## Why
Codex package installs include helper binaries in `codex-path`, such as
the bundled `rg`. Package-layout launches should add that directory
before user commands run, but standalone launches were missing it while
npm launches only worked because `codex.js` had its own legacy `PATH`
rewrite. That made npm and standalone package behavior diverge.
Shell snapshot restoration can also reset `PATH` after runtime setup.
Any package-owned `PATH` prepend has to be recorded as an explicit
runtime override so shells, unified exec, and user-shell commands keep
access to `codex-path` after a snapshot is sourced.
## Repro
Before this change, a curl-installed package could contain `rg` under
`codex-path` but still fail to put it on `PATH`:
```shell
mkdir /tmp/test-codex-curl
curl -fsSL https://chatgpt.com/codex/install.sh \
| CODEX_HOME=/tmp/test-codex-curl CODEX_NON_INTERACTIVE=1 sh
/tmp/test-codex-curl/packages/standalone/current/bin/codex exec \
--skip-git-repo-check 'print `which -a rg`'
find /tmp/test-codex-curl -name rg
```
The `which -a rg` output omitted the packaged helper even though `find`
showed it under
`/tmp/test-codex-curl/packages/standalone/releases/.../codex-path/rg`.
The npm install path behaved differently only because
`codex-cli/bin/codex.js` had legacy `PATH` rewriting:
```shell
mkdir /tmp/test-codex-npm
cd /tmp/test-codex-npm
npm install @openai/codex
./node_modules/.bin/codex exec --skip-git-repo-check 'print `which -a rg`'
```
That printed the npm package's `vendor/<target>/codex-path/rg` first.
This PR moves that behavior into Rust-side package launch setup so
curl/standalone and npm/bun launches agree without JS rewriting `PATH`.
## What Changed
- `codex-rs/arg0` now uses
`InstallContext::current().package_layout.path_dir` to prepend the
package helper directory before any threads are created.
- Package helper `PATH` setup is independent from the temporary arg0
alias setup, so `codex-path` is still added even if CODEX_HOME tempdir,
lock, or symlink setup fails.
- `codex-rs/install-context` detects the canonical package layout we
ship: `bin/`, `codex-resources/`, and `codex-path/` next to
`codex-package.json`.
- Shell, local unified exec, and user-shell runtimes now record package
`codex-path` prepends in `explicit_env_overrides`, matching the existing
zsh-fork behavior so shell snapshots cannot restore over the package
helper path.
- Remote unified exec requests do not receive the local app-server
package path overlay.
- `codex-cli/bin/codex.js` no longer computes or overrides `PATH`; it
only locates the native binary in the canonical package layout and
passes npm/bun management metadata.
- Added regression tests for `PATH` ordering, package layout detection,
and shell snapshot preservation of package path prepends.
## Verification
- `node --check codex-cli/bin/codex.js`
- `just test -p codex-install-context -p codex-arg0`
- `just test -p codex-core
user_shell_snapshot_preserves_package_path_prepend`
- `just test -p codex-core tools::runtimes::tests`
- `just bazel-lock-update`
- `just bazel-lock-check`
- `just fix -p codex-install-context -p codex-arg0 -p codex-core`
## Why
`rust-release` now publishes `codex-package-<target>.tar.gz` as the
canonical native package payload. npm staging should consume those
archives directly instead of keeping legacy synthesis code that fetched
`rg`, copied standalone binaries, and rebuilt an approximate package
layout.
That also means the package builder should not know the internal shape
of `codex-package`. It should extract and copy the target payload
wholesale so future layout changes stay localized to the archive
producer.
The release job stages `codex`, `codex-responses-api-proxy`, and
`codex-sdk` together, so native artifact download should be filtered,
observable, and shared across component installs. Since that native
hydration is now only used by release staging, keeping a separate
`install_native_deps.py` CLI adds an extra wrapper without a real
caller.
## What Changed
- Removed legacy `codex-package` synthesis and related compatibility
flags from npm staging.
- Folded the remaining native artifact hydration code into
`scripts/stage_npm_packages.py` and deleted
`codex-cli/scripts/install_native_deps.py`.
- Made platform package staging copy the full extracted target directory
instead of enumerating package entries.
- Kept non-`codex-package` native components under their component
directory name instead of using a legacy destination map.
- Split native staging by component set while sharing one
workflow-artifact cache across the invocation.
- Changed workflow artifact download to select target artifacts by name,
print sizes/progress, and reuse cached artifacts.
- Removed the implicit `CI=true` default from `build_npm_package.py`;
local CI-shaped runs should set that environment explicitly.
- Kept `npm pack` cache/log output in its temporary directory so packing
does not write to the user npm cache.
## Verification
- `python3 -m py_compile scripts/stage_npm_packages.py
codex-cli/scripts/build_npm_package.py`
- `python3 -m unittest discover -s scripts/codex_package -p "test_*.py"`
- `scripts/stage_npm_packages.py --help`
- `codex-cli/scripts/build_npm_package.py --help`
- Ran the release-shaped staging command from `rust-release.yml` against
workflow run https://github.com/openai/codex/actions/runs/26240748758
with `CI=true` set locally to match GitHub Actions:
```sh
CI=true python3 ./scripts/stage_npm_packages.py \
--release-version 0.133.0 \
--workflow-url https://github.com/openai/codex/actions/runs/26240748758 \
--package codex \
--package codex-responses-api-proxy \
--package codex-sdk
```
That completed successfully, downloaded only the six target artifacts
once, reused the cache for `codex-responses-api-proxy`, and produced all
nine npm tarballs. Generated tarballs and staging/artifact temp dirs
were cleaned afterward.
