We currently allow the user to dismiss the login menu via Ctrl+C. This
leaves them in a bad state where they're not auth'ed but have an input
prompt. In the extension, this isn't a problem because we don't allow
the user to dismiss the login screen.
Testing: I confirmed that Ctrl+C no longer dismisses the login menu.
This is an alternative (simpler) fix for a [community
PR](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/3234).
- introduce RenderableItem to support both owned and borrowed children
in composite Renderables
- refactor some of our gnarlier manual layouts, BottomPane and
ChatWidget, to use ColumnRenderable
- Renderable and friends now handle cursor_pos()
## Summary
- replace the word part enum with a simple `is_word_separator` helper
- keep word-boundary logic aligned with the helper and punctuation-aware
behavior
- extend forward/backward deletion tests to cover whitespace around
separators
## Testing
- just fix -p codex-tui
- cargo test -p codex-tui

This value is used to determine whether mid-turn compaction is required.
Reasoning items are only excluded between turns (and soon will start to
be preserved even across turns) so it's incorrect to subtract
reasoning_output_tokens mid term.
This will result in higher values reported between turns but we are also
looking into preserving reasoning items for the entire conversation to
improve performance and caching.
Hi OpenAI Codex team, currently "Visit chatgpt.com/codex/settings/usage
for up-to-date information on rate limits and credits" message in status
card and error messages. For now, without the "https://" prefix, the
link cannot be clicked directly from most terminals or chat interfaces.

The fix is intent to improve this issue:
- It makes the link clickable in terminals that support it, hence better
accessibility
- It follows standard URL formatting practices
- It maintains consistency with other links in the application (like the
existing "https://openai.com/chatgpt/pricing" links)
Thank you!
* Removed sandbox risk categories; feedback indicates that these are not
that useful and "less is more"
* Tweaked the assessment prompt to generate terser answers
* Fixed bug in orchestrator that prevents this feature from being
exposed in the extension
## What?
Fixed error handling in `insert_history_lines_to_writer` where all
terminal operations were silently ignoring errors via `.ok()`.
## Why?
Silent I/O failures could leave the terminal in an inconsistent state
(e.g., scroll region not reset) with no way to debug. This violates Rust
error handling best practices.
## How?
- Changed function signature to return `io::Result<()>`
- Replaced all `.ok()` calls with `?` operator to propagate errors
- Added `tracing::warn!` in wrapper function for backward compatibility
- Updated 15 test call sites to handle Result with `.expect()`
## Testing
- ✅ Pass all tests
## Type of Change
- [x] Bug fix (non-breaking change)

## Summary
- add the `/exit` slash command alongside `/quit` and reuse shared exit
handling
- refactor the chat widget to funnel quit, exit, logout, and shutdown
flows through a common `request_exit` helper
- add focused unit tests that confirm both `/quit` and `/exit` send an
`ExitRequest`
## Testing
- `just fmt`
- `just fix -p codex-tui`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui`

- 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).
There's still some debate about whether we want to expose
`tools.view_image` or `feature.view_image` so those are left unchanged
for now, but this old `include_view_image_tool` config is good-to-go.
Also updated the doc to reflect that `view_image` tool is now by default
true.
## Summary
- add a debug-only `/rollout` slash command that prints the rollout file
path or reports when none is known
- surface the new command in the slash command metadata and cover it
with unit tests

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
feature: Add "!cmd" user shell execution
This change lets users run local shell commands directly from the TUI by
prefixing their input with ! (e.g. !ls). Output is truncated to keep the
exec cell usable, and Ctrl-C cleanly
interrupts long-running commands (e.g. !sleep 10000).
**Summary of changes**
- Route Op::RunUserShellCommand through a dedicated UserShellCommandTask
(core/src/tasks/user_shell.rs), keeping the task logic out of codex.rs.
- Reuse the existing tool router: the task constructs a ToolCall for the
local_shell tool and relies on ShellHandler, so no manual MCP tool
lookup is required.
- Emit exec lifecycle events (ExecCommandBegin/ExecCommandEnd) so the
TUI can show command metadata, live output, and exit status.
**End-to-end flow**
**TUI handling**
1. ChatWidget::submit_user_message (TUI) intercepts messages starting
with !.
2. Non-empty commands dispatch Op::RunUserShellCommand { command };
empty commands surface a help hint.
3. No UserInput items are created, so nothing is enqueued for the model.
**Core submission loop**
4. The submission loop routes the op to handlers::run_user_shell_command
(core/src/codex.rs).
5. A fresh TurnContext is created and Session::spawn_user_shell_command
enqueues UserShellCommandTask.
**Task execution**
6. UserShellCommandTask::run emits TaskStartedEvent, formats the
command, and prepares a ToolCall targeting local_shell.
7. ToolCallRuntime::handle_tool_call dispatches to ShellHandler.
**Shell tool runtime**
8. ShellHandler::run_exec_like launches the process via the unified exec
runtime, honoring sandbox and shell policies, and emits
ExecCommandBegin/End.
9. Stdout/stderr are captured for the UI, but the task does not turn the
resulting ToolOutput into a model response.
**Completion**
10. After ExecCommandEnd, the task finishes without an assistant
message; the session marks it complete and the exec cell displays the
final output.
**Conversation context**
- The command and its output never enter the conversation history or the
model prompt; the flow is local-only.
- Only exec/task events are emitted for UI rendering.
**Demo video**

