Performance
Key patterns and highlights from this developer's activity.
Breakdown of growth, maintenance, and fixes effort over time.
Bugs introduced vs. fixed over time.
Reclassifies engineering effort based on bug attribution. Commits that introduced bugs are retrospectively counted as poor investments.
Investment Quality reclassifies engineering effort based on bug attribution data. Commits identified as buggy origins (those that introduced bugs later fixed by someone) have their grow and maintenance time moved into the Wasted Time category. Their waste (fix commits) remains counted as productive. All other commits retain their standard classification: grow is productive, maintenance is maintenance, and waste (fixes) is productive.
The standard model classifies commits as Growth, Maintenance, or Fixes. Investment Quality adds a quality lens: a commit that introduced a bug is retrospectively counted as a poor investment — the engineering time spent on it was wasted because it ultimately required additional fix work. Fix commits (Fixes in the standard model) are reframed as productive, because fixing bugs is valuable work.

| d72fa2a2 | This commit implements a **bug fix** and **refactoring** within the **`codex-rs/core`** module by **deferring the injection of initial context** for forked sessions. Previously, initial context was duplicated by being injected at fork startup and again on the first turn; this change now preserves the `reference_context_item` as the baseline until the first real user turn. Consequently, **forked sessions** now behave consistently with resume operations regarding context seeding, preventing redundant model-visible context in child rollouts. This involved updating various **test cases and snapshots** related to fork history and context handling, and adding a `TODO` in `build_settings_update_items` for future refinement. | Mar 25 | 6 | maint |
| 2d61357c | This commit introduces a **fix** to the **`context_manager`** in `codex-rs/core` by implementing logic to **trim contiguous pre-turn context updates** during a **rollback** operation. Specifically, it prevents the incorrect retention or duplication of developer and contextual-user messages when the history is rolled back to a user turn, ensuring a clean context state. New helper functions in `codex-rs/core/src/event_mapping.rs` facilitate the identification of these contextual message fragments for accurate trimming. This **improves the robustness of conversational history management** and is verified by new and updated regression tests, including snapshot updates for `compact_resume_fork`, to guarantee correct context state after rollbacks. | Mar 24 | 6 | maint |
| 910cf492 | This commit **stabilizes a flaky test**, `compact_resume_after_second_compaction_preserves_history`, within the **`codex-core`** test suite. It **refactors the test setup** in `codex-rs/core/tests/suite/compact_resume_fork.rs` to use a single, ordered sequence of SSE responses, eliminating duplicate request captures that caused non-determinism. Assertions now check the true recorded request order, ensuring the test reliably verifies history preservation after second compaction. This **maintenance fix** improves test reliability by making the test deterministic, with changes scoped exclusively to the test environment. | Mar 24 | 2 | maint |
| f547b79b | This commit introduces **new capabilities** to the **`ThreadManager`** by adding `ForkSnapshotMode` to `fork_thread`, enabling callers to specify whether a forked thread should start from a committed, interrupted, or truncated state. This **refactoring** updates various call sites in the `app-server` and `tui` modules to leverage these new modes, particularly `ForkSnapshot::Interrupted` for handling conversational interruptions. Additionally, a **bug fix** in `rollout/truncation.rs` corrects the history truncation logic to ensure full rollouts are returned when appropriate. This enhancement provides more flexible thread branching, allowing features like `/btw` to interrupt and fork a thread similarly to an `Esc` key press, thereby improving the conversational flow. | Mar 24 | 15 | maint |
| 0f34b14b | This commit introduces a **new snapshot test** in `codex-rs/core/tests/suite/compact_resume_fork.rs` to expose a regression in the **rollback functionality**. Specifically, it demonstrates how **contextual diffs are duplicated** in the model-visible request input after a rollback, due to live session overrides not being rewound. This **maintenance** change provides a canonical regression test, making the issue visible and offering a direct reproduction for future fixes to the **rollback and context reconstruction** logic. The new test, `snapshot_rollback_followup_turn_duplicates_context_updates`, captures the exact request input to highlight this duplication. | Mar 23 | 2 | maint |
