+subpaths: root / `/protocol` = the wire contract (zod schemas), `/core` = the
+in-process engine, `/server` = the JSON-RPC wire, `/client` = the typed client.

+The response may include `guidance` (a maintainer reply on this thread) and an
+`ask` (their question plus a ready-to-run answer command — answer only from what

+the tracker already knows: it was recorded, don't file variants of it.

 # Changelog
 
+## 0.3.3
+
+- Embedded hosts can resolve Codex API keys or externally managed ChatGPT
+  credentials before each turn through `codexAppServer.resolveAuth`. Warm turns
+  reauthenticate, auth-mode changes retain the conversation, and native refresh
+  requests stay bound to the selected account and active turn. Credentials are
+  not added to the public wire protocol or `RunConfig`.
+- Cancel and shutdown close Codex processes during authentication as well as
+  initialization. This release also includes the recent CLI, cancellation,
+  session recovery, token usage, and provisioned executable cache fixes on master.

+## Host-managed Codex authentication
+
+Embedded hosts can provide `codexAppServer.resolveAuth(sessionId)` to
+`createAgentRuntime`. It returns `CodexAppServerAuth`: either
+`{ type: "apiKey", apiKey }` or `{ type: "chatgptAuthTokens", tokens, refresh }`.
+The ChatGPT variant's `tokens` contain `accessToken`, `chatgptAccountId`, and
+optional `chatgptPlanType`; `refresh(previousAccountId)` supplies renewed tokens.
+These types are exported from `/core`.
+
+The resolver runs before every turn. The engine explicitly authenticates before
+thread creation/resume and reauthenticates warm processes, so changing the
+selected account takes effect on the next turn. Throw from the resolver when
+the selected external account is unavailable. Return `undefined` to explicitly
+use native CLI authentication instead; switching between external and native
+auth recreates the process while retaining the conversation. Without the hook,
+existing native authentication is unchanged.
+
+The ChatGPT variant uses Codex's experimental `chatgptAuthTokens` mode and automatically opts
+into `experimentalApi` during initialization. API keys use native `apiKey` login
+without experimental capabilities; changing auth modes recreates the process.
+Codex may cache API keys in its native credential store, so the host also owns
+that store's lifecycle. The host owns login, durable
+refresh-token storage, serialized renewal, and revocation. When Codex requests
+fresh access credentials, the callback must return the same ChatGPT account;
+the engine rejects mismatched identities and refreshes that outlive their turn.
+An absent previous-account hint resolves to the turn's selected account. No
+credentials or callbacks are added to `RunConfig` or the engine's public wire.
+The protocol was checked against Codex CLI 0.146.1 and the
+[official app-server authentication documentation](https://learn.chatgpt.com/docs/app-server#3c-log-in-with-externally-managed-chatgpt-tokens-chatgptauthtokens).
