 migration; if compliance is difficult, ask the user how to proceed.
 
-- In app-server protocol types, use `ApiPathString` for backwards compatibility during the URI
+- In app-server protocol types, use `LegacyAppPathString` for backwards compatibility during the URI
   migration. At the protocol boundary, convert it to `PathUri` and use `PathUri` internally. For
   host-local logic, such as some config values, use `AbsolutePathBuf` or `PathBuf` instead.
 - In exec-server protocol types, use `PathUri`. Internally, use `PathUri` or `AbsolutePathBuf` as
   appropriate.
 - In dependencies shared by both servers, use `PathUri` or separate APIs that decouple their use
   cases.
+- Tool call arguments that the model is expected to generate should be deserialized as regular
+  `String`s with feature-specific path handling code.
+
+## Migration requirements
+
+Keep these requirements in mind while migrating code to conform with the above guidelines:
+
+* existing app-server clients keep sending and receiving legacy native-path strings
+* app-server can retain and manipulate foreign-platform path URIs
+* exec-server APIs use file:// URIs
+* local-only operation must not change model-visible text
+* model tool arguments may contain raw relative or absolute paths for any OS
+* path reasoning must work before the related environment has come online
+* URIs cannot explicitly encode the executor’s path convention or operating system
+* users must not configure the environment’s OS/path convention explicitly
+* URIs should not yet be stored in rollouts, databases, or other persistent storage
+* path conversion errors: fail-closed for security-relevant paths, fail-open for UI/diagnostics
+* prefer small focused methods on `PathUri` or `LegacyAppPathString` over local helpers
+* represent `PathUri` values as URIs in diagnostics
+
+It is OK if the conversion between paths and URIs is somewhat lossy as long as it will do the right
+thing for real users.
+
+Migrating to URIs should not add significant new failure modes. We will need to surface errors in
+some places that were previously infallible but it should be kept to a minimum.

+`send-message` and `send-message-v2` handle `request_user_input` server requests interactively.
+When Codex asks a question, choose a numbered option (or `o` for a free-form answer when offered)
+and the client will send the response and continue streaming the same turn.
+
+## Testing Plugin Analytics
+
+The `plugin-analytics-smoke` command exercises `plugin/installed`, plugin
+enable/disable config writes, and a structured plugin mention through one
+app-server connection. Analytics are captured to a local JSONL file and are
+not sent to the analytics backend. The model turn uses a loopback Responses
+API server.
+
+The selected plugin must already be installed and enabled remotely, and the
+active Codex profile must be authenticated. On a fresh local cache, the command
+retries ephemeral turns while the installed remote bundle finishes syncing.
+
+```bash
+# Build a debug Codex binary; analytics capture is unavailable in release builds.
+cargo build -p codex-cli --bin codex
+
+cargo run -p codex-app-server-test-client -- \
+  --codex-bin ./target/debug/codex \
+  plugin-analytics-smoke \
+  --plugin-id linear@openai-curated-remote
+```
+
+Use `--capture-file /tmp/plugin-analytics.jsonl` to select the output path.
+The command validates one `codex_plugin_disabled`, `codex_plugin_enabled`, and
+`codex_plugin_used` event with the expected local plugin identity and capability
+metadata. The enabled and disabled events come from successful writes to the
+temporary config; the command does not mutate the remote enabled state. It
+prints the events and leaves the JSONL file in place for inspection. It does not
+install or uninstall plugins and does not modify the profile's persistent
+config.
+
+### Testing remote install and uninstall analytics
+
+`plugin-analytics-mutation-smoke` is a manually invoked live smoke test. It
+contacts the configured remote plugin API and temporarily changes the active
+account's installed-plugin state. It is not run by `cargo test`, `just test`,
+or CI.
+
+Choose a remote plugin that is available to the active account and is not
+currently installed. The command refuses to run when the plugin is already
+installed, installs it, validates `codex_plugin_installed`, uninstalls it, and
+verifies that the original uninstalled state was restored. The current install
+event uses the backend ID as `plugin_id`. Uninstall is part of cleanup but is
+not yet an analytics assertion.
+
+`--remote-plugin-id` takes the backend ID, such as `plugins~Plugin_...`, not the
+local `<plugin>@<marketplace>` ID.
+
+```bash
+cargo run -p codex-app-server-test-client -- \
+  --codex-bin ./target/debug/codex \
+  plugin-analytics-mutation-smoke \
+  --remote-plugin-id <REMOTE_PLUGIN_ID> \
+  --confirm-account-mutation \
+  --capture-file /tmp/plugin-mutation-analytics.jsonl
+```
+
+Analytics use the normal queue, reduction, batching, and serialization path,
+but the debug capture destination suppresses analytics network delivery. The
+command prints one of these final states:
+
+- `PASS`: the install event validated and the plugin is uninstalled.
+- `FAIL-CLEAN`: validation failed, but the original uninstalled state was
+  restored.
+- `FAIL-LOCAL-CACHE`: the backend is uninstalled, but local cleanup reported
+  an error.
+- `FAIL-DIRTY`: cleanup failed and the plugin still appears installed.
+- `FAIL-UNKNOWN`: the command could not verify the final installed state.
+
+For a dirty or uncertain result, retry cleanup with:
+
+```bash
+cargo run -p codex-app-server-test-client -- \
+  --codex-bin ./target/debug/codex \
+  plugin-remote-uninstall \
+  --remote-plugin-id <REMOTE_PLUGIN_ID> \
+  --confirm-account-mutation
+```
+
+Cleanup does not require analytics capture or a debug Codex binary. When the
+smoke uses global `--config` overrides, its printed recovery command preserves
+them so cleanup targets the same backend and account.
+

