This adds a tool the model can call to update a plan. The tool doesn't
actually _do_ anything but it gives clients a chance to read and render
the structured plan. We will likely iterate on the prompt and tools
exposed for planning over time.
Always store the entire conversation history.
Request encrypted COT when not storing Responses.
Send entire input context instead of sending previous_response_id
## Summary

- inject these settings in tests instead of mutating env vars
- plumb Config values through client and chat completions logic
- document new configuration options
## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-core --no-run`

- Added support for message and reasoning deltas
- Skipped adding the support in the cli and tui for later
- Commented a failing test (wrong merge) that needs fix in a separate
PR.
Side note: I think we need to disable merge when the CI don't pass.
This adds support for two new model provider config options:
- `http_headers` for hardcoded (key, value) pairs
- `env_http_headers` for headers whose values should be read from
environment variables
This also updates the built-in `openai` provider to use this feature to
set the following headers:
- `originator` => `codex_cli_rs`
- `version` => [CLI version]
- `OpenAI-Organization` => `OPENAI_ORGANIZATION` env var
- `OpenAI-Project` => `OPENAI_PROJECT` env var
for consistency with the TypeScript implementation:
bd5a9e8ba9/codex-cli/src/utils/agent/agent-loop.ts (L321-L329)
While here, this also consolidates some logic that was duplicated across
`client.rs` and `chat_completions.rs` by introducing
`ModelProviderInfo.create_request_builder()`.
Resolves https://github.com/openai/codex/discussions/1152
As discovered in https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/1365, the Azure
provider needs to be able to specify `api-version` as a query param, so
this PR introduces a generic `query_params` option to the
`model_providers` config so that an Azure provider can be defined as
follows:
```toml
[model_providers.azure]
name = "Azure"
base_url = "https://YOUR_PROJECT_NAME.openai.azure.com/openai"
env_key = "AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY"
query_params = { api-version = "2025-04-01-preview" }
```
This PR also updates the docs with this example.
While here, we also update `wire_api` to default to `"chat"`, as that is
likely the common case for someone defining an external provider.
Fixes https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/1365.
When using the OpenAI Responses API, we now record the `usage` field for
a `"response.completed"` event, which includes metrics about the number
of tokens consumed. We also introduce `openai_model_info.rs`, which
includes current data about the most common OpenAI models available via
the API (specifically `context_window` and `max_output_tokens`). If
Codex does not recognize the model, you can set `model_context_window`
and `model_max_output_tokens` explicitly in `config.toml`.
When then introduce a new event type to `protocol.rs`, `TokenCount`,
which includes the `TokenUsage` for the most recent turn.
Finally, we update the TUI to record the running sum of tokens used so
the percentage of available context window remaining can be reported via
the placeholder text for the composer:

We could certainly get much fancier with this (such as reporting the
estimated cost of the conversation), but for now, we are just trying to
achieve feature parity with the TypeScript CLI.
Though arguably this improves upon the TypeScript CLI, as the TypeScript
CLI uses heuristics to estimate the number of tokens used rather than
using the `usage` information directly:
296996d74e/codex-cli/src/utils/approximate-tokens-used.ts (L3-L16)
Fixes https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/1242
As explained in detail in the doc comment for `ParseMode::Lenient`, we
have observed that GPT-4.1 does not always generate a valid invocation
of `apply_patch`. Fortunately, the error is predictable, so we introduce
some new logic to the `codex-apply-patch` crate to recover from this
error.
Because we would like to avoid this becoming a de facto standard (as it
would be incompatible if `apply_patch` were provided as an actual
executable, unless we also introduced the lenient behavior in the
executable, as well), we require passing `ParseMode::Lenient` to
`parse_patch_text()` to make it clear that the caller is opting into
supporting this special case.
Note the analogous change to the TypeScript CLI was
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/930. In addition to changing the
accepted input to `apply_patch`, it also introduced additional
instructions for the model, which we include in this PR.
Note that `apply-patch` does not depend on either `regex` or
`regex-lite`, so some of the checks are slightly more verbose to avoid
introducing this dependency.
That said, this PR does not leverage the existing
`extract_heredoc_body_from_apply_patch_command()`, which depends on
`tree-sitter` and `tree-sitter-bash`:
5a5aa89914/codex-rs/apply-patch/src/lib.rs (L191-L246)
though perhaps it should.
Prior to this PR, there were two big misses in `chat_completions.rs`:
1. The loop in `stream_chat_completions()` was only including items of
type `ResponseItem::Message` when building up the `"messages"` JSON for
the `POST` request to the `chat/completions` endpoint. This fixes things
by ensuring other variants (`FunctionCall`, `LocalShellCall`, and
`FunctionCallOutput`) are included, as well.
2. In `process_chat_sse()`, we were not recording tool calls and were
only emitting items of type
`ResponseEvent::OutputItemDone(ResponseItem::Message)` to the stream.
Now we introduce `FunctionCallState`, which is used to accumulate the
`delta`s of type `tool_calls`, so we can ultimately emit a
`ResponseItem::FunctionCall`, when appropriate.
While function calling now appears to work for chat completions with my
local testing, I believe that there are still edge cases that are not
covered and that this codepath would benefit from a battery of
integration tests. (As part of that further cleanup, we should also work
to support streaming responses in the UI.)
The other important part of this PR is some cleanup in
`core/src/codex.rs`. In particular, it was hard to reason about how
`run_task()` was building up the list of messages to include in a
request across the various cases:
- Responses API
- Chat Completions API
- Responses API used in concert with ZDR
I like to think things are a bit cleaner now where:
- `zdr_transcript` (if present) contains all messages in the history of
the conversation, which includes function call outputs that have not
been sent back to the model yet
- `pending_input` includes any messages the user has submitted while the
turn is in flight that need to be injected as part of the next `POST` to
the model
- `input_for_next_turn` includes the tool call outputs that have not
been sent back to the model yet
The main motivator behind this PR is that `stream_chat_completions()`
was not adding the `"tools"` entry to the payload posted to the
`/chat/completions` endpoint. This (1) refactors the existing logic to
build up the `"tools"` JSON from `client.rs` into `openai_tools.rs`, and
(2) updates the use of responses API (`client.rs`) and chat completions
API (`chat_completions.rs`) to both use it.
Note this PR alone is not sufficient to get tool calling from chat
completions working: that is done in
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/1167.