## Why
Installing `@openai/codex` currently places a Dotslash `rg` manifest at
`node_modules/@openai/codex/bin/rg`, even though the native optional
dependency already ships the actual helper under
`vendor/<target>/codex-path/rg`. The launcher prepends that `codex-path`
directory, so the top-level `bin/rg` file is redundant in the npm
install.
The remaining direct consumers of the manifest are package-building
paths: `scripts/codex_package/ripgrep.py` and
`codex-cli/scripts/install_native_deps.py`. Keeping the manifest under
`codex-cli/bin` makes it look like a shipped npm binary, so this moves
it next to the package-builder code that owns it. The checked-in
`@openai/codex` package metadata should likewise describe only the meta
package payload; generated platform packages continue to publish
`vendor`.
## What Changed
- Moved the Dotslash ripgrep manifest from `codex-cli/bin/rg` to
`scripts/codex_package/rg`.
- Updated the package builder, npm native-artifact hydrator, README, and
CLI help text to reference the new manifest location.
- Stopped `codex-cli/scripts/build_npm_package.py` from copying `rg`
into the `@openai/codex` meta package.
- Narrowed the checked-in meta package `files` whitelist to
`bin/codex.js`.
## Verification
- `python3 -m unittest discover -s scripts/codex_package -p "test_*.py"`
- `python3 -m unittest discover -s codex-cli/scripts -p "test_*.py"`
- `python3 -m py_compile codex-cli/scripts/build_npm_package.py
codex-cli/scripts/install_native_deps.py
scripts/codex_package/ripgrep.py scripts/codex_package/cli.py
scripts/stage_npm_packages.py`
- `codex-cli/scripts/build_npm_package.py --package codex --version
0.0.0-test --pack-output <tmp>/codex-meta-no-vendor.tgz`
- `tar -tf <tmp>/codex-meta-no-vendor.tgz` showed only
`package/bin/codex.js`, `package/package.json`, and `package/README.md`.
- Direct staging check showed `codex` uses `files: ["bin/codex.js"]`
while `codex-darwin-arm64` still uses `files: ["vendor"]`.

## Summary
The npm platform packages should stop carrying a bespoke native layout
now that the release workflow builds canonical Codex package archives.
Keeping npm on the same `bin/`, `codex-resources/`, and `codex-path/`
structure lets the Rust package-layout detection behave consistently
across standalone, npm, and future DotSlash installs.
This changes platform npm packages to stage the `codex-package` artifact
for each target under `vendor/<target>`. The Node launcher now resolves
`bin/codex` and prepends `codex-path`, while retaining legacy
`vendor/<target>/codex` and `vendor/<target>/path` fallback support for
local development and migration. The npm staging helper downloads
`codex-package` archives instead of rebuilding the CLI payload from
individual `codex`, `rg`, `bwrap`, and sandbox helper artifacts.
CI still needs to stage npm packages from historical rust-release
workflow artifacts that predate package archives, so the staging scripts
expose an explicit `--allow-legacy-codex-package` fallback. That
fallback synthesizes the canonical package layout from legacy per-binary
artifacts and is wired only into the CI smoke path; release staging
remains strict and continues to require real package archives.
For direct local use, `install_native_deps.py` now points its built-in
default workflow at the same recent artifact run used by CI and
automatically enables legacy package synthesis only when
`--workflow-url` is omitted. Explicit workflow URLs remain strict unless
callers opt in with `--allow-legacy-codex-package`.
## Test plan
- `python3 -m py_compile codex-cli/scripts/build_npm_package.py
codex-cli/scripts/install_native_deps.py scripts/stage_npm_packages.py
scripts/codex_package/cli.py`
- `node --check codex-cli/bin/codex.js`
- `ruby -e 'require "yaml";
YAML.load_file(".github/workflows/rust-release.yml");
YAML.load_file(".github/workflows/ci.yml"); puts "ok"'`
- Staged a synthetic `codex-linux-x64` platform package from a canonical
vendor tree and verified it copied only `bin/`, `codex-path/`,
`codex-resources/`, and `codex-package.json`.
- Imported `install_native_deps.py` and extracted a synthetic
`codex-package-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz` into `vendor/<target>`.
- Ran legacy-layout conversion smokes for Linux, Windows, and unsigned
macOS artifact naming.
- Ran a synthetic `install_native_deps.py` default-workflow smoke that
verifies legacy package synthesis is automatic only when
`--workflow-url` is omitted.
- `NPM_CONFIG_CACHE="$tmp_dir/npm-cache" python3
./scripts/stage_npm_packages.py --release-version 0.125.0 --workflow-url
https://github.com/openai/codex/actions/runs/26131514935 --package codex

- `node codex-cli/bin/codex.js --version`

## Why
Users and support need a single command that captures the local Codex
runtime, configuration, auth, terminal, network, and state shape without
asking the user to know which diagnostic depth to choose first. `codex
doctor` now runs the useful checks by default and makes the detailed
human output the default because the command is usually run when someone
already needs context.