 ## API Overview
 
-- `thread/start` — create a new thread; emits `thread/started` (including the current `thread.status`) and auto-subscribes you to turn/item events for that thread. When the request includes a `cwd` and the resolved sandbox is `workspace-write` or full access, app-server also marks that project as trusted in the user `config.toml`. Pass `sessionStartSource: "clear"` when starting a replacement thread after clearing the current session so `SessionStart` hooks receive `source: "clear"` instead of the default `"startup"`. Experimental `runtimeWorkspaceRoots` replaces the thread-scoped runtime workspace roots used to materialize `:workspace_roots`; paths must be absolute. For permissions, prefer experimental `permissions` profile selection by id; the legacy `sandbox` shorthand is still accepted but cannot be combined with `permissions`. Experimental `environments` selects the sticky execution environments for turns on the thread; omit it to use the server default, pass `[]` to disable environments, or pass explicit environment ids with per-environment `cwd`. Experimental `selectedCapabilityRoots` selects environment-owned plugin or standalone-skill roots. Skills found below those roots are listed and read through the owning environment. Stdio MCP servers declared by selected plugins are also started in that environment; HTTP MCP declarations remain inactive.
-- `thread/resume` — reopen an existing thread by id so subsequent `turn/start` calls append to it. Accepts the same permission override rules as `thread/start`.
+- `thread/start` — create a new thread; emits `thread/started` (including the current `thread.status`) and auto-subscribes you to turn/item events for that thread.

For permissions, prefer experimental `permissions` profile selection by id; the legacy `sandbox` shorthand is still accepted but cannot be combined with `permissions`. Experimental `multiAgentMode` selects the initial thread mode and defaults to `explicitRequestOnly` when omitted; use `none` to keep multi-agent tools available without injecting mode instructions. Experimental `environments` selects the sticky execution environments for turns on the thread; omit it to use the server default, pass `[]` to disable environments, or pass explicit environment ids with per-environment `cwd`. Experimental `selectedCapabilityRoots` selects environment-owned plugin or standalone-skill roots. Skills found below those roots are listed and read through the owning environment. Stdio MCP servers declared by selected plugins are also started in that environment; HTTP MCP declarations remain inactive.
+- `thread/resume` — reopen an existing thread by id so subsequent `turn/start` calls append to it. Accepts the same permission override rules as `thread/start`. Multi-agent mode restores the last effective mode from rollout history when available; clients can select another mode on the first `turn/start`.
 - `thread/fork` — fork an existing thread into a new thread id by copying the stored history; if the source thread is currently mid-turn, the fork records the same interruption marker as `turn/interrupt` instead of inheriting an unmarked partial turn suffix. The returned `thread.forkedFromId` points at the source thread when known. Accepts `ephemeral: true` for an in-memory temporary fork, emits `thread/started` (including the current `thread.status`), and auto-subscribes you to turn/item events for the new thread. Experimental clients can pass `excludeTurns: true` when they plan to page fork history via `thread/turns/list` instead of receiving the full turn array immediately. Accepts the same permission override rules as `thread/start`.
-- `thread/start`, `thread/resume`, and `thread/fork` responses include the legacy `sandbox` compatibility projection. Experimental clients can read `runtimeWorkspaceRoots` for the thread-scoped runtime roots and `activePermissionProfile` for the named or implicit built-in profile identity/provenance when known.
+- `thread/start`, `thread/resume`, and `thread/fork` responses include the legacy `sandbox` compatibility projection. `instructionSources` lists loaded instruction files using each source environment's native absolute path syntax, including files loaded from remote environments. Experimental clients can read `runtimeWorkspaceRoots` for the thread-scoped runtime roots and `activePermissionProfile` for the named or implicit built-in profile identity/provenance when known. Their experimental `multiAgentMode` field, and the corresponding thread setting, report the thread's current mode. Turn construction separately determines whether that mode is applicable to the selected model and runtime configuration.
 - `thread/list` — page through stored threads; supports cursor-based pagination and optional `modelProviders`, `sourceKinds`, `archived`, `cwd`, and `searchTerm` filters. Experimental clients can use `parentThreadId` to filter direct spawned children represented by persisted spawn-edge state. Review and Guardian threads are not included because they do not participate in that spawn-edge lifecycle. Each returned `thread` includes `status` (`ThreadStatus`), defaulting to `notLoaded` when the thread is not currently loaded. Subagent threads also include `parentThreadId` when the immediate parent is known.
 - `thread/loaded/list` — list the thread ids currently loaded in memory.
 - `thread/read` — read a stored thread by id without resuming it; optionally include turns via `includeTurns`. The returned `thread` includes `status` (`ThreadStatus`), defaulting to `notLoaded` when the thread is not currently loaded.

