Two fixes:
1. Include trailing tool output in the total context size calculation.
Otherwise when checking whether compaction should run we ignore newly
added outputs.
2. Trim trailing tool output/tool calls until we can fit the request
into the model context size. Otherwise the compaction endpoint will fail
to compact. We only trim items that can be reproduced again by the model
(tool calls, tool call outputs).
###### Summary
- Add input_modalities to model metadata so clients can determine
supported input types.
- Gate image paste/attach in TUI when the selected model does not
support images.
- Block submits that include images for unsupported models and show a
clear warning.
- Propagate modality metadata through app-server protocol/model-list
responses.
- Update related tests/fixtures.
###### Rationale
- Models support different input modalities.
- Clients need an explicit capability signal to prevent unsupported
requests.
- Backward-compatible defaults preserve existing behavior when modality
metadata is absent.
###### Scope
- codex-rs/protocol, codex-rs/core, codex-rs/tui
- codex-rs/app-server-protocol, codex-rs/app-server
- Generated app-server types / schema fixtures
###### Trade-offs
- Default behavior assumes text + image when field is absent for
compatibility.
- Server-side validation remains the source of truth.
###### Follow-up
- Non-TUI clients should consume input_modalities to disable unsupported
attachments.
- Model catalogs should explicitly set input_modalities for text-only
models.
###### Testing
- cargo fmt --all
- cargo test -p codex-tui
- env -u GITHUB_APP_KEY cargo test -p codex-core --lib
- just write-app-server-schema
- cargo run -p codex-cli --bin codex -- app-server generate-ts --out
app-server-types
- test against local backend

### Tests

We started working with MCP in Codex before
https://crates.io/crates/rmcp was mature, so we had our own crate for
MCP types that was generated from the MCP schema:
8b95d3e082/codex-rs/mcp-types/README.md
Now that `rmcp` is more mature, it makes more sense to use their MCP
types in Rust, as they handle details (like the `_meta` field) that our
custom version ignored. Though one advantage that our custom types had
is that our generated types implemented `JsonSchema` and `ts_rs::TS`,
whereas the types in `rmcp` do not. As such, part of the work of this PR
is leveraging the adapters between `rmcp` types and the serializable
types that are API for us (app server and MCP) introduced in #10356.
Note this PR results in a number of changes to
`codex-rs/app-server-protocol/schema`, which merit special attention
during review. We must ensure that these changes are still
backwards-compatible, which is possible because we have:
```diff
- export type CallToolResult = { content: Array<ContentBlock>, isError?: boolean, structuredContent?: JsonValue, };
+ export type CallToolResult = { content: Array<JsonValue>, structuredContent?: JsonValue, isError?: boolean, _meta?: JsonValue, };
```
so `ContentBlock` has been replaced with the more general `JsonValue`.
Note that `ContentBlock` was defined as:
```typescript
export type ContentBlock = TextContent | ImageContent | AudioContent | ResourceLink | EmbeddedResource;
```
so the deletion of those individual variants should not be a cause of
great concern.
Similarly, we have the following change in
`codex-rs/app-server-protocol/schema/typescript/Tool.ts`:
```
- export type Tool = { annotations?: ToolAnnotations, description?: string, inputSchema: ToolInputSchema, name: string, outputSchema?: ToolOutputSchema, title?: string, };
+ export type Tool = { name: string, title?: string, description?: string, inputSchema: JsonValue, outputSchema?: JsonValue, annotations?: JsonValue, icons?: Array<JsonValue>, _meta?: JsonValue, };
```
so:
- `annotations?: ToolAnnotations` ➡️ `JsonValue`
- `inputSchema: ToolInputSchema` ➡️ `JsonValue`
- `outputSchema?: ToolOutputSchema` ➡️ `JsonValue`
and two new fields: `icons?: Array<JsonValue>, _meta?: JsonValue`

