feat(sidecar): make Off selectable in the web search card and switch Codex's native web_search off#5709RobinBially wants to merge 5 commits into
Conversation
…Codex's web_search off The web-search sidecar could only be turned off by editing `config.json`. That is not enough when an MCP search server should be the only search path: Codex keeps declaring its native hosted `web_search` tool until its own root `web_search` mode says otherwise, and the tool a client advertises is the tool the model reaches for — so the model kept calling the native tool instead of the MCP one. Off is now the first row of the Dashboard's web-search model picker (i18n `dash.webSearchOff`, all ten locales) and `ocx agent sidecar web --enabled off` accepts the same switch. Both go through the existing `PUT /api/sidecar-settings`, which persists `webSearchSidecar.enabled` and — only when the switch actually MOVES — re-runs the Codex config injection, so the sidecar state and Codex's client-side key follow each other immediately instead of at the next `ocx sync`. The response carries the Codex-side write as `codexWebSearch` (`applied`/`reason`/`retryable`), the same report the Desktop switches use. Ownership follows the routing keys: while the sidecar is off the injection owns root `web_search` and writes `web_search = "disabled"` — the only mode that removes the native tool. A user-owned root line is replaced in that state because two root keys of the same name are invalid TOML; the journal snapshot returns it on `ocx restore`. Switching the sidecar back on removes only the marker-owned pair, so a re-enabled sidecar cannot be left with nothing to intercept.

Review of the first pass found two ways the root `web_search` key could end up in the state this feature exists to avoid. Ownership by value (lidge-jun#1798 rule). A Codex app reserialize keeps values and drops comments, so `web_search = "disabled"` could survive with no marker above it. Switching the sidecar back on then left the line in place: the sidecar is on, and the client still advertises no native tool for it to intercept. The journal now records the value the injection wrote (`injectedRootWebSearch`) and the strip consumes a marker-less line whose value matches it exactly, so a user's own mode is still never mistaken for ours. The operator's mode is no longer lost. Off has to remove a user-owned root line, because two root keys of the same name are invalid TOML. The journal now carries that exact line (`replacedRootWebSearch`) and the pass that switches the sidecar back on puts it in our pair's place — including for a line the journal snapshot predates, which `ocx restore` alone cannot cover. A second injection while the switch is still off keeps the recorded line instead of clearing it. `ensureRootWebSearchDisabled` reports what it did (the line it removed, the value it wrote) rather than returning a bare string; the plan passes both to `markJournalInjectedState`. The purge path in `remove.ts` is the enabled direction of the same transform, so it drops our residue by value and returns the operator's line as well. Tests: the pure cases plus an end-to-end spawn test that runs off, simulates the comment-dropping rewrite, and runs on again against the journal.
A save that did not move the web-search switch answers `not_requested` about a Codex file it never touched. Saving anything else in the meantime (a Vision setting, for instance) therefore replaced the stored report and cleared the warning while the native tool was still being advertised. The report now survives that answer and is settled only by a write that ran or by a successful model sync.

Summary
The web-search sidecar could only be turned off by editing
config.json, which is not enough whenan MCP search server should be the only search path: Codex keeps declaring its native hosted
web_searchtool until its own rootweb_searchmode says otherwise, and the tool a clientadvertises is the tool the model reaches for. The model kept calling the native tool instead of the
MCP one.
Off is now the first row of the Dashboard's web-search model picker — picking a model again is
how the sidecar comes back on — and
ocx agent sidecar web --enabled offwrites the same switch.Both go through the existing
PUT /api/sidecar-settings, which persistswebSearchSidecar.enabledand, only when the switch actually MOVES, re-runs the Codex configinjection. That injection owns root
web_searchwhile the sidecar is off:web_search = "disabled"— the one mode that removes the native hosted tool. A user-ownedroot line is replaced in this state because two root keys of the same name are invalid TOML; the
quoted spellings TOML reads as that same key (
"web_search",'web_search') count as theoperator's line here, so no second key is written next to one.
intercept.
Neither direction can rest on formatting alone, so both are recorded in the Codex journal.
injectedRootWebSearchcarries the value the injection wrote: aweb_search = "disabled"linewhose ownership comment a Codex app reserialize dropped is still recognized as ours (#1798), instead
of being left behind by the pass that switches the sidecar back on — which would leave the sidecar
on with no native tool for it to intercept.
replacedRootWebSearchcarries the exact user-ownedline the off state had to remove, and the pass that switches the sidecar back on puts it in our
pair's place, including for a line the journal snapshot predates, which
ocx restorealone cannotcover. The purge path (
ocx restore,ocx stop) runs the same transform, so a line removed whilethe switch was off comes back there too.
The write is reported rather than assumed: the response carries
codexWebSearch(
applied/reason/retryable) and the CLI prints the Desktop switches' own wording. TheDashboard card keeps a failed report until something actually describes the file — a later save that
did not move the switch answers
