moves TranscriptApp to be an "overlay", and continue to pump AppEvents
while the transcript is active, but forward all tui handling to the
transcript screen.
this is in preparation for adding more separate "modes" to the tui, in
particular, a "transcript mode" to view a full history once #2316 lands.
1. split apart "tui events" from "app events".
2. remove onboarding-related events from AppEvent.
3. move several general drawing tools out of App and into a new Tui
class
## Summary
Adds a `/mcp` command to list active tools. We can extend this command
to allow configuration of MCP tools, but for now a simple list command
will help debug if your config.toml and your tools are working as
expected.
Motivation: we have users who uses their API key although they want to
use ChatGPT account. We want to give them the chance to always login
with their account.
This PR displays login options when the user is not signed in with
ChatGPT. Even if you have set an OpenAI API key as an environment
variable, you will still be prompted to log in with ChatGPT.
We’ve also added a new flag, `always_use_api_key_signing` false by
default, which ensures you are never asked to log in with ChatGPT and
always defaults to using your API key.

This PR:
* Added the clippy.toml to configure allowable expect / unwrap usage in
tests
* Removed as many expect/allow lines as possible from tests
* moved a bunch of allows to expects where possible
Note: in integration tests, non `#[test]` helper functions are not
covered by this so we had to leave a few lingering `expect(expect_used`
checks around
instead of each shimmer needing to have its own animation thread, have
render_ref schedule a new frame if it wants one and coalesce to the
earliest next frame. this also makes the animations
frame-timing-independent, based on start time instead of frame count.
This PR does two things because after I got deep into the first one I
started pulling on the thread to the second:
- Makes `ConversationManager` the place where all in-memory
conversations are created and stored. Previously, `MessageProcessor` in
the `codex-mcp-server` crate was doing this via its `session_map`, but
this is something that should be done in `codex-core`.
- It unwinds the `ctrl_c: tokio::sync::Notify` that was threaded
throughout our code. I think this made sense at one time, but now that
we handle Ctrl-C within the TUI and have a proper `Op::Interrupt` event,
I don't think this was quite right, so I removed it. For `codex exec`
and `codex proto`, we now use `tokio::signal::ctrl_c()` directly, but we
no longer make `Notify` a field of `Codex` or `CodexConversation`.
Changes of note:
- Adds the files `conversation_manager.rs` and `codex_conversation.rs`
to `codex-core`.
- `Codex` and `CodexSpawnOk` are no longer exported from `codex-core`:
other crates must use `CodexConversation` instead (which is created via
`ConversationManager`).
- `core/src/codex_wrapper.rs` has been deleted in favor of
`ConversationManager`.
- `ConversationManager::new_conversation()` returns `NewConversation`,
which is in line with the `new_conversation` tool we want to add to the
MCP server. Note `NewConversation` includes `SessionConfiguredEvent`, so
we eliminate checks in cases like `codex-rs/core/tests/client.rs` to
verify `SessionConfiguredEvent` is the first event because that is now
internal to `ConversationManager`.
- Quite a bit of code was deleted from
`codex-rs/mcp-server/src/message_processor.rs` since it no longer has to
manage multiple conversations itself: it goes through
`ConversationManager` instead.
- `core/tests/live_agent.rs` has been deleted because I had to update a
bunch of tests and all the tests in here were ignored, and I don't think
anyone ever ran them, so this was just technical debt, at this point.
- Removed `notify_on_sigint()` from `util.rs` (and in a follow-up, I
hope to refactor the blandly-named `util.rs` into more descriptive
files).
- In general, I started replacing local variables named `codex` as
`conversation`, where appropriate, though admittedly I didn't do it
through all the integration tests because that would have added a lot of
noise to this PR.