diff is big because i moved logic to reuse
When using ChatGPT in names of types, we should be consistent, so this
renames some types with `ChatGpt` in the name to `Chatgpt`. From
https://rust-lang.github.io/api-guidelines/naming.html:
> In `UpperCamelCase`, acronyms and contractions of compound words count
as one word: use `Uuid` rather than `UUID`, `Usize` rather than `USize`
or `Stdin` rather than `StdIn`. In `snake_case`, acronyms and
contractions are lower-cased: `is_xid_start`.
This PR updates existing uses of `ChatGpt` and changes them to
`Chatgpt`. Though in all cases where it could affect the wire format, I
visually inspected that we don't change anything there. That said, this
_will_ change the codegen because it will affect the spelling of type
names.
For example, this renames `AuthMode::ChatGPT` to `AuthMode::Chatgpt` in
`app-server-protocol`, but the wire format is still `"chatgpt"`.
This PR also updates a number of types in `codex-rs/core/src/auth.rs`.
## Summary
- Stream proposed plans in Plan Mode using `<proposed_plan>` tags parsed
in core, emitting plan deltas plus a plan `ThreadItem`, while stripping
tags from normal assistant output.
- Persist plan items and rebuild them on resume so proposed plans show
in thread history.
- Wire plan items/deltas through app-server protocol v2 and render a
dedicated proposed-plan view in the TUI, including the “Implement this
plan?” prompt only when a plan item is present.
## Changes
### Core (`codex-rs/core`)
- Added a generic, line-based tag parser that buffers each line until it
can disprove a tag prefix; implements auto-close on `finish()` for
unterminated tags. `codex-rs/core/src/tagged_block_parser.rs`
- Refactored proposed plan parsing to wrap the generic parser.
`codex-rs/core/src/proposed_plan_parser.rs`
- In plan mode, stream assistant deltas as:
- **Normal text** → `AgentMessageContentDelta`
- **Plan text** → `PlanDelta` + `TurnItem::Plan` start/completion
(`codex-rs/core/src/codex.rs`)
- Final plan item content is derived from the completed assistant
message (authoritative), not necessarily the concatenated deltas.
- Strips `<proposed_plan>` blocks from assistant text in plan mode so
tags don’t appear in normal messages.
(`codex-rs/core/src/stream_events_utils.rs`)
- Persist `ItemCompleted` events only for plan items for rollout replay.
(`codex-rs/core/src/rollout/policy.rs`)
- Guard `update_plan` tool in Plan Mode with a clear error message.
(`codex-rs/core/src/tools/handlers/plan.rs`)
- Updated Plan Mode prompt to:
- keep `<proposed_plan>` out of non-final reasoning/preambles
- require exact tag formatting
- allow only one `<proposed_plan>` block per turn
(`codex-rs/core/templates/collaboration_mode/plan.md`)
### Protocol / App-server protocol
- Added `TurnItem::Plan` and `PlanDeltaEvent` to core protocol items.
(`codex-rs/protocol/src/items.rs`, `codex-rs/protocol/src/protocol.rs`)
- Added v2 `ThreadItem::Plan` and `PlanDeltaNotification` with
EXPERIMENTAL markers and note that deltas may not match the final plan
item. (`codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol/v2.rs`)
- Added plan delta route in app-server protocol common mapping.
(`codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol/common.rs`)
- Rebuild plan items from persisted `ItemCompleted` events on resume.
(`codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol/thread_history.rs`)
### App-server
- Forward plan deltas to v2 clients and map core plan items to v2 plan
items. (`codex-rs/app-server/src/bespoke_event_handling.rs`,
`codex-rs/app-server/src/codex_message_processor.rs`)
- Added v2 plan item tests.
(`codex-rs/app-server/tests/suite/v2/plan_item.rs`)
### TUI
- Added a dedicated proposed plan history cell with special background
and padding, and moved “• Proposed Plan” outside the highlighted block.
(`codex-rs/tui/src/history_cell.rs`, `codex-rs/tui/src/style.rs`)
- Only show “Implement this plan?” when a plan item exists.
(`codex-rs/tui/src/chatwidget.rs`,
`codex-rs/tui/src/chatwidget/tests.rs`)

src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/69794c8c-f96b-4d36-92ef-c1f5c3a8f286"
/>
### Docs / Misc
- Updated protocol docs to mention plan deltas.
(`codex-rs/docs/protocol_v1.md`)
- Minor plumbing updates in exec/debug clients to tolerate plan deltas.
(`codex-rs/debug-client/src/reader.rs`, `codex-rs/exec/...`)
## Tests
- Added core integration tests:
- Plan mode strips plan from agent messages.
- Missing `</proposed_plan>` closes at end-of-message.
(`codex-rs/core/tests/suite/items.rs`)
- Added unit tests for generic tag parser (prefix buffering, non-tag
lines, auto-close). (`codex-rs/core/src/tagged_block_parser.rs`)
- Existing app-server plan item tests in v2.
(`codex-rs/app-server/tests/suite/v2/plan_item.rs`)
## Notes / Behavior
- Plan output no longer appears in standard assistant text in Plan Mode;
it streams via `PlanDelta` and completes as a `TurnItem::Plan`.
- The final plan item content is authoritative and may diverge from
streamed deltas (documented as experimental).
- Reasoning summaries are not filtered; prompt instructs the model not
to include `<proposed_plan>` outside the final plan message.