This fixes an issue where messages sent during the final response stream
would seem to disappear, because the "queued messages" UI wasn't shown
during streaming.
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.
## Summary
- Coerce Windows `workspace-write` configs back to read-only, surface
the forced downgrade in the approvals popup,
and funnel users toward WSL or Full Access.
- Add WSL installation instructions to the Auto preset on Windows while
keeping the preset available for other
platforms.
- Skip the trust-on-first-run prompt on native Windows so new folders
remain read-only without additional
confirmation.
- Expose a structured sandbox policy resolution from config to flag
Windows downgrades and adjust tests (core,
exec, TUI) to reflect the new behavior; provide a Windows-only approvals
snapshot.

fixing drag/drop photos bug in codex
state of the world before:
sometimes, when you drag screenshots into codex, the image does not
properly render into context. instead, the file name is shown in
quotation marks.
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/3c0e540a-505c-4ec0-b634-e9add6a73119
the screenshot is not actually included in agent context. the agent
needs to manually call the view_image tool to see the screenshot. this
can be unreliable especially if the image is part of a longer prompt and
is dependent on the agent going out of its way to view the image.
state of the world after:
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5f2b7bf7-8a3f-4708-85f3-d68a017bfd97
now, images will always be directly embedded into chat context
## Technical Details
- MacOS sends screenshot paths with a narrow no‑break space right before
the “AM/PM” suffix, which used to trigger our non‑ASCII fallback in the
paste burst detector.
- That fallback flushed the partially buffered paste immediately, so the
path arrived in two separate `handle_paste` calls (quoted prefix +
`PM.png'`). The split string could not be normalized to a real path, so
we showed the quoted filename instead of embedding the image.
- We now append non‑ASCII characters into the burst buffer when a burst
is already active. Finder’s payload stays intact, the path normalizes,
and the image attaches automatically.
- When no burst is active (e.g. during IME typing), non‑ASCII characters
still bypass the buffer so text entry remains responsive.
It's pretty amazing we have gotten here without the ability for the
model to see image content from MCP tool calls.
This PR builds off of 4391 and fixes#4819. I would like @KKcorps to get
adequete credit here but I also want to get this fix in ASAP so I gave
him a week to update it and haven't gotten a response so I'm going to
take it across the finish line.
This test highlights how absured the current situation is. I asked the
model to read this image using the Chrome MCP
<img width="2378" height="674" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/9ef52608-72a2-4423-9f5e-7ae36b2b56e0"
/>
After this change, it correctly outputs:
> Captured the page: image dhows a dark terminal-style UI labeled
`OpenAI Codex (v0.0.0)` with prompt `model: gpt-5-codex medium` and
working directory `/codex/codex-rs`
(and more)
Before this change, it said:
> Took the full-page screenshot you asked for. It shows a long,
horizontally repeating pattern of stylized people in orange, light-blue,
and mustard clothing, holding hands in alternating poses against a white
background. No text or other graphics-just rows of flat illustration
stretching off to the right.
Without this change, the Figma, Playwright, Chrome, and other visual MCP
servers are pretty much entirely useless.
I tested this change with the openai respones api as well as a third
party completions api
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
This PR does the following:
1. Changes `try_refresh_token` to handle the case where the endpoint
returns a response without an `id_token`. The OpenID spec indicates that
this field is optional and clients should not assume it's present.
2. Changes the `attempt_stream_responses` to propagate token refresh
errors rather than silently ignoring them.
3. Fixes a typo in a couple of error messages (unrelated to the above,
but something I noticed in passing) - "reconnect" should be spelled
without a hyphen.
This PR does not implement the additional suggestion from @pakrym-oai
that we should sign out when receiving `refresh_token_expired` from the
refresh endpoint. Leaving this as a follow-on because I'm undecided on
whether this should be implemented in `try_refresh_token` or its
callers.
Because conversations that use the Responses API can have encrypted
reasoning messages, trying to resume a conversation with a different
provider could lead to confusing "failed to decrypt" errors. (This is
reproducible by starting a conversation using ChatGPT login and resuming
it as a conversation that uses OpenAI models via Azure.)
This changes `ListConversationsParams` to take a `model_providers:
Option<Vec<String>>` and adds `model_provider` on each
`ConversationSummary` it returns so these cases can be disambiguated.
Note this ended up making changes to
`codex-rs/core/src/rollout/tests.rs` because it had a number of cases
where it expected `Some` for the value of `next_cursor`, but the list of
rollouts was complete, so according to this docstring:
bcd64c7e72/codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol.rs (L334-L337)
If there are no more items to return, then `next_cursor` should be
`None`. This PR updates that logic.

This PR adds support for a model-based summary and risk assessment for
commands that violate the sandbox policy and require user approval. This
aids the user in evaluating whether the command should be approved.
The feature works by taking a failed command and passing it back to the
model and asking it to summarize the command, give it a risk level (low,
medium, high) and a risk category (e.g. "data deletion" or "data
exfiltration"). It uses a new conversation thread so the context in the
existing thread doesn't influence the answer. If the call to the model
fails or takes longer than 5 seconds, it falls back to the current
behavior.
For now, this is an experimental feature and is gated by a config key
`experimental_sandbox_command_assessment`.
Here is a screen shot of the approval prompt showing the risk assessment
and summary.

This shows the aggregated (stdout + stderr) buffer regardless of exit
code.
Many commands output useful / relevant info on stdout when returning a
non-zero exit code, or the same on stderr when returning an exit code of
0. Often, useful info is present on both stdout AND stderr. Also, the
model sees both. So it is confusing to see commands listed as "(no
output)" that in fact do have output, just on the stream that doesn't
match the exit status, or to see some sort of trivial output like "Tests
failed" but lacking any information about the actual failure.
As such, always display the aggregated output in the display. Transcript
mode remains unchanged as it was already displaying the text that the
model sees, which seems correct for transcript mode.
