Part of the [Codex harness runtime](/plugins/codex-harness-runtime) guide; [Where each section moved](/plugins/codex-harness-runtime#where-each-section-moved) lists every section. ## V1 support contract Supported in Codex runtime v1: | Surface | Support | Why | | --------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | OpenAI model loop through Codex | Supported | Codex app-server owns the OpenAI turn, native thread resume, and native tool continuation. | | OpenClaw channel routing and delivery | Supported | Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, iMessage, and other channels stay outside the model runtime. | | OpenClaw dynamic tools | Supported | Codex asks OpenClaw to execute these tools, so OpenClaw stays in the execution path. | | Prompt and context plugins | Supported | OpenClaw projects OpenClaw-specific prompt/context into the Codex turn while normally leaving Codex-owned base, model, and configured project-doc prompts in the native Codex lane. For ordinary policy-restricted turns without a native filesystem environment, OpenClaw carries the bounded workspace `AGENTS.md` snapshot as thread-level developer instructions. Ring-zero and other context-restricted internal modes suppress both paths. OpenClaw disables Codex's built-in personality for native threads so agent workspace personality files remain authoritative. Native Codex developer instructions accept only command guidance explicitly scoped to `codex_app_server`; legacy global command hints remain for non-Codex prompt surfaces. | | Context engine lifecycle | Supported | Assemble, ingest, and after-turn maintenance run around Codex turns. Context engines do not replace native Codex compaction. | | Dynamic tool hooks | Supported | `before_tool_call`, `after_tool_call`, and tool-result middleware run around OpenClaw-owned dynamic tools. | | Lifecycle hooks | Supported as adapter observations | `llm_input`, `llm_output`, `agent_end`, `before_compaction`, and `after_compaction` fire with honest Codex-mode payloads. | | Final-answer revision gate | Supported through native hook relay | Codex `Stop` is relayed to `before_agent_finalize`; `revise` asks Codex for one more model pass before finalization. | | Native shell, patch, and MCP block or observe | Supported through native hook relay | Codex `PreToolUse` and `PostToolUse` are relayed for committed native tool surfaces, including MCP payloads on the pinned Codex app-server. Blocking is supported; argument rewriting is not. | | Native permission policy | Supported through Codex app-server approvals and compatibility native hook relay | Codex app-server approval requests route through OpenClaw after Codex review. The `PermissionRequest` native hook relay is opt-in for native approval modes because Codex emits it before guardian review. | | App-server trajectory capture | Supported | OpenClaw records the request it sent to app-server and the app-server notifications it receives. | Not supported in Codex runtime v1: | Surface | V1 boundary | Future path | | --------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Native tool argument mutation | Codex native pre-tool hooks can block, but OpenClaw does not rewrite Codex-native tool arguments. | Requires Codex hook/schema support for replacement tool input. | | Editable Codex-native transcript history | Codex owns canonical native thread history. OpenClaw owns a mirror and can project future context, but should not mutate unsupported internals. | Add explicit Codex app-server APIs if native thread surgery is needed. | | `tool_result_persist` for Codex-native tool records | That hook transforms OpenClaw-owned transcript writes, not Codex-native tool records. | Could mirror transformed records, but canonical rewrite needs Codex support. | | Rich native compaction metadata | OpenClaw can request native compaction, but does not receive a stable kept/dropped list, token delta, completion summary, or summary payload. | Needs richer Codex compaction events. | | Compaction intervention | OpenClaw does not let plugins or context engines veto, rewrite, or replace native Codex compaction. | Add Codex pre/post compaction hooks if plugins need to veto or rewrite native compaction. | | Byte-for-byte model API request capture | OpenClaw can capture app-server requests and notifications, but Codex core builds the final OpenAI API request internally. | Needs a Codex model-request tracing event or debug API. |