I had seen issues where `codex-rs` would not always write files without
me pressuring it to do so, and between that and the report of
https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/900, I decided to look into this
further. I found two serious issues with agent instructions:
(1) We were only sending agent instructions on the first turn, but
looking at the TypeScript code, we should be sending them on every turn.
(2) There was a serious issue where the agent instructions were
frequently lost:
* The TypeScript CLI appears to keep writing `~/.codex/instructions.md`:
55142e3e6c/codex-cli/src/utils/config.ts (L586)
* If `instructions.md` is present, the Rust CLI uses the contents of it
INSTEAD OF the default prompt, even if `instructions.md` is empty:
55142e3e6c/codex-rs/core/src/config.rs (L202-L203)
The combination of these two things means that I have been using
`codex-rs` without these key instructions:
https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/main/codex-rs/core/prompt.md
Looking at the TypeScript code, it appears we should be concatenating
these three items every time (if they exist):
* `prompt.md`
* `~/.codex/instructions.md`
* nearest `AGENTS.md`
This PR fixes things so that:
* `Config.instructions` is `None` if `instructions.md` is empty
* `Payload.instructions` is now `&'a str` instead of `Option<&'a
String>` because we should always have _something_ to send
* `Prompt` now has a `get_full_instructions()` helper that returns a
`Cow<str>` that will always include the agent instructions first.
This is a substantial PR to add support for the chat completions API,
which in turn makes it possible to use non-OpenAI model providers (just
like in the TypeScript CLI):
* It moves a number of structs from `client.rs` to `client_common.rs` so
they can be shared.
* It introduces support for the chat completions API in
`chat_completions.rs`.
* It updates `ModelProviderInfo` so that `env_key` is `Option<String>`
instead of `String` (for e.g., ollama) and adds a `wire_api` field
* It updates `client.rs` to choose between `stream_responses()` and
`stream_chat_completions()` based on the `wire_api` for the
`ModelProviderInfo`
* It updates the `exec` and TUI CLIs to no longer fail if the
`OPENAI_API_KEY` environment variable is not set
* It updates the TUI so that `EventMsg::Error` is displayed more
prominently when it occurs, particularly now that it is important to
alert users to the `CodexErr::EnvVar` variant.
* `CodexErr::EnvVar` was updated to include an optional `instructions`
field so we can preserve the behavior where we direct users to
https://platform.openai.com if `OPENAI_API_KEY` is not set.
* Cleaned up the "welcome message" in the TUI to ensure the model
provider is displayed.
* Updated the docs in `codex-rs/README.md`.
To exercise the chat completions API from OpenAI models, I added the
following to my `config.toml`:
```toml
model = "gpt-4o"
model_provider = "openai-chat-completions"
[model_providers.openai-chat-completions]
name = "OpenAI using Chat Completions"
base_url = "https://api.openai.com/v1"
env_key = "OPENAI_API_KEY"
wire_api = "chat"
```
Though to test a non-OpenAI provider, I installed ollama with mistral
locally on my Mac because ChatGPT said that would be a good match for my
hardware:
```shell
brew install ollama
ollama serve
ollama pull mistral
```
Then I added the following to my `~/.codex/config.toml`:
```toml
model = "mistral"
model_provider = "ollama"
```
Note this code could certainly use more test coverage, but I want to get
this in so folks can start playing with it.
For reference, I believe https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/247 was
roughly the comparable PR on the TypeScript side.