| 332edba7 | This commit **improves error handling** within the **guardian review process** by capturing the last guardian API `EventMsg::Error`. If a review completes without an assessment payload, this captured error is now reused as the **denial rationale**, providing more specific feedback to the user. This **bug fix** affects the `wait_for_guardian_review` function in `codex-rs/core/src/guardian/review_session.rs` and ensures that **Responses API errors** are properly surfaced. A new regression test has been added to verify the `/responses` HTTP 400 path behavior, enhancing the robustness of the system. | Mar 23 | 2 | maint |
| e838645f | This commit introduces a **new capability** to gracefully handle user input during non-steerable turns, such as when a manual `/compact` command is active. The **app-server protocol** is extended with `ActiveTurnNotSteerableCodexErrorInfo` to communicate these states, and the **core logic** now explicitly rejects steering during these periods. Crucially, the **Text User Interface (TUI)** and **TUI App Server** are updated to **queue user messages** submitted during non-steerable turns, displaying them in a pending input preview until the turn concludes. This **user experience improvement** prevents loss of input and provides clear visual feedback, ensuring follow-up messages are processed correctly once the system is ready. Extensive **regression tests** have been added to validate this new queuing and input restoration behavior. | Mar 23 | 43 | grow |
| 5e3793de | This commit introduces a **new capability** for the **TUI (Terminal User Interface)**, enabling users to edit the most recent queued message using `Shift+Left` when operating within a `tmux` session. This **feature enhancement** is applied across both the **TUI** and **TUI App Server** components, specifically updating the `chatwidget`'s keybinding logic and the `pending_input_preview`'s rendering. Extensive **test coverage** and snapshots have been added to validate the new `tmux`-specific behavior and the displayed hint. This change significantly improves the user experience for individuals utilizing the application within `tmux` by providing a more intuitive and consistent shortcut for message editing. | Mar 23 | 8 | maint |
| 85065ea1 | This commit introduces a **new snapshot test** within the **`core` module** to capture and verify the existing behavior of **fork startup context injection** combined with first-turn diff injection. A new Tokio test, `fork_startup_context_then_first_turn_diff_snapshot`, is added to `codex-rs/core/src/codex_tests.rs` along with its corresponding snapshot file. This **maintenance** task explicitly documents the current "duplicated startup-plus-turn context behavior" without altering any runtime logic. The primary goal is to establish a baseline for this critical **startup context injection** mechanism, enhancing the **testing infrastructure** to prevent future regressions. | Mar 23 | 2 | maint |
| e830000e | This commit **removes a legacy configuration migration** from the **core configuration loading** mechanism within the `codex-core` module. Specifically, it stops rewriting the deprecated `smart_approvals` configuration key to `guardian_approval` and ceases backfilling `approvals_reviewer = "guardian_subagent"`. As a result, the `smart_approvals` key is now **ignored** in both root and profile scopes, simplifying configuration handling. This is a **maintenance cleanup** that streamlines the configuration system by removing outdated compatibility logic and associated tests. | Mar 23 | 2 | maint |
| b3a4da84 | This commit introduces a **new feature** and **performance optimization** within the **Guardian review session** of the `codex-rs/core` module. It adds a **developer reminder** for follow-up reviews, ensuring users are prompted before reusing prior review states, which is implemented via the `append_guardian_followup_reminder` function. Concurrently, it **optimizes performance** by caching the prior-review state directly on the guardian session, thereby avoiding redundant full history rescans on subsequent requests. This enhancement improves developer workflow and system efficiency, with corresponding updates to **snapshot tests** and **unit tests** to validate the new reminder's layout and inclusion. | Mar 20 | 3 | grow |
| ebbbc52c | This commit **enhances the `codex-state` module's log management** by aligning SQLite feedback logs with the in-memory feedback formatter, specifically for `/feedback` exports. It introduces a new `feedback_log_body` column in the `logs` table, storing pre-rendered log content that includes span prefixes and structured event fields, ensuring **`/feedback` exports maintain fidelity**. The **log insertion logic** in `log_db.rs` is updated to capture this formatted body at write time, and **feedback query and truncation mechanisms** in `runtime/logs.rs` are refactored to utilize this new column. This **feature enhancement** also integrates `feedback_log_body` into the retention budget for correct pruning and optimizes feedback export queries with a SQL-side byte cap. | Mar 18 | 7 | grow |