Wait for newlines, then render markdown on a line by line basis. Word wrap it for the current terminal size and then spit it out line by line into the UI. Also adds tests and fixes some UI regressions.
Moves `use codex_core::protocol::EventMsg` inside the block annotated
with `#[cfg(debug_assertions)]` since that was the only place in the
file that was using it.
This eliminates the `warning: unused import:` when building with `cargo
build --release` in `cargo-rs/tui`.
Note this was not breaking CI because we do not build release builds on
CI since we're impatient :P
## Summary
- allow Esc to interrupt the current session when a task is running
- document Esc as an interrupt key in status indicator

We wait until we have an entire newline, then format it with markdown and stream in to the UI. This reduces time to first token but is the right thing to do with our current rendering model IMO. Also lets us add word wrapping!
## Summary
In collaboration with @gpeal: upgrade the onboarding flow, and persist
user settings.

## Summary
- support `codex logout` via new subcommand and helper that removes the
stored `auth.json`
- expose a `logout` function in `codex-login` and test it
- add `/logout` slash command in the TUI; command list is filtered when
not logged in and the handler deletes `auth.json` then exits
## Testing
- `just fix` *(fails: failed to get `diffy` from crates.io)*
- `cargo test --all-features` *(fails: failed to get `diffy` from
crates.io)*

This will make @ more discoverable (even though it is currently not
super useful, IMO it should be used to bring files into context from
outside CWD)

This sets up the scaffolding and basic flow for a TUI onboarding
experience. It covers sign in with ChatGPT, env auth, as well as some
safety guidance.
Next up:
1. Replace the git warning screen
2. Use this to configure default approval/sandbox modes
Note the shimmer flashes are from me slicing the video, not jank.

- Arguably a bugfix as previously CTRL-Z didn't do anything.
- Only in TUI mode for now. This may make sense in other modes... to be
researched.
- The TUI runs the terminal in raw mode and the signals arrive as key
events, so we handle CTRL-Z as a key event just like CTRL-C.
- Not adding UI for it as a composer redesign is coming, and we can just
add it then.
- We should follow with CTRL-Z a second time doing the native terminal
action.
- Added a `/status` command, which will be useful when we update the
home screen to print less status.
- Moved `create_config_summary_entries` to common since it's used in a
few places.
- Noticed we inconsistently had periods in slash command descriptions
and just removed them everywhere.
- Noticed the diff description was overflowing so made it shorter.
This replaces tui-textarea with a custom textarea component.
Key differences:
1. wrapped lines
2. better unicode handling
3. uses the native terminal cursor
This should perhaps be spun out into its own separate crate at some
point, but for now it's convenient to have it in-tree.
- Add operation to summarize the context so far.
- The operation runs a compact task that summarizes the context.
- The operation clear the previous context to free the context window
- The operation didn't use `run_task` to avoid corrupting the session
- Add /compact in the tui

This delays the call to insert_history_lines until a redraw is
happening. Crucially, the new lines are inserted _after the viewport is
resized_. This results in fewer stray blank lines below the viewport
when modals (e.g. user approval) are closed.
when we enabled KKP in https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/1743, we
started receiving keyup events, but didn't expect them anywhere in our
code. for now, just don't dispatch them at all.
this fixes a couple of panics that would happen when trying to render
something larger than the terminal, or insert history lines when the top
of the viewport is at y=0.
Simplify and improve many UI elements.
* Remove all-around borders in most places. These interact badly with
terminal resizing and look heavy. Prefer left-side-only borders.
* Make the viewport adjust to the size of its contents.
* <kbd>/</kbd> and <kbd>@</kbd> autocomplete boxes appear below the
prompt, instead of above it.
* Restyle the keyboard shortcut hints & move them to the left.
* Restyle the approval dialog.
* Use synchronized rendering to avoid flashing during rerenders.

Proof of concept for a resizable viewport.
The general approach here is to duplicate the `Terminal` struct from
ratatui, but with our own logic. This is a "light fork" in that we are
still using all the base ratatui functions (`Buffer`, `Widget` and so
on), but we're doing our own bookkeeping at the top level to determine
where to draw everything.
This approach could use improvement—e.g, when the window is resized to a
smaller size, if the UI wraps, we don't correctly clear out the
artifacts from wrapping. This is possible with a little work (i.e.
tracking what parts of our UI would have been wrapped), but this
behavior is at least at par with the existing behavior.
