- We now support `.codex/config.toml` in repo (from `cwd` up to the first `.git` found, if any) as layers in `ConfigLayerStack`. A new `ConfigLayerSource::Project` variant was added to support this. - In doing this work, I realized that we were resolving relative paths in `config.toml` after merging everything into one `toml::Value`, which is wrong: paths should be relativized with respect to the folder containing the `config.toml` that was deserialized. This PR introduces a deserialize/re-serialize strategy to account for this in `resolve_config_paths()`. (This is why `Serialize` is added to so many types as part of this PR.) - Added tests to verify this new behavior. --- [//]: # (BEGIN SAPLING FOOTER) Stack created with [Sapling](https://sapling-scm.com).

codex-core config loader
This module is the canonical place to load and describe Codex configuration layers (user config, CLI/session overrides, managed config, and MDM-managed preferences) and to produce:
- An effective merged TOML config.
- Per-key origins metadata (which layer “wins” for a given key).
- Per-layer versions (stable fingerprints) used for optimistic concurrency / conflict detection.
Public surface
Exported from codex_core::config_loader:
load_config_layers_state(codex_home, cwd_opt, cli_overrides, overrides) -> ConfigLayerStackConfigLayerStackeffective_config() -> toml::Valueorigins() -> HashMap<String, ConfigLayerMetadata>layers_high_to_low() -> Vec<ConfigLayer>with_user_config(user_config) -> ConfigLayerStack
ConfigLayerEntry(one layer’s{name, config, version};namecarries source metadata)LoaderOverrides(test/override hooks for managed config sources)merge_toml_values(base, overlay)(public helper used elsewhere)
Layering model
Precedence is top overrides bottom:
- MDM managed preferences (macOS only)
- System managed config (e.g.
managed_config.toml) - Session flags (CLI overrides, applied as dotted-path TOML writes)
- User config (
config.toml)
This is what ConfigLayerStack::effective_config() implements.
Typical usage
Most callers want the effective config plus metadata:
use codex_core::config_loader::{load_config_layers_state, LoaderOverrides};
use codex_utils_absolute_path::AbsolutePathBuf;
use toml::Value as TomlValue;
let cli_overrides: Vec<(String, TomlValue)> = Vec::new();
let cwd = AbsolutePathBuf::current_dir()?;
let layers = load_config_layers_state(
&codex_home,
Some(cwd),
&cli_overrides,
LoaderOverrides::default(),
).await?;
let effective = layers.effective_config();
let origins = layers.origins();
let layers_for_ui = layers.layers_high_to_low();
Internal layout
Implementation is split by concern:
state.rs: public types (ConfigLayerEntry,ConfigLayerStack) + merge/origins convenience methods.layer_io.rs: readingconfig.toml, managed config, and managed preferences inputs.overrides.rs: CLI dotted-path overrides → TOML “session flags” layer.merge.rs: recursive TOML merge.fingerprint.rs: stable per-layer hashing and per-key origins traversal.macos.rs: managed preferences integration (macOS only).