The command also targets concrete support failure modes we have seen
while iterating on the design:
- update-target mismatches like #21956, where the installed package
manager target can differ from the running executable
- terminal and multiplexer issues that depend on `TERM`, tmux/zellij
state, color handling, and TTY metadata
- provider-specific HTTP/WebSocket connectivity, including ChatGPT
WebSocket handshakes and API-key/provider endpoint reachability
- local state/log SQLite integrity problems and large rollout
directories
- feedback reports that need an attached, redacted diagnostic snapshot
without asking the user to run a second command
## What Changed
- Adds `codex doctor` as a grouped CLI diagnostic report with default
detailed output and `--summary` for the compact view.
- Adds stable report sections for Environment, Configuration, Updates,
Connectivity, and Background Server, plus a top Notes block that
promotes anomalies such as available updates, large rollout directories,
optional MCP issues, and mixed auth signals.
- Adds runtime provenance, install consistency, bundled/system search
readiness, terminal/multiplexer metadata, `config.toml` parse status,
auth mode details, sandbox details, feature flag summaries, update
cache/latest-version state, app-server daemon state, SQLite integrity
checks, rollout statistics, and provider-aware network diagnostics.
- Adds ChatGPT WebSocket diagnostics that report the negotiated HTTP
upgrade as `HTTP 101 Switching Protocols` and include timeout, DNS,
auth, and provider context in detailed output.
- Makes reachability provider-aware: API-key OpenAI setups check the API
endpoint, ChatGPT auth checks the ChatGPT path, and custom/AWS/local
providers check configured HTTP endpoints when available.
- Adds structured, redacted JSON output where `checks` is keyed by check
id and `details` is a key/value object for support tooling.
- Integrates doctor with feedback uploads by attaching a best-effort
`codex-doctor-report.json` report and adding derived Sentry tags for
overall status and failing/warning checks.
- Updates the TUI feedback consent copy so users can see that the doctor
report is included when logs/diagnostics are uploaded.
- Updates the CLI bug issue template to ask reporters for `codex doctor
--json` and render pasted reports as JSON.
## Example Output
The examples below are sanitized from local smoke runs with `--no-color`
so the structure is reviewable in plain text.

## How to Test
1. Run `cargo run --bin codex -- doctor --no-color`.
2. Confirm the detailed report is the default and includes promoted
Notes, grouped sections, terminal details, state DB integrity, rollout
stats, provider reachability, WebSocket diagnostics, and app-server
status.
3. Run `cargo run --bin codex -- doctor --summary --no-color`.
4. Confirm the compact view keeps the same sections and summary counts
but omits detailed key/value rows.
5. Run `cargo run --bin codex -- doctor --json`.
6. Confirm the output is redacted JSON, `checks` is an object keyed by
check id, and each check's `details` is a key/value object.
7. Preview the CLI bug issue template and confirm the `Codex doctor
report` field appears after the terminal field, asks for `codex doctor
--json`, and renders pasted output as JSON.
8. Start a feedback flow that includes logs.
9. Confirm the upload consent copy lists `codex-doctor-report.json`
alongside the log attachments.
Targeted tests:
- `cargo test -p codex-cli doctor`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server
doctor_report_tags_summarize_status_counts`
- `cargo test -p codex-feedback`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui feedback_view`
- `just argument-comment-lint`
- `git diff --check`
## Summary
Starts the process of getting rid of `--full-auto`, with some
concessions:
1. Fully removes the command from the tui, since it just resolves to the
default permissions there, and encourages users to use the one-time
trust flow if they're not in a trusted repo.
2. Marks the command as deprecated in `codex exec`, in case users are
actively relying on this. We'll remove in an upcoming n+X release.
3. Cleans up some of the `codex sandbox` cli logic, to keep supporting
legacy sandbox policies for now.
This isn't the cleanest setup, but I think it is worthwhile to warn
users for one release before hard-removing it.
## Testing
- [x] Updated unit tests
## Summary
This PR hardens package-manager usage across the repo to reduce
dependency supply-chain risk. It also removes the stale `codex-cli`
Docker path, which was already broken on `main`, instead of keeping a
bitrotted container workflow alive.
## What changed
- Updated pnpm package manager pins and workspace install settings.
- Removed stale `codex-cli` Docker assets instead of trying to keep a
broken local container path alive.
- Added uv settings and lockfiles for the Python SDK packages.
- Updated Python SDK setup docs to use `uv sync`.
## Why
This is primarily a security hardening change. It reduces
package-install and supply-chain risk by ensuring dependency installs go
through pinned package managers, committed lockfiles, release-age
settings, and reviewed build-script controls.
For `codex-cli`, the right follow-up was to remove the local Docker path
rather than keep patching it:
- `codex-cli/Dockerfile` installed `codex.tgz` with `npm install -g`,
which bypassed the repo lockfile and age-gated pnpm settings.
- The local `codex-cli/scripts/build_container.sh` helper was already
broken on `main`: it called `pnpm run build`, but
`codex-cli/package.json` does not define a `build` script.
- The container path itself had bitrotted enough that keeping it would
require extra packaging-specific behavior that was not otherwise needed
by the repo.
## Gaps addressed
- Global npm installs bypassed the repo lockfile in Docker and CLI
reinstall paths, including `codex-cli/Dockerfile` and
`codex-cli/bin/codex.js`.
