By default, show only sessions that shared a cwd with the current cwd.
`--all` shows all sessions in all cwds. Also, show the branch name from
the rollout metadata.

## Summary
- update documentation, example configs, and automation defaults to
reference gpt-5.1 / gpt-5.1-codex
- bump the CLI and core configuration defaults, model presets, and error
messaging to the new models while keeping the model-family/tool coverage
for legacy slugs
- refresh tests, fixtures, and TUI snapshots so they expect the upgraded
defaults
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-core
config::tests::test_precedence_fixture_with_gpt5_profile`

[Codex
Task](https://chatgpt.com/codex/tasks/task_i_6916c5b3c2b08321ace04ee38604fc6b)
The `cap_sid` file contains the IDs of the two custom SIDs that the
Windows sandbox creates/manages to implement read-only and
workspace-write sandbox policies.
It previously lived in `<cwd>/.codex` which means that the sandbox could
write to it, which could degrade the efficacy of the sandbox. This
change moves it to `~/.codex/` (or wherever `CODEX_HOME` points to) so
that it is outside the workspace.
This adds a debugging tool for analyzing why certain commands fail to
execute under the sandbox.
Example output:
```
$ codex debug seatbelt --log-denials bash -lc "(echo foo > ~/foo.txt)"
bash: /Users/nornagon/foo.txt: Operation not permitted
=== Sandbox denials ===
(bash) file-write-data /dev/tty
(bash) file-write-data /dev/ttys001
(bash) sysctl-read kern.ngroups
(bash) file-write-create /Users/nornagon/foo.txt
```
It operates by:
1. spawning `log stream` to watch system logs, and
2. tracking all descendant PIDs using kqueue + proc_listchildpids.
this is a "best-effort" technique, as `log stream` may drop logs(?), and
kqueue + proc_listchildpids isn't atomic and can end up missing very
short-lived processes. But it works well enough in my testing to be
useful :)
Add a `codex generate-json-schema` command for generating a JSON schema
bundle of app-server types, analogous to the existing `codex
generate-ts` command for Typescript.
Update `codex generate-ts` to use the TS export code from
`app-server-protocol/src/export.rs`.
I realized there were two duplicate implementations of Typescript export
code:
- `app-server-protocol/src/export.rs`
- the `codex-protocol-ts` crate
The `codex-protocol-ts` crate that `codex generate-ts` uses is out of
date now since it doesn't handle the V2 namespace from:
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/6212.
On Windows, `npm` by itself does not resolve under std::process::Command
which does not consider PATHEXT to resolve it to `npm.cmd` in the PATH.
By running the npm upgrade command via cmd.exe we get proper path
semantics so it actually works.
1. scan many more directories since it's much faster than the original
implementation
2. limit overall scan time to 2s
3. skip some directories that are noisy - ApplicationData, Installer,
etc.
When running under WSL, the update command could receive Windows-style
absolute paths (e.g., `C:\...`) and pass them to Linux processes
unchanged, which fails because WSL expects those paths in
`/mnt/<drive>/...` form.
This patch adds a tiny helper in the CLI (`cli/src/wsl_paths.rs`) that:
- Detects WSL (`WSL_DISTRO_NAME` or `"microsoft"` in `/proc/version`)
- Converts `X:\...` → `/mnt/x/...`
`run_update_action` now normalizes the package-manager command and
arguments under WSL before spawning.
Non-WSL platforms are unaffected.
Includes small unit tests for the converter.
**Fixes:** #6086, #6084

This allows `gh api` to work in the workspace-write sandbox w/ network
enabled. Without this we see e.g.
```
$ codex debug seatbelt --full-auto gh api repos/openai/codex/pulls --paginate -X GET -F state=all
Get "https://api.github.com/repos/openai/codex/pulls?per_page=100&state=all": tls: failed to verify certificate: x509: OSStatus -26276
```
The deprecation message is currently a bit confusing. Users may not
understand what is `[features].x`. I updated the docs and the
deprecation message for more guidance.

