- Align ConversationId API to upstream; add From conversions
- Keep MCP server UA semantics and disable login flows in server
- Preserve ICU/sys-locale deps; keep uuid v4 usage
- Minimal fixes to core + recorder for new id type
Build: verify.sh ok; build-fast.sh ok (no warnings)
We need to construct the history different when compact happens. For
this, we need to just consider the history after compact and convert
compact to a response item.
This needs to change and use `build_compact_history` when this #3446 is
merged.
## 📝 Review Mode -- Core
This PR introduces the Core implementation for Review mode:
- New op `Op::Review { prompt: String }:` spawns a child review task
with isolated context, a review‑specific system prompt, and a
`Config.review_model`.
- `EnteredReviewMode`: emitted when the child review session starts.
Every event from this point onwards reflects the review session.
- `ExitedReviewMode(Option<ReviewOutputEvent>)`: emitted when the review
finishes or is interrupted, with optional structured findings:
```json
{
"findings": [
{
"title": "<≤ 80 chars, imperative>",
"body": "<valid Markdown explaining *why* this is a problem; cite files/lines/functions>",
"confidence_score": <float 0.0-1.0>,
"priority": <int 0-3>,
"code_location": {
"absolute_file_path": "<file path>",
"line_range": {"start": <int>, "end": <int>}
}
}
],
"overall_correctness": "patch is correct" | "patch is incorrect",
"overall_explanation": "<1-3 sentence explanation justifying the overall_correctness verdict>",
"overall_confidence_score": <float 0.0-1.0>
}
```
## Questions
### Why separate out its own message history?
We want the review thread to match the training of our review models as
much as possible -- that means using a custom prompt, removing user
instructions, and starting a clean chat history.
We also want to make sure the review thread doesn't leak into the parent
thread.
### Why do this as a mode, vs. sub-agents?
1. We want review to be a synchronous task, so it's fine for now to do a
bespoke implementation.
2. We're still unclear about the final structure for sub-agents. We'd
prefer to land this quickly and then refactor into sub-agents without
rushing that implementation.
- Prefer ours for TUI and core/codex.rs
- Prefer theirs for conversation_history, model_info, tests, Cargo.lock
- Add compat prompt, history.keep_last_messages, import get_model_info
- Remove dead code to ensure zero warnings
Build: ./build-fast.sh PASS (no warnings)
## Compact feature:
1. Stops the model when the context window become too large
2. Add a user turn, asking for the model to summarize
3. Build a bridge that contains all the previous user message + the
summary. Rendered from a template
4. Start sampling again from a clean conversation with only that bridge
It turns out that we want slightly different behavior for the
`SetDefaultModel` RPC because some models do not work with reasoning
(like GPT-4.1), so we should be able to explicitly clear this value.
Verified in `codex-rs/mcp-server/tests/suite/set_default_model.rs`.
This adds `SetDefaultModel`, which takes `model` and `reasoning_effort`
as optional fields. If set, the field will overwrite what is in the
user's `config.toml`.
This reuses logic that was added to support the `/model` command in the
TUI: https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/2799.
`ClientRequest::NewConversation` picks up the reasoning level from the user's defaults in `config.toml`, so it should be reported in `NewConversationResponse`.
This PR does the following:
* Adds the ability to paste or type an API key.
* Removes the `preferred_auth_method` config option. The last login
method is always persisted in auth.json, so this isn't needed.
* If OPENAI_API_KEY env variable is defined, the value is used to
prepopulate the new UI. The env variable is otherwise ignored by the
CLI.
* Adds a new MCP server entry point "login_api_key" so we can implement
this same API key behavior for the VS Code extension.

This PR changes get history op to get path. Then, forking will use a
path. This will help us have one unified codepath for resuming/forking
conversations. Will also help in having rollout history in order. It
also fixes a bug where you won't see the UI when resuming after forking.
## Unified PTY-Based Exec Tool
Note: this requires to have this flag in the config:
`use_experimental_unified_exec_tool=true`
- Adds a PTY-backed interactive exec feature (“unified_exec”) with
session reuse via
session_id, bounded output (128 KiB), and timeout clamping (≤ 60 s).
- Protocol: introduces ResponseItem::UnifiedExec { session_id,
arguments, timeout_ms }.
- Tools: exposes unified_exec as a function tool (Responses API);
excluded from Chat
Completions payload while still supported in tool lists.
- Path handling: resolves commands via PATH (or explicit paths), with
UTF‑8/newline‑aware
truncation (truncate_middle).
- Tests: cover command parsing, path resolution, session
persistence/cleanup, multi‑session
isolation, timeouts, and truncation behavior.
This adds a simple endpoint that provides the email address encoded in
`$CODEX_HOME/auth.json`.
As noted, for now, we do not hit the server to verify this is the user's
true email address.
This PR adds an `images` field to the existing `UserMessageEvent` so we
can encode zero or more images associated with a user message. This
allows images to be restored when conversations are restored.
Adds support for `ArchiveConversation` in the JSON-RPC server that takes
a `(ConversationId, PathBuf)` pair and:
- verifies the `ConversationId` corresponds to the rollout id at the
`PathBuf`
- if so, invokes
`ConversationManager.remove_conversation(ConversationId)`
- if the `CodexConversation` was in memory, send `Shutdown` and wait for
`ShutdownComplete` with a timeout
- moves the `.jsonl` file to `$CODEX_HOME/archived_sessions`

- Prefer ours for TUI/CLI and workflows; theirs for protocol where safe
- Adopt upstream rollout_path in NewConversationResponse; wire through SessionConfiguredEvent
- Add TS derives for protocol types to satisfy upstream TS schema
- Keep core API re-exports and models alias intact
Verification: scripts/upstream-merge/verify.sh passed; ./build-fast.sh clean (no warnings)
Adding the `rollout_path` to the `NewConversationResponse` makes it so a
client can perform subsequent operations on a `(ConversationId,
PathBuf)` pair. #3353 will introduce support for `ArchiveConversation`.

* __->__ #3352
This PR does multiple things that are necessary for conversation resume
to work from the extension. I wanted to make sure everything worked so
these changes wound up in one PR:
1. Generate more ts types
2. Resume rollout history files rather than create a new one every time
it is resumed so you don't see a duplicate conversation in history for
every resume. Chatted with @aibrahim-oai to verify this
3. Return conversation_id in conversation summaries
4. [Cleanup] Use serde and strong types for a lot of the rollout file
parsing
- In the bottom line of the TUI, print the number of tokens to 3 sigfigs
with an SI suffix, e.g. "1.23K".
- Elsewhere where we print a number, I figure it's worthwhile to print
the exact number, because e.g. it's a summary of your session. Here we print
the numbers comma-separated.
