* Clarify how the shell's handling of quotes affects the interpretation
of TOML values in `--config`/`-c`
* Provide examples of the right way to pass complex TOML values
* The previous explanation incorrectly demonstrated how to pass TOML
values to `--config`/`-c` (misunderstanding how the shell’s handling of
quotes affects things) and would result in invalid invocations of
`codex`.
Seeing timeouts on certain, slow mcp server starting up when codex is
invoked. Before this change, the timeout was a hard-coded 10s. Need the
ability to define arbitrary timeouts on a per-server basis.
## Summary of changes
- Add startup_timeout_ms to McpServerConfig with 10s default when unset
- Use per-server timeout for initialize and tools/list
- Introduce ManagedClient to store client and timeout; rename
LIST_TOOLS_TIMEOUT to DEFAULT_STARTUP_TIMEOUT
- Update docs to document startup_timeout_ms with example and options
table

When item ids are sent to Responses API it will load them from the
database ignoring the provided values. This adds extra latency.
Not having the mode to store requests also allows us to simplify the
code.
## Breaking change
The `disable_response_storage` configuration option is removed.
Adds a TUI resume flow with an interactive picker and quick resume.
- CLI:
- --resume / -r: open picker to resume a prior session
- --continue / -l: resume the most recent session (no picker)
- Behavior on resume: initial history is replayed, welcome banner
hidden, and the first redraw is suppressed to avoid flicker.
- Implementation:
- New tui/src/resume_picker.rs (paginated listing via
RolloutRecorder::list_conversations)
- App::run accepts ResumeSelection; resumes from disk when requested
- ChatWidget refactor with ChatWidgetInit and new_from_existing; replays
initial messages
- Tests: cover picker sorting/preview extraction and resumed-history
rendering.
- Docs: getting-started updated with flags and picker usage.

Details:
1. Adds `Op::ListCustomPrompts` to core.
2. Returns `ListCustomPromptsResponse` with list of `CustomPrompt`
(name, content).
3. TUI calls the operation on load, and populates the custom prompts
(excluding prompts that collide with builtins).
4. Selecting the custom prompt automatically sends the prompt to the
agent.
This PR cleans up the monolithic README by breaking it into a set
navigable pages under docs/ (install, getting started, configuration,
authentication, sandboxing and approvals, platform details, FAQ, ZDR,
contributing, license). The top‑level README is now more concise and
intuitive, (with corrected screenshots).
It also consolidates overlapping content from codex-rs/README.md into
the top‑level docs and updates links accordingly. The codex-rs README
remains in place for now as a pointer and for continuity.
Finally, added an extensive config reference table at the bottom of
docs/config.md.

This improves the release process by introducing
`scripts/publish_to_npm.py` to automate publishing to npm (modulo the
human 2fac step).
As part of this, it updates `.github/workflows/rust-release.yml` to
create the artifact for npm using `npm pack`.
And finally, while it is long overdue, this memorializes the release
process in `docs/release_management.md`.
