We continue the separation between `codex app-server` and `codex mcp-server`. In particular, we introduce a new crate, `codex-app-server-protocol`, and migrate `codex-rs/protocol/src/mcp_protocol.rs` into it, renaming it `codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol.rs`. Because `ConversationId` was defined in `mcp_protocol.rs`, we move it into its own file, `codex-rs/protocol/src/conversation_id.rs`, and because it is referenced in a ton of places, we have to touch a lot of files as part of this PR. We also decide to get away from proper JSON-RPC 2.0 semantics, so we also introduce `codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/jsonrpc_lite.rs`, which is basically the same `JSONRPCMessage` type defined in `mcp-types` except with all of the `"jsonrpc": "2.0"` removed. Getting rid of `"jsonrpc": "2.0"` makes our serialization logic considerably simpler, as we can lean heavier on serde to serialize directly into the wire format that we use now.
codex-core
This crate implements the business logic for Codex. It is designed to be used by the various Codex UIs written in Rust.
Dependencies
Note that codex-core makes some assumptions about certain helper utilities being available in the environment. Currently, this
macOS
Expects /usr/bin/sandbox-exec to be present.
Linux
Expects the binary containing codex-core to run the equivalent of codex debug landlock when arg0 is codex-linux-sandbox. See the codex-arg0 crate for details.
All Platforms
Expects the binary containing codex-core to simulate the virtual apply_patch CLI when arg1 is --codex-run-as-apply-patch. See the codex-arg0 crate for details.