Add dynamic tools to rollout file for persistence & read from rollout on
resume. Ran a real example and spotted the following in the rollout
file:
```
{"timestamp":"2026-01-29T01:27:57.468Z","type":"session_meta","payload":{"id":"019c075d-3f0b-77e3-894e-c1c159b04b1e","timestamp":"2026-01-29T01:27:57.451Z","...."dynamic_tools":[{"name":"demo_tool","description":"Demo dynamic tool","inputSchema":{"additionalProperties":false,"properties":{"city":{"type":"string"}},"required":["city"],"type":"object"}}],"git":{"commit_hash":"ebc573f15c01b8af158e060cfedd401f043e9dfa","branch":"dev/cc/dynamic-tools","repository_url":"https://github.com/openai/codex.git"}}}
```
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).
we can't use runfiles directory on Windows due to path lengths, so swap
to manifest strategy. Parsing the manifest is a bit complex and the
format is changing in Bazel upstream, so pull in the official Rust
library (via a small hack to make it importable...) and cleanup all the
associated logic to work cleanly in both bazel and cargo without extra
confusion

deprecate all old web search flags and aliases, including:
- `[features].web_search_request` and `[features].web_search_cached`
- `[tools].web_search`
- `[features].web_search`
slightly rework `legacy_usages` to enable pointing to non-features from
deprecated features; we need to point to `web_search` (not under
`[features]`) from things like `[features].web_search_cached` and
`[features].web_search_request`.
Added integration tests to confirm deprecation notice is shown on
explicit enablement and disablement of deprecated flags.
Add a `.sqlite` database to be used to store rollout metatdata (and
later logs)
This PR is phase 1:
* Add the database and the required infrastructure
* Add a backfill of the database
* Persist the newly created rollout both in files and in the DB
* When we need to get metadata or a rollout, consider the `JSONL` as the
source of truth but compare the results with the DB and show any errors
web_search can now be updated per-turn, for things like changes to
sandbox policy.
`SandboxPolicy::DangerFullAccess` now sets web_search to `live`, and the
default is still `cached`.
Added integration tests.
### Summary
- Parse all `web_search` tool actions (`search`, `find_in_page`,
`open_page`).
- Previously we only parsed + displayed `search`, which made the TUI
appear to pause when the other actions were being used.
- Show in progress `web_search` calls as `Searching the web`
- Previously we only showed completed tool calls

/>
### Tests
Added + updated tests, tested locally
### Follow ups
Update VSCode extension to display these as well
## Context
Previous work in https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/9560 only rejected
`request_user_input` in Execute and Custom modes. Since then, additional
modes
(e.g., Code) were added, so the guard should be mode-agnostic.
## What changed
- Switch the handler to an allowlist: only Plan and PairProgramming are
allowed
- Return the same error for any other mode (including Code)
- Add a Code-mode rejection test alongside the existing Execute/Custom
tests
## Why
This prevents `request_user_input` from being used in modes where it is
not
intended, even as new modes are introduced.
### 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).

## 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>" } }
```
## Author Codex Session
`codex resume 019bf158-54b6-7960-a696-9d85df7e1bc1` (soon I'll make this
kind of session UUID forkable by anyone with the right
`session_object_storage_url` line in their config, but for now just
pasting it here for my reference)
### Summary
Add `isOther` to question object from request_user_input tool input and
remove `other` option from the tool prompt to better handle tool input.
## Summary
Move `model_instructions_template` config to the experimental slug while
we iterate on this feature
## Testing
- [x] Tested locally, unit tests still pass
## Summary
Adds /personality selector in the TUI, which leverages the new core
interface in #9644
Notes:
- We are doing some of our own state management for model_info loading
here, but not sure if that's ideal. open to opinions on simpler
approach, but would like to avoid blocking on a larger refactor
- Right now, the `/personality` selector just hides when the model
doesn't support it. we can update this behavior down the line
## Testing
- [x] Tested locally
- [x] Added snapshot tests
