Codex review: needs maintainer review before merge. Reviewed June 8, 2026, 10:54 AM ET / 14:54 UTC. Summary PR surface: Source +38, Tests +102. Total +140 across 3 files. Reproducibility: yes. Current main sends dynamic tool progress results with Review metrics: none identified. Merge readiness Overall follows the weaker of proof and patch quality, so missing proof can cap an otherwise strong patch. Risk before merge

Security Review detailsBest possible solution: Merge the normalized app-server event shape after normal maintainer and CI handling, and track the remaining verbose refresh behavior separately if it still reproduces. Do we have a high-confidence way to reproduce the issue? Yes. Current main sends dynamic tool progress results with Is this the best way to solve the issue? Yes. Normalizing once at the Codex app-server event boundary after sanitization is the narrowest maintainable fix; teaching generic TUI/ACP consumers about Codex AGENTS.md: found and applied where relevant.

Shiny media proof means a screenshot, video, or linked artifact directly shows the changed behavior. Runtime, network, CSP, and security claims still need visible diagnostics. How this review workflow works

Note: this largely fixes the verbose mode issue, but not fully. At times, a new user message sent in the TUI does not show its verbose mode content until the user toggles verbose modes once or twice. |
|
This normalization looks like the right fix for the TUI contract mismatch. One thing I'm unsure about: |
|
Hmm. I'm not sure that any non-text codex output would be tui compliant anyway. The fail loudly vs quietly is worth noting, but I think getting verbose mode back up and running as is is critical; the rest can wait for another day. But something to think about! |

Thanks @bdjben, merged this via squash. This lands the Codex app-server normalization for dynamic tool progress results: emitted progress events now expose sanitized TUI-compatible The remaining verbose-mode refresh/toggle behavior noted above looks separate from this event-shape fix and should be tracked separately if it still reproduces. |