- CI and Docker pnpm installs used `--frozen-lockfile`, but the repo was
missing stricter pnpm workspace settings for dependency build scripts.
- Python SDK projects had `pyproject.toml` metadata but no committed
`uv.lock` coverage or uv age/index settings in `sdk/python` and
`sdk/python-runtime`.
- The secure devcontainer install path used npm/global install behavior
without a local locked package-manager boundary.
- The local `codex-cli` Docker helper was already broken on `main`, so
this PR removes that stale Docker path instead of preserving a broken
surface.
- pnpm was already pinned, but not to the current repo-wide pnpm version
target.
## Verification
- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile`
- `.devcontainer/codex-install`: `pnpm install --prod --frozen-lockfile`
- `.devcontainer/codex-install`: `./node_modules/.bin/codex --version`
- `sdk/python`: `uv lock --check`, `uv sync --locked --all-extras
--dry-run`, `uv build`
- `sdk/python-runtime`: `uv lock --check`, `uv sync --locked --dry-run`,
`uv build --wheel`
- `pnpm -r --filter ./sdk/typescript run build`
- `pnpm -r --filter ./sdk/typescript run lint`
- `pnpm -r --filter ./sdk/typescript run test`
- `node --check codex-cli/bin/codex.js`
- `docker build -f .devcontainer/Dockerfile.secure -t codex-secure-test
.`
- `cargo build -p codex-cli`
- repo-wide package-manager audit
Problem: codex-cli/README.md is obsolete and confusing to keep around.
Solution: Delete codex-cli/README.md so the stale README is no longer
present in the repository.
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/11318 introduced logic to publish
platform artifacts as separate npm packages (for example,
`@openai/codex-darwin-arm64`, `@openai/codex-linux-x64`, etc.). That
requires provisioning and maintaining multiple package entries in npm,
which we want to avoid.
We still need to keep the package-size mitigation (platform-specific
payloads), but we want that layout to live under a single npm package
namespace (`@openai/codex`) using dist-tags.
We also need to preserve pre-release workflows where users install
`@openai/codex@alpha` and get platform-appropriate binaries.
Additionally, we want GitHub Release assets to group Codex npm tarballs
together, so platform tarballs should follow the same `codex-npm-*`
filename prefix as the main Codex tarball.
## Release Strategy (New Scheme)
We publish **one npm package name for Codex binaries** (`@openai/codex`)
and use **dist-tags** to select platform-specific payloads. This avoids
creating separate platform package names while keeping the package size
split by platform.
### What gets published
#### Mainline release (`x.y.z`)
- `@openai/codex@latest` (meta package)
- `@openai/codex@darwin-arm64`
- `@openai/codex@darwin-x64`
- `@openai/codex@linux-arm64`
- `@openai/codex@linux-x64`
- `@openai/codex@win32-arm64`
- `@openai/codex@win32-x64`
- `@openai/codex-responses-api-proxy@latest`
- `@openai/codex-sdk@latest`
#### Alpha release (`x.y.z-alpha.N`)
- `@openai/codex@alpha` (meta package)

As an example, the `package.json` for `@openai/codex@alpha` (using
`0.99.0-alpha.17` as the `version`) would be:

}
}
```
Note that the keys in `optionalDependencies` have "clean" names, but the
values have the tag embedded.
### Important note
**Note:** Because we never created the new platform package names on npm
(for example,
`@openai/codex-darwin-arm64`) since #11318 landed, there are no extra
npm packages to clean up.
## What changed
### 1. Stage platform tarballs as `@openai/codex` with platform-specific
versions
File: `codex-cli/scripts/build_npm_package.py`
- Added `CODEX_NPM_NAME = "@openai/codex"` and platform metadata
`npm_tag` values:
- `darwin-arm64`, `darwin-x64`, `linux-arm64`, `linux-x64`,
`win32-arm64`, `win32-x64`
- For platform package staging (`codex-<platform>` inputs), switched
generated `package.json` from:
- `name = @openai/codex-<platform>`
to:
- `name = @openai/codex`
- Added `compute_platform_package_version(version, platform_tag)` so
platform tarballs have unique
versions (`<release-version>-<platform-tag>`), which is required because
npm forbids re-publishing
the same `name@version`.
### 2. Point meta package optional dependencies at dist-tags on
`@openai/codex`
File: `codex-cli/scripts/build_npm_package.py`
- Updated `optionalDependencies` generation for the main `codex` package
to use npm alias syntax:
- key remains alias package name (for example,
`@openai/codex-darwin-arm64`) so runtime lookup behavior is unchanged
- value now resolves to `@openai/codex` by dist-tag
- Stable releases emit tags like `npm:@openai/codex@darwin-arm64`.
- Alpha releases (`x.y.z-alpha.N`) emit tags like
`npm:@openai/codex@alpha-darwin-arm64`.
### 3. Publish with per-tarball dist-tags in release CI
File: `.github/workflows/rust-release.yml`
- Reworked npm publish logic to derive the publish tag per tarball
filename:
- platform tarballs publish with `<platform>` tags for stable releases
- platform tarballs publish with `alpha-<platform>` tags for alpha
releases
- top-level tarballs (`codex`, `codex-responses-api-proxy`, `codex-sdk`)
continue using
the existing channel tag policy (`latest` implicit for stable, `alpha`
for alpha)
- Added fail-fast behavior for unexpected tarball names to avoid silent
mispublishes.