| 226241f0 | This commit **refactors** the source of truth for `guardian_developer_instructions`, moving this critical prompt override from backend-managed configuration to **workspace-managed `requirements.toml`**. This introduces a **new capability** for administrators to define or override the **Guardian system's** prompt via enterprise policies, affecting the **configuration loading mechanism** across `codex-rs`. The Guardian will now prioritize this workspace-defined override, falling back to a bundled default if not present, enabling more agile policy updates through the **workspace Policies UI**. This change ensures the Guardian prompt is an admin-managed policy input, not a user preference, streamlining policy management for the **Guardian system**. | Mar 18 | 14 | maint |
| 6fdeb1d6 | This commit introduces a significant **enhancement** to the **Guardian approval subsystem** by implementing a `GuardianReviewSessionManager` to **reuse the Guardian subagent session** across multiple approvals. This change **improves performance** by avoiding one-shot startup overhead and ensures a stable prompt cache key, while also preventing "prompt bleed" by clearing the subagent's history before each review. Concurrently, it performs a **major refactoring** of the Guardian module structure and renames the `smart_approvals` feature flag to `guardian_approval` across the **core configuration** and **TUI**, streamlining the codebase and user-facing terminology. This work results in faster, more reliable, and consistent Guardian review experiences, with added regression coverage for prompt cache key reuse. | Mar 16 | 26 | maint |
| bbd329a8 | This commit **fixes a bug** in the **turn context reconstruction** mechanism within the `codex-rs/core` module, specifically addressing issues that arose after **backtracking** operations. It reuses existing **rollout reconstruction logic** during backtrack rollbacks to ensure the `reference_context_item` is accurately restored from persisted rollout state, preventing misalignment in turn-context diffing. The change also optimizes rollback replay by building it directly from flushed rollout items, avoiding redundant data re-reads. A new **regression test** has been added to `codex-rs/core/src/codex_tests.rs` to validate correct behavior after compaction, ensuring the integrity of turn-context diffing. | Mar 14 | 2 | maint |
| 467e6216 | This commit **fixes a compilation error** within the **`codex-core` testing suite** by updating a stale function reference. Specifically, it replaces the `create_wait_tool()` call with the correct `create_wait_agent_tool()` in `codex-rs/core/src/tools/spec_tests.rs`. This **maintenance bug fix** resolves a "cannot find function" error that arose after a previous refactoring renamed the multi-agent tool creation helper. The change ensures the spec tests for the **multi-agent toolset** compile and run correctly, maintaining the integrity of the test suite. | Mar 13 | 1 | maint |

| e3cbf913 | This commit **fixes test regressions** in the **`codex-core`** module by updating stale tool-spec expectations. It renames the expected tool from `wait` to `wait_agent` in various **core tool specification tests** within `codex-rs/core/src/tools/spec_tests.rs`. Additionally, the **prompt caching consistency test** in `codex-rs/core/tests/suite/prompt_caching.rs` is updated to assert against the correct `wait_agent` tool name. This **maintenance** work ensures that the **tooling infrastructure** and **prompt caching validation** accurately reflect the recent renaming of the multi-agent wait tool, resolving issues introduced by a prior change. | Mar 13 | 2 | maint |
| f5bb338f | This commit **refactors** the **`codex-rs/core`** module to **defer the insertion of initial conversation context** until the first real user turn, rather than seeding model-visible context during session startup. This change impacts the **conversation context management** and **history recording** by ensuring that developer-visible context, such as permissions and environment details, is only injected when a user interaction occurs. Consequently, **first-turn request layouts** will no longer contain pre-user startup context, affecting **compaction behavior** and requiring extensive updates to **deterministic snapshot tests** across various scenarios, including collaboration instructions and personality updates. A **new regression test** was also added to specifically verify this deferred context insertion for new sessions. | Mar 11 | 16 | maint |
| f23fcd6c | This commit performs significant **refactoring and maintenance** on the **guardian approval system** to enhance clarity, consistency, and internal plumbing. It **neutralizes user-facing terminology** from "guardian" or "second reviewer" to "automatic approval review" across the UI and internal prompts, including renaming the experimental feature in `codex-rs/core/src/features.rs`. The changes also **streamline the guardian's internal logic** by removing model-visible guardian-specific prompt additions from `codex-rs/protocol/src/models.rs`, tightening retry-context handling to prevent agent justifications from being injected as raw context, and simplifying review plumbing by deleting dead code paths in `codex-rs/core/src/guardian.rs`. This ensures a more robust and user-friendly experience for the **automatic approval review** feature across various **tool executions** like shell, network, and MCP. | Mar 9 | 16 | maint |
