One finding: a backend behavior change in sendTurn lands without focused test coverage.

Verified fix(codex): refresh MCP tools before turns at da0895f as CDVolvik. Check: git fetch pull/8737/head, diff 2 files +88/-19. CodexSessionRuntime.ts:42 new exported startCodexTurn does unconditional config/mcpServer/reload before turn/start and propagates reload/parse errors (previously conditional on hasConfiguredMcpServer and swallowed). Tests: pnpm exec vitest run CodexSessionRuntime.test.ts — 39/39 pass (includes new reloads before start + surfaces reload failures). tsc clean. CI green. Revert round-trips clean. LGTM. |

One finding on the new startCodexTurn helper: the synthesized reload-timeout failure.

One finding in the web composer: the new /reconnect-mcp menu selection leaves the slash trigger active, so Enter re-selects the item instead of sending the command.

Codex is not the only harness that keeps MCP subprocesses alive for a provider session. Claude Agent SDK queries, managed OpenCode servers and the ACP agents all persist across turns in the same thread, so a rebuilt local MCP server (or a newly added one) stays stale there too. Stopping the idle session recycles the harness process for any provider, and the onlyIfIdle decider guard is already provider-agnostic, so drop the Codex-only gating on the send path and in the composer menus. The web menu now shows the command whenever the thread has a session, which also fixes it being offered for draft threads with no session.

hasThread is true for any selected thread, including ones with a null session. The menu offered /reconnect-mcp there, but the send handler can only reject it with 'Start a thread first'. Thread session state into the slash-command builder and only show the command when a session exists.

Thanks for the PR. We're not taking changes to the orchestration and provider layers right now: that part of the server is being rewritten for V2, and merging into the current code would either conflict with or be thrown away by that work. Closing for now. If this is still an issue once V2 lands, please reopen (or open a fresh PR against the new code) and we'll take a proper look. |

What Changed
Add a local
/reconnect-mcpcommand for threads on any provider on web, desktop, and mobile. The command safely stops that thread's idle provider session so its MCP servers restart with fresh tool schemas on the next message.The server rejects raced reconnect attempts when a turn, queued turn, approval, or user-input request is active.
Why
Codex keeps MCP subprocesses and tool schemas alive for a provider session, and the same is true of the other harnesses: Claude Agent SDK queries, managed OpenCode servers, and the ACP agents all persist across turns in the same thread. Rebuilding a local MCP server (or adding a new one mid-session) therefore leaves an existing thread on the old schema. Recycling the session on demand is reliable and avoids adding unconditional work to every turn. One OpenCode caveat: threads on an external server (
serverUrl) do not get a fresh MCP setup from this, since T3 Code does not own that server process.UI Changes
Adds
/reconnect-mcpto the slash-command menu whenever the thread has a session, and reports success or failure through the existing toast/alert UI. No layout or animation changes.Checklist
Manually verified that rebuilding a local MCP server and running
/reconnect-mcprefreshes its exposed tool schema on the next turn without restarting T3 Code.Implemented with GPT-5.6 in the Codex harness.