### 4. Normalize Codex platform tarball filenames for GitHub Release
grouping
Files: `scripts/stage_npm_packages.py`,
`.github/workflows/rust-release.yml`
- Renamed staged platform tarball filenames from:
- `codex-linux-<arch>-npm-<version>.tgz`
- `codex-darwin-<arch>-npm-<version>.tgz`
- `codex-win32-<arch>-npm-<version>.tgz`
- To:
- `codex-npm-linux-<arch>-<version>.tgz`
- `codex-npm-darwin-<arch>-<version>.tgz`
- `codex-npm-win32-<arch>-<version>.tgz`
This keeps all Codex npm artifacts grouped under a common `codex-npm-`
prefix in GitHub Releases.
### 5. Documentation update
File: `codex-cli/scripts/README.md`
- Updated staging docs to clarify that platform-native variants are
published as dist-tagged
`@openai/codex` artifacts rather than separate npm package names.
## Resulting behavior
- Mainline release:
- `@openai/codex@latest` resolves the meta package
- meta package optional dependencies resolve
`@openai/codex@<platform-tag>`
- Alpha release:
- users can continue installing `@openai/codex@alpha`
- alpha meta package optional dependencies resolve
`@openai/codex@alpha-<platform-tag>`
- Release assets:
- Codex npm tarballs share `codex-npm-` prefix for cleaner grouping in
GitHub Releases
This preserves platform-specific payload distribution while avoiding
separate npm package names and
improves release-asset discoverability.
## Validation notes
- Verified staged `package.json` output for stable and alpha meta
packages includes expected alias targets.
- Verified staged platform package manifests are `name=@openai/codex`
with unique platform-suffixed versions.
- Verified publish tag derivation maps renamed platform tarballs to
expected stable and alpha dist-tags.
On the back of:
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/10138
Let's ensure that every folder with a `package.json` is listed in
`pnpm-workspace.yaml` (not sure why `docs` was in there...) and that we
are using `pnpm` over `npm` consistently (which is why this PR deletes
`codex-cli/package-lock.json`).
Currently, our `npm publish` logic is failing.
There were a number of things that were merged recently that seemed to
contribute to this situation, though I think we have fixed most of them,
but this one stands out:
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/10115
As best I can tell, we tried to fix the pnpm version to a specific hash,
but we did not do it consistently (though `shell-tool-mcp/package.json`
had it specified twice...), so for this PR, I ran:
```
$ git ls-files | grep package.json
codex-cli/package.json
codex-rs/responses-api-proxy/npm/package.json
package.json
sdk/typescript/package.json
shell-tool-mcp/package.json
```
and ensured that all of them now have this line:
```json
"packageManager": "pnpm@10.28.2+sha512.41872f037ad22f7348e3b1debbaf7e867cfd448f2726d9cf74c08f19507c31d2c8e7a11525b983febc2df640b5438dee6023ebb1f84ed43cc2d654d2bc326264"
```
I also went and deleted all of the `corepack` stuff that was added by
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/10115.
If someone can explain why we need it and verify it does not break `npm
publish`, then we can bring it back.
## Summary
Fixes#9520
The `bin/codex.js` file was missing execute permissions (`644` instead
of `755`), causing the `codex` command to fail after npm global
installation.
## Changes
- Added execute permission (`+x`) to `codex-cli/bin/codex.js`
## Verification
After this fix, npm tarballs will include the correct file permissions:
```bash
# Before: -rw-r--r-- (644)
# After: -rwxr-xr-x (755)
```

Fixes#2558
Codex uses alternate screen mode (CSI 1049) which, per xterm spec,
doesn't support scrollback. Zellij follows this strictly, so users can't
scroll back through output.
**Changes:**
- Add `tui.alternate_screen` config: `auto` (default), `always`, `never`
- Add `--no-alt-screen` CLI flag
- Auto-detect Zellij and skip alt screen (uses existing `ZELLIJ` env var
detection)
**Usage:**
```bash
# CLI flag
codex --no-alt-screen
# Or in config.toml
[tui]
alternate_screen = "never"
```
With default `auto` mode, Zellij users get working scrollback without
any config changes.

When rg download fails during npm package staging, log the
target/platform/url and preserve the original exception as the cause.
Emit GitHub Actions log groups and error annotations so the failure is
easier to spot.
Document why a urlopen timeout is set (the default can hang
indefinitely).
This is to make failures in the specific build step easier to understand
/ work out what's failing rather than having a big wall of text (or at
least having an obvious part of it that helps narrow that wall)

The Windows Elevated Sandbox uses two new binaries:
codex-windows-sandbox-setup.exe
codex-command-runner.exe
This PR includes them when installing native deps and packaging for npm
## Summary
Restores ability to detect when Codex is installed globally via **Bun**,
which was broken by c3e4f920b4. Fixes
#8003.
Instead of relying on `npm_config_user_agent` (which is only set when
running via `bunx` or `bun run`), this adds a path-based check to see if
the CLI wrapper is located in Bun's global installation directory.
## Regression Context
Commit `c3e4f920b4e965085164d6ee0249a873ef96da77` removed the
`BUN_INSTALL` environment variable checks to prevent false positives.