Error message for attempting to OAuth with a remote RCP is incorrect and
misleading. The correct config is
```
[features]
rmcp_client = true
```

- Added the new codex-windows-sandbox crate that builds both a library
entry point (run_windows_sandbox_capture) and a CLI executable to launch
commands inside a Windows restricted-token sandbox, including ACL
management, capability SID provisioning, network lockdown, and output
capture
(windows-sandbox-rs/src/lib.rs:167, windows-sandbox-rs/src/main.rs:54).
- Introduced the experimental WindowsSandbox feature flag and wiring so
Windows builds can opt into the sandbox:
SandboxType::WindowsRestrictedToken, the in-process execution path, and
platform sandbox selection now honor the flag (core/src/features.rs:47,
core/src/config.rs:1224, core/src/safety.rs:19,
core/src/sandboxing/mod.rs:69, core/src/exec.rs:79,
core/src/exec.rs:172).
- Updated workspace metadata to include the new crate and its
Windows-specific dependencies so the core crate can link against it
(codex-rs/
Cargo.toml:91, core/Cargo.toml:86).
- Added a PowerShell bootstrap script that installs the Windows
toolchain, required CLI utilities, and builds the workspace to ease
development
on the platform (scripts/setup-windows.ps1:1).
- Landed a Python smoke-test suite that exercises
read-only/workspace-write policies, ACL behavior, and network denial for
the Windows sandbox
binary (windows-sandbox-rs/sandbox_smoketests.py:1).
The goal is to have a single place where we actually write files
In a follow-up PR, will move everything config related in a dedicated
module and move the helpers in a dedicated file
This PR is a follow-up to #5591. It allows users to choose which auth
storage mode they want by using the new
`cli_auth_credentials_store_mode` config.
This PR introduces a new `Auth Storage` abstraction layer that takes
care of read, write, and load of auth tokens based on the
AuthCredentialsStoreMode. It is similar to how we handle MCP client
oauth
[here](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/main/codex-rs/rmcp-client/src/oauth.rs).
Instead of reading and writing directly from disk for auth tokens, Codex
CLI workflows now should instead use this auth storage using the public
helper functions.
This PR is just a refactor of the current code so the behavior stays the
same. We will add support for keyring and hybrid mode in follow-up PRs.
I have read the CLA Document and I hereby sign the CLA
Because the GitHub MCP is one of the most popular MCPs and it
confusingly doesn't support OAuth, we should make it more clear how to
make it work so people don't think Codex is broken.
Some MCP servers expose a lot of tools. In those cases, it is reasonable
to allow/denylist tools for Codex to use so it doesn't get overwhelmed
with too many tools.
The new configuration options available in the `mcp_server` toml table
are:
* `enabled_tools`
* `disabled_tools`
Fixes#4796
Add a `--add-dir` CLI flag so sessions can use extra writable roots in
addition to the ones specified in the config file. These are ephemerally
added during the session only.
Fixes#3303Fixes#2797
This makes stdio mcp servers more flexible by allowing users to specify
the cwd to run the server command from and adding additional environment
variables to be passed through to the server.
Example config using the test server in this repo:
```toml
[mcp_servers.test_stdio]
cwd = "/Users/<user>/code/codex/codex-rs"
command = "cargo"
args = ["run", "--bin", "test_stdio_server"]
env_vars = ["MCP_TEST_VALUE"]
```
@bolinfest I know you hate these env var tests but let's roll with this
for now. I may take a stab at the env guard + serial macro at some
point.
This adds two new config fields to streamable http mcp servers:
`http_headers`: a map of key to value
`env_http_headers` a map of key to env var which will be resolved at
request time
All headers will be passed to all MCP requests to that server just like
authorization headers.
There is a test ensuring that headers are not passed to other servers.
Fixes#5180
