
- added comments at those boxed boundaries explaining why they remain
boxed
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-core --test all suite::apply_patch_cli --
--nocapture`
## References

- #13429
This PR partially rebase `unified_exec` on the `exec-server` and adapt
the `exec-server` accordingly.
## What changed in `exec-server`
1. Replaced the old "broadcast-driven; process-global" event model with
process-scoped session events. The goal is to be able to have dedicated
handler for each process.
2. Add to protocol contract to support explicit lifecycle status and
stream ordering:
- `WriteResponse` now returns `WriteStatus` (Accepted, UnknownProcess,
StdinClosed, Starting) instead of a bool.
- Added seq fields to output/exited notifications.
- Added terminal process/closed notification.
3. Demultiplexed remote notifications into per-process channels. Same as
for the event sys
4. Local and remote backends now both implement ExecBackend.
5. Local backend wraps internal process ID/operations into per-process
ExecProcess objects.
6. Remote backend registers a session channel before launch and
unregisters on failed launch.
## What changed in `unified_exec`
1. Added unified process-state model and backend-neutral process
wrapper. This will probably disappear in the future, but it makes it
easier to keep the work flowing on both side.
- `UnifiedExecProcess` now handles both local PTY sessions and remote
exec-server processes through a shared `ProcessHandle`.
- Added `ProcessState` to track has_exited, exit_code, and terminal
failure message consistently across backends.
2. Routed write and lifecycle handling through process-level methods.
## Some rationals
1. The change centralizes execution transport in exec-server while
preserving policy and orchestration ownership in core, avoiding
duplicated launch approval logic. This comes from internal discussion.
2. Session-scoped events remove coupling/cross-talk between processes
and make stream ordering and terminal state explicit (seq, closed,
failed).
3. The failure-path surfacing (remote launch failures, write failures,
transport disconnects) makes command tool output and cleanup behavior
deterministic
## Follow-ups:
* Unify the concept of thread ID behind an obfuscated struct
* FD handling
* Full zsh-fork compatibility
* Full network sandboxing compatibility
* Handle ws disconnection
Fixes#15283.
## Summary
Older system bubblewrap builds reject `--argv0`, which makes our Linux
sandbox fail before the helper can re-exec. This PR keeps using system
`/usr/bin/bwrap` whenever it exists and only falls back to vendored
bwrap when the system binary is missing. That matters on stricter
AppArmor hosts, where the distro bwrap package also provides the policy
setup needed for user namespaces.
For old system bwrap, we avoid `--argv0` instead of switching binaries:
- pass the sandbox helper a full-path `argv0`,
- keep the existing `current_exe() + --argv0` path when the selected
launcher supports it,
- otherwise omit `--argv0` and re-exec through the helper's own
`argv[0]` path, whose basename still dispatches as
`codex-linux-sandbox`.
Also updates the launcher/warning tests and docs so they match the new
behavior: present-but-old system bwrap uses the compatibility path, and
only absent system bwrap falls back to vendored.
### Validation
1. Install Ubuntu 20.04 in a VM
2. Compile codex and run without bubblewrap installed - see a warning
about falling back to the vendored bwrap

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.
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
## Testing
- CI

## 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.

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
- move the pure sandbox policy transform helpers from `codex-core` into
`codex-sandboxing`
- move the corresponding unit tests with the extracted implementation
- update `core` and `app-server` callers to import the moved APIs
directly, without re-exports or proxy methods
## Testing
- cargo test -p codex-sandboxing
- cargo test -p codex-core sandboxing
- cargo test -p codex-app-server --lib
- just fix -p codex-sandboxing
- just fix -p codex-core
- just fix -p codex-app-server
- just fmt
- just argument-comment-lint
## Summary
- move macOS permission merging/intersection logic and tests from
`codex-core` into `codex-sandboxing`
- move seatbelt policy builders, permissions logic, SBPL assets, and
their tests into `codex-sandboxing`
- keep `codex-core` owning only the seatbelt spawn wrapper and switch
call sites to import the moved APIs directly
## Notes
- no re-exports added
- moved the seatbelt tests with the implementation so internal helpers
could stay private
- local verification is still finishing while this PR is open
## Summary
- add a new `codex-sandboxing` crate for sandboxing extraction work
- move the pure Linux sandbox argv builders and their unit tests out of
`codex-core`
- keep `core::landlock` as the spawn wrapper and update direct callers
to use `codex_sandboxing::landlock`
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-sandboxing`
- `cargo test -p codex-core landlock`
- `cargo test -p codex-cli debug_sandbox`
- `just argument-comment-lint`
## Notes
- this is step 1 of the move plan aimed at minimizing per-PR diffs
- no re-exports or no-op proxy methods were added
Moves Code Mode to a new crate with no dependencies on codex. This
create encodes the code mode semantics that we want for lifetime,
mounting, tool calling.
The model-facing surface is mostly unchanged. `exec` still runs raw
JavaScript, `wait` still resumes or terminates a `cell_id`, nested tools
are still available through `tools.*`, and helpers like `text`, `image`,
`store`, `load`, `notify`, `yield_control`, and `exit` still exist.
The major change is underneath that surface:
- Old code mode was an external Node runtime.
- New code mode is an in-process V8 runtime embedded directly in Rust.
- Old code mode managed cells inside a long-lived Node runner process.
- New code mode manages cells in Rust, with one V8 runtime thread per
active `exec`.
- Old code mode used JSON protocol messages over child stdin/stdout plus
Node worker-thread messages.
- New code mode uses Rust channels and direct V8 callbacks/events.
This PR also fixes the two migration regressions that fell out of that
substrate change:
- `wait { terminate: true }` now waits for the V8 runtime to actually
stop before reporting termination.
- synchronous top-level `exit()` now succeeds again instead of surfacing
as a script error.
---
- `core/src/tools/code_mode/*` is now mostly an adapter layer for the
public `exec` / `wait` tools.
- `code-mode/src/service.rs` owns cell sessions and async control flow
in Rust.
- `code-mode/src/runtime/*.rs` owns the embedded V8 isolate and
JavaScript execution.
- each `exec` spawns a dedicated runtime thread plus a Rust
session-control task.
- helper globals are installed directly into the V8 context instead of
being injected through a source prelude.
- helper modules like `tools.js` and `@openai/code_mode` are synthesized
through V8 module resolution callbacks in Rust.
---
Also added a benchmark for showing the speed of init and use of a code
mode env:

- emit a typed `thread/realtime/transcriptUpdated` notification from
live realtime transcript deltas
- expose that notification as flat `threadId`, `role`, and `text` fields
instead of a nested transcript array
- continue forwarding raw `handoff_request` items on
`thread/realtime/itemAdded`, including the accumulated
`active_transcript`
- update app-server docs, tests, and generated protocol schema artifacts
to match the delta-based payloads