However, this caused false negatives for genuine Bun global installs
because `detectPackageManager()` defaults to NPM when no signal is
found.
## Changes
- Updated `codex-cli/bin/codex.js` to check if `__dirname` contains
`.bun/install/global` (handles both POSIX and Windows paths).
## Verification
Verified by performing a global install of the patched CLI (v0.69.0 to
trigger the update prompt):
1. Packed the CLI using `npm pack` in `codex-cli/` to create a release
tarball.
2. Installed globally via Bun: `bun install -g
$(pwd)/openai-codex-0.0.0-dev.tgz`.
3. Ran `codex`, confirmed it detected Bun (banner showed `bun install -g
@openai/codex`), selected "Update now", and verified it correctly
spawned `bun install -g` instead of `npm`.
4. Confirmed the upgrade completed successfully using Bun.

5. Verified installations via npm are unaffected.

There was a bit of copypasta I put up with when were publishing two
packages to npm, but now that it's three, I created some more scripts to
consolidate things.
With this change, I ran:
```shell
./scripts/stage_npm_packages.py --release-version 0.43.0-alpha.8 --package codex --package codex-responses-api-proxy --package codex-sdk
```
Indeed when it finished, I ended up with:
```shell

This PR expands `.github/workflows/rust-release.yml` so that it also
builds and publishes the `npm` module for
`@openai/codex-responses-api-proxy` in addition to `@openai/codex`. Note
both `npm` modules are similar, in that they each contain a single `.js`
file that is a thin launcher around the appropriate native executable.
(Since we have a minimal dependency on Node.js, I also lowered the
minimum version from 20 to 16 and verified that works on my machine.)
As part of this change, we tighten up some of the docs around
`codex-responses-api-proxy` and ensure the details regarding protecting
the `OPENAI_API_KEY` in memory match the implementation.
To test the `npm` build process, I ran:
```
./codex-cli/scripts/build_npm_package.py --package codex-responses-api-proxy --version 0.43.0-alpha.3
```
which stages the `npm` module for `@openai/codex-responses-api-proxy` in
a temp directory, using the binary artifacts from
https://github.com/openai/codex/releases/tag/rust-v0.43.0-alpha.3.
This should make the `codex-responses-api-proxy` binaries available for
all platforms in a GitHub Release as well as a corresponding DotSlash
file.
Making `codex-responses-api-proxy` available as an `npm` module will be
done in a follow-up PR.

I am not sure what is going on, as
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/3660 introduced this new logic and
I swear that CI was green before I merged that PR, but I am seeing
failures in this CI job this morning. This feels like a
non-backwards-compatible change in `gh`, but that feels unlikely...
Nevertheless, this is what I currently see on my laptop:
```
$ gh --version
gh version 2.76.2 (2025-07-30)
https://github.com/cli/cli/releases/tag/v2.76.2
$ gh run list --workflow .github/workflows/rust-release.yml --branch rust-v0.40.0 --json workflowName,url,headSha --jq 'first(.[])'

"url": "https://github.com/openai/codex/actions/runs/17952349351",
"workflowName": ".github/workflows/rust-release.yml"
}
```
Looking at sample output from an old GitHub issue
(https://github.com/cli/cli/issues/6678), it appears that, at least at
one point in time, the `workflowName` was _not_ the path to the
workflow.
We try to ensure ripgrep (`rg`) is provided with Codex.
- For `brew`, we declare it as a dependency of our formula:
https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/08d82d8b006a19efbe234477bc8b18d35b5fef50/Formula/c/codex.rb#L24
- For `npm`, we declare `@vscode/ripgrep` as a dependency, which
installs the platform-specific binary as part of a `postinstall` script:
https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/fdb8dadcae9f8eec91bc3eb5a17b3f9b19e28505/codex-cli/package.json#L22
- Users who download the CLI directly from GitHub Releases are on their
own.
In practice, I have seen `@vscode/ripgrep` fail on occasion. Here is a
trace from a GitHub workflow:
```

```
To eliminate this error, this PR changes things so that we vendor the
`rg` binary into https://www.npmjs.com/package/@openai/codex so it is
guaranteed to be included when a user runs `npm i -g @openai/codex`.
The downside of this approach is the increase in package size: we
include the `rg` executable for six architectures (in addition to the
six copies of `codex` we already include). In a follow-up, I plan to add
support for "slices" of our npm module, so that soon users will be able
to do:
```
npm install -g @openai/codex@aarch64-apple-darwin
```
Admittedly, this is a sizable change and I tried to clean some things up
in the process:
- `install_native_deps.sh` has been replaced by `install_native_deps.py`
- `stage_release.sh` and `stage_rust_release.py` has been replaced by
`build_npm_package.py`
We now vendor in a DotSlash file for ripgrep (as a modest attempt to
facilitate local testing) and then build up the extension by:
- creating a temp directory and copying `package.json` over to it with
the target value for `"version"`
- finding the GitHub workflow that corresponds to the
`--release-version` and copying the various `codex` artifacts to
respective `vendor/TARGET_TRIPLE/codex` folder
- downloading the `rg` artifacts specified in the DotSlash file and
copying them over to the respective `vendor/TARGET_TRIPLE/path` folder
- if `--pack-output` is specified, runs `npm pack` on the temp directory
To test, I downloaded the artifact produced by this CI job:
https://github.com/openai/codex/actions/runs/17961595388/job/51085840022?pr=3660
and verified that `node ./bin/codex.js 'which -a rg'` worked as
intended.