Omitted fields leave settings unchanged; `serviceTier: null` clears the tier; `sandboxPolicy` and `permissions` cannot be combined.

 Desktop hosts that provide upstream attestation should set `capabilities.requestAttestation` during `initialize` and handle the server-initiated `attestation/generate` request. App-server issues it just in time before ChatGPT Codex requests that forward `x-oai-attestation`; the client responds with `{ "token": "v1.<opaque>" }`, where `token` is an opaque client-owned value. When app-server receives a client response, it forwards a consistent outer envelope such as `{ "v": 1, "s": 0, "t": "v1.<opaque>" }`, where `t` contains the client token unchanged. If app-server attempts attestation but fails within its own boundary, it sends the same envelope shape with an app-server status code and without `t` (`1 = timeout`, `2 = request failed`, `3 = request canceled`, `4 = malformed response`). If no initialized client opted into attestation, app-server omits `x-oai-attestation` for that upstream request.

+When `[features.current_time_reminder]` is enabled with `clock_source = "external"`, app-server sends the client subscribed to the thread an experimental `currentTime/read` request with `{ "threadId": "thr_123" }` when a time reminder is due. The client responds with `{ "currentTimeAt": 1781717655 }`, where `currentTimeAt` is an integer Unix timestamp in seconds. A failed, canceled, timed-out, or malformed response stops the turn before the model request is sent.

 Invoke an app by inserting `$<app-slug>` in the text input. The slug is derived from the app name and lowercased with non-alphanumeric characters replaced by `-` (for example, "Demo App" becomes `$demo-app`). Add a `mention` input item (recommended) so the server uses the exact `app://<connector-id>` path rather than guessing by name.

-Files called AGENTS.md commonly appear in many places inside a container - at "/", in "~", deep within git repositories, or in any other directory; their location is not limited to version-controlled folders.
-
-Their purpose is to pass along human guidance to you, the agent. Such guidance can include coding standards, explanations of the project layout, steps for building or testing, and even wording that must accompany a GitHub pull-request description produced by the agent; all of it is to be followed.
-
-Each AGENTS.md governs the entire directory that contains it and every child directory beneath that point. Whenever you change a file, you have to comply with every AGENTS.md whose scope covers that file. Naming conventions, stylistic rules and similar directives are restricted to the code that falls inside that scope unless the document explicitly states otherwise.
-
-When two AGENTS.md files disagree, the one located deeper in the directory structure overrides the higher-level file, while instructions given directly in the prompt by the system, developer, or user outrank any AGENTS.md content.

+# Escalation Requests
+
+Commands are run outside the sandbox after approval. The command string is split into independent command segments at shell control operators, including but not limited to:
+
+- Pipes: |
+- Logical operators: &&, ||
+- Command separators: ;
+- Subshell boundaries: (...), $()
+
+Each resulting segment is evaluated independently for sandbox restrictions and approval requirements.
+
+Example:
+
+git pull | tee output.txt
+
+This is treated as two command segments:
+
+["git", "pull"]
+
+["tee", "output.txt"]
+
+Commands that use more advanced shell features like redirection (>, >>, <), substitutions ($(...), ...), environment variables (FOO=bar), or wildcard patterns (*, ?) require care because each independent command segment is evaluated separately.
+
+## How to request escalation
+
+IMPORTANT: To request approval to execute a command that will require escalated privileges:
+
+- Provide the `sandbox_permissions` parameter with the value `"require_escalated"`
+- Include a concise `justification` parameter that explains why escalated privileges are needed.
+- Do not include a `prefix_rule` parameter.
+
+## When to request escalation
+
+While commands are running inside the sandbox, here are some scenarios that justify escalation:
+
+- When the sandbox is likely to block a command needed for the task, request escalation up front.
+- Request escalation for commands that need write access outside writable roots, such as tests that write to `/var`.
+- Request escalation for git operations that may write lock files, such as updating the index or refs.
+- Request escalation for commands that may need network access, including HTTP calls, package registries, internal services, data-service APIs, remote queries, data fetches, or live probes.
+- Request escalation for commands that may need remote authentication, cluster, cloud, or database access.
+- Request escalation for commands that may need process, cache, or other environment access outside the sandbox.
+- If a sandboxed attempt fails with sandboxing or likely network symptoms, including DNS, connection, authentication, retry, or service endpoint errors, rerun with `sandbox_permissions` set to `"require_escalated"` and include `justification`.
+- If a command may be hanging on sandbox-blocked access, stop after a short timeout and rerun with `require_escalated`.
+- Request escalation before potentially destructive actions, such as `rm` or `git reset`, that the user did not explicitly ask for.
+- When unsure, prefer requesting escalation unnecessarily over failing to request it when needed.
