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:

Fixes https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/1242
For the `approval_policy` config option, renames `unless-allow-listed`
to `untrusted`. In general, when it comes to exec'ing commands, I think
"trusted" is a more accurate term than "safe."
Also drops the `AskForApproval::AutoEdit` variant, as we were not really
making use of it, anyway.

This is a major redesign of how sandbox configuration works and aims to
fix https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/1248. Specifically, it
replaces `sandbox_permissions` in `config.toml` (and the
`-s`/`--sandbox-permission` CLI flags) with a "table" with effectively
three variants:
```toml
# Safest option: full disk is read-only, but writes and network access are disallowed.
[sandbox]
mode = "read-only"
# The cwd of the Codex task is writable, as well as $TMPDIR on macOS.
# writable_roots can be used to specify additional writable folders.
[sandbox]
mode = "workspace-write"
writable_roots = [] # Optional, defaults to the empty list.
network_access = false # Optional, defaults to false.
# Disable sandboxing: use at your own risk!!!
[sandbox]
mode = "danger-full-access"
```
This should make sandboxing easier to reason about. While we have
dropped support for `-s`, the way it works now is:
- no flags => `read-only`
- `--full-auto` => `workspace-write`
- currently, there is no way to specify `danger-full-access` via a CLI
flag, but we will revisit that as part of
https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/1254
Outstanding issue:
- As noted in the `TODO` on `SandboxPolicy::is_unrestricted()`, we are
still conflating sandbox preferences with approval preferences in that
case, which needs to be cleaned up.
Previous to this PR, we always set `reasoning` when making a request
using the Responses API:
d7245cbbc9/codex-rs/core/src/client.rs (L108-L111)
Though if you tried to use the Rust CLI with `--model gpt-4.1`, this
would fail with:
```shell
"Unsupported parameter: 'reasoning.effort' is not supported with this model."
```
We take a cue from the TypeScript CLI, which does a check on the model
name:
d7245cbbc9/codex-cli/src/utils/agent/agent-loop.ts (L786-L789)
This PR does a similar check, though also adds support for the following
config options:
```
model_reasoning_effort = "low" | "medium" | "high" | "none"
model_reasoning_summary = "auto" | "concise" | "detailed" | "none"
```
This way, if you have a model whose name happens to start with `"o"` (or
`"codex"`?), you can set these to `"none"` to explicitly disable
reasoning, if necessary. (That said, it seems unlikely anyone would use
the Responses API with non-OpenAI models, but we provide an escape
hatch, anyway.)
This PR also updates both the TUI and `codex exec` to show `reasoning
effort` and `reasoning summaries` in the header.
This PR introduces a `hide_agent_reasoning` config option (that defaults
to `false`) that users can enable to make the output less verbose by
suppressing reasoning output.
To test, verified that this includes agent reasoning in the output:
```
echo hello | just exec
```
whereas this does not:
```
echo hello | just exec --config hide_agent_reasoning=false
```