## Summary
Ripgrep is our preferred tool for file search. When users install via
`brew install codex`, it's automatically installed as a dependency. We
want to ensure that users running via an npm install also have this
tool! Microsoft has already solved this problem for VS Code - let's not
reinvent the wheel.
This approach of appending to the PATH directly might be a bit
heavy-handed, but feels reasonably robust to a variety of environment
concerns. Open to thoughts on better approaches here!
## Testing
- [x] confirmed this import approach works with `node -e "const { rgPath
} = require('@vscode/ripgrep'); require('child_process').spawn(rgPath,
['--version'], { stdio: 'inherit' })"`
- [x] Ran codex.js locally with `rg` uninstalled, asked it to run `which
rg`. Output below:
```
⚡ Ran command which rg; echo $?
⎿ /Users/dylan.hurd/code/dh--npm-rg/node_modules/@vscode/ripgrep/bin/rg
0
codex
Re-running to confirm the path and exit code.
- Path: `/Users/dylan.hurd/code/dh--npm-rg/node_modules/@vscode/ripgrep/bin/rg`
- Exit code: `0`
```
This deletes the bulk of the `codex-cli` folder and eliminates the logic
that builds the TypeScript code and bundles it into the release.
Since this PR modifies `.github/workflows/rust-release.yml`, to test
changes to the release process, I locally commented out all of the "is
this commit on upstream `main`" checks in
`scripts/create_github_release.sh` and ran:
```
./codex-rs/scripts/create_github_release.sh 0.20.0-alpha.4
```
Which kicked off:
https://github.com/openai/codex/actions/runs/16842085113
And the release artifacts appear legit!
https://github.com/openai/codex/releases/tag/rust-v0.20.0-alpha.4
Historically, the release process for the npm module has been:
- I run `codex-rs/scripts/create_github_release.sh` to kick off a
release for the native artifacts.
- I wait until it is done.
- I run `codex-cli/scripts/stage_rust_release.py` to build the npm
release locally
- I run `npm publish` from my laptop
It has been a longstanding issue to move the npm build to CI. I may
still have to do the `npm publish` manually because it requires 2fac
with `npm`, though I assume we can work that out later.
Note I asked Codex to make these updates, and while they look pretty
good to me, I'm not 100% certain, but let's just merge this and I'll
kick off another alpha build and we'll see what happens?
To date, the build scripts in `codex-cli` still supported building the
old TypeScript version of the Codex CLI to give Windows users something
they can run, but we are just going to have them use the Rust version
like everyone else, so:
- updates `codex-cli/bin/codex.js` so that we run the native binary or
throw if the target platform/arch is not supported (no more conditional
usage based on `CODEX_RUST`, `use-native` file, etc.)
- drops the `--native` flag from `codex-cli/scripts/stage_release.sh`
and updates all the code paths to behave as if `--native` were passed
(i.e., it is the only way to run it now)
Tested this by running:
```
./codex-cli/scripts/stage_rust_release.py --release-version 0.20.0-alpha.2
```
The following test script fails in the codex sandbox:
```

After reading, adding this line to the sandbox configs fixes things -
MacOS multiprocessing appears to use sem_lock(), which opens an IPC
which is considered a disk write even though no file is created. I
interrogated ChatGPT about whether it's okay to loosen, and my
impression after reading is that it is, although would appreciate a
close look
Breadcrumb: You can run `cargo run -- debug seatbelt --full-auto <cmd>`
to test the sandbox
When Codex CLI is installed via `npm`, we use a `.js` wrapper script to
launch the Rust binary.
- Previously, we were not listening for signals to ensure that killing
the Node.js process would also kill the underlying Rust process.
- We also did not have a proper `exit` handler in place on the child
process to ensure we exited from the Node.js process.
This PR fixes these things and hopefully addresses
https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/1570.
This also adds logic so that Windows falls back to the TypeScript CLI
again, which should address https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/1573.
It appears that `0.5.0` was built with `stage_release.sh` instead of
`stage_rust_release.py`, so add docs to clarify this and recommend
running `--version` on the release candidate to verify the right thing
was built.

## Summary
Add Android platform support to Codex CLI
## What?
- Added `android` to the list of supported platforms in
`codex-cli/bin/codex.js`
- Treats Android as Linux for binary compatibility
## Why?
- Fixes "Unsupported platform: android (arm64)" error on Termux
- Enables Codex CLI usage on Android devices via Termux
- Improves platform compatibility without affecting other platforms
## How?
- Modified the platform detection switch statement to include `case
"android":`
- Android falls through to the same logic as Linux, using appropriate
ARM64 binaries
- Minimal change with no breaking effects on existing functionality
## Testing
- Tested on Android/Termux environment
- Verified the fix resolves the platform detection error
- Confirmed no impact on other platforms
## Related Issues

Termux users
This is a stopgap solution before migrating the build for the npm
release to GitHub Actions (which is ultimately what should be done to
ensure hermetic builds).
The idea is that instead of continuing to create PRs like
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/1472 where I have to check in a
change to the `WORKFLOW_URL`, this script uses `gh run list` to get the
`WORKFLOW_URL` dynamically and then threads the value through to
`install_native_deps.sh`.
To create the 0.3.0 release on npm, I ran:
```shell
./codex-cli/scripts/stage_rust_release.py --release-version 0.3.0
```
and then did `npm publish --dry-run` followed by `npm publish` in the
temp directory created by `stage_rust_release.py`.
This introduces two changes to make a quick fix so we can deploy the
Rust CLI for `0.2.0` of `@openai/codex` on npm:
- Updates `WORKFLOW_URL` to point to
https://github.com/openai/codex/actions/runs/15981617627, which is the
GitHub workflow run used to create the binaries for the `0.2.0` release
we published to Homebrew.
- Adds a `--version` option to `stage_release.sh` to specify what the
`version` field in the `package.json` will be.
Locally, I ran the following:
```
./codex-cli/scripts/stage_release.sh --native --version 0.2.0
```
Previously, we only used the `--native` flag to publish to the `native`
tag of `@openai/codex` (e.g., `npm publish --tag native`), but we should
just publish this as the default tag for `0.2.0` to be consistent with
what is in Homebrew.
We can still publish one "final" version of the TypeScript CLI as 0.1.x
later.
Under the hood, this release will still contain `dist/cli.js`,
`bin/codex-linux-sandbox-x64`, and `bin/codex-x86_64-apple-darwin`,
which are not strictly necessary, but we'll fix that in `0.3.0`.
As promised on https://github.com/openai/codex/discussions/1405, we are
making the first official release of the Rust CLI as v0.2.0. As part of
this move, we are making it available in Homebrew:
https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/228615
Ultimately, we also plan to continue to make the CLI available in npm,
as well, though brew is a bit nicer in that `brew install` will download
only the binary for your platform whereas an npm module is expected to
contain the binaries for _all_ supported platforms, so it is a bit more
heavyweight.
A big part of this change is updating the root `README.md` to document
the behavior of the Rust CLI, which differs in a number of ways from the
TypeScript CLI. The existing `README.md` is moved to
`codex-cli/README.md` as part of this PR, as it is still applicable to
that folder.
As this is still early days for the Rust CLI, I encourage folks to
provide feedback on the command line flags and configuration options.
- Use Responses API for Azure provider endpoints
- Added a unit test to catch regression on the change from
`/chat/completions` to `/responses`
- Updated the default AOAI api version from `2025-03-01-preview` to
`2025-04-01-preview` to avoid user/400 errors due to missing summary
support in the March API version.
- Changes have been tested locally on AOAI endpoints
## Summary
This PR refactors the Codex CLI authentication flow so that
**non-OpenAI** providers (for example **azure**, or any future addition)
can supply their API key through a dedicated environment variable
without triggering the OpenAI login flow.
Key behaviours introduced:
* When `provider !== "openai"` the CLI consults `src/utils/providers.ts`
to locate the correct environment variable (`AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY`,
`GEMINI_API_KEY`, and so on) before considering any interactive login.
* Credit redemption (`--free`) and PKCE login now run **only** when the
provider is OpenAI, eliminating unwanted browser prompts for Azure and
others.
* User-facing error messages are revamped to guide Azure users to
**[https://ai.azure.com/](https://ai.azure.com)** and show the exact
variable name they must set.
* All code paths still export `OPENAI_API_KEY` so legacy scripts
continue to operate unchanged.

## Example `config.json`
```jsonc
{
"model": "codex-mini",
"provider": "azure",
"providers": {
"azure": {
"name": "AzureOpenAI",
"baseURL": "https://ai-<project-name>.openai.azure.com/openai",
"envKey": "AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY"
}
},
"history": {
"maxSize": 1000,
"saveHistory": true,
"sensitivePatterns": []
}
}
```
With this file in `~/.codex/config.json`, a single command line is
enough:
```bash
export AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY="<your-key>"
codex "Hello from Azure"
```
No browser window opens, and the CLI works in entirely non-interactive
mode.
---
## Rationale
The new flow enables Codex to run **asynchronously** in sandboxed
environments such as GitHub Actions pipelines. By passing `--provider
azure` (or setting it in `config.json`) and exporting the correct key,
CI/CD jobs can invoke Codex without any ChatGPT-style login or PKCE
round-trip. This unlocks fully automated testing and deployment
scenarios.
---
## What’s changed
| File | Type | Description |
| ------------------------ | ------------------- |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| `codex-cli/src/cli.tsx` | **feat / refactor** | +43 / -20 lines.
Imports `providers`, adds early provider-specific key lookup, gates
`--free` redemption, rewrites help text. |
| `src/utils/providers.ts` | **chore** | Now consumed by CLI for env-var
discovery. |
---
## How to test
```bash
# Azure example
export AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY="<your-key>"
codex --provider azure "Automated run in CI"
# OpenAI example (unchanged behaviour)
codex --provider openai --login "Standard OpenAI flow"
```
Expected outcomes:
* Azure and other provider paths are non-interactive when provider flag
is passed.
* The CLI always sets `OPENAI_API_KEY` for backward compatibility.
---
## Checklist
* [x] Logic behind provider-specific env-var lookup added.
* [x] Redundant OpenAI login steps removed for other providers.
* [x] Unit tests cover new branches.
* [x] README and sample config updated.
* [x] CI passes on all supported Node versions.
