- A new “/sessions” command is available for browsing previous sessions,
as shown in the updated slash command list
- The CLI now documents and parses a new “--history” flag to browse past
sessions from the command line
- A dedicated `SessionsOverlay` component loads session metadata and
allows toggling between viewing and resuming sessions
- When the sessions overlay is opened during a chat, selecting a session
can either show the saved rollout or resume it
This PR introduces the following type:
```typescript
export type FileOpenerScheme = "vscode" | "cursor" | "windsurf";
```
and uses it as the new type for a `fileOpener` option in `config.json`.
If set, this will be used to linkify file annotations in the output
using the URI-based file opener supported in VS Code-based IDEs.
Currently, this does not pass:
Updated `codex-cli/tests/markdown.test.tsx` to verify the new behavior.
Note it required mocking `supports-hyperlinks` and temporarily modifying
`chalk.level` to yield the desired output.
Note the high-level motivation behind this change is to avoid the need
to make temporary changes in the source tree in order to cut a release
build since that runs the risk of leaving things in an inconsistent
state in the event of a failure. The existing code:
```
import pkg from "../../package.json" assert { type: "json" };
```
did not work as intended because, as written, ESBuild would bake the
contents of the local `package.json` into the release build at build
time whereas we want it to read the contents at runtime so we can use
the `package.json` in the tree to build the code and later inject a
modified version into the release package with a timestamped build
version.
Changes:
* move `CLI_VERSION` out of `src/utils/session.ts` and into
`src/version.ts` so `../package.json` is a correct relative path both
from `src/version.ts` in the source tree and also in the final
`dist/cli.js` build output
* change `assert` to `with` in `import pkg` as apparently `with` became
standard in Node 22
* mark `"../package.json"` as external in `build.mjs` so the version is
not baked into the `.js` at build time
After using `pnpm stage-release` to build a release version, if I use
Node 22.0 to run Codex, I see the following printed to stderr at
startup:
```
(node:71308) ExperimentalWarning: Importing JSON modules is an experimental feature and might change at any time
(Use `node --trace-warnings ...` to show where the warning was created)
```
Note it is a warning and does not prevent Codex from running.
In Node 22.12, the warning goes away, but the warning still appears in
Node 22.11. For Node 22, 22.15.0 is the current LTS version, so LTS
users will not see this.
Also, something about moving the definition of `CLI_VERSION` caused a
problem with the mocks in `check-updates.test.ts`. I asked Codex to fix
it, and it came up with the change to the test configs. I don't know
enough about vitest to understand what it did, but the tests seem
healthy again, so I'm going with it.
## Summary
This PR introduces support for Azure OpenAI as a provider within the
Codex CLI. Users can now configure the tool to leverage their Azure
OpenAI deployments by specifying `"azure"` as the provider in
`config.json` and setting the corresponding `AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY` and
`AZURE_OPENAI_API_VERSION` environment variables. This functionality is
added alongside the existing provider options (OpenAI, OpenRouter,
etc.).
Related to #92
**Note:** This PR is currently in **Draft** status because tests on the
`main` branch are failing. It will be marked as ready for review once
the `main` branch is stable and tests are passing.
---
## What’s Changed
- **Configuration (`config.ts`, `providers.ts`, `README.md`):**
- Added `"azure"` to the supported `providers` list in `providers.ts`,
specifying its name, default base URL structure, and environment
variable key (`AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY`).
- Defined the `AZURE_OPENAI_API_VERSION` environment variable in
`config.ts` with a default value (`2025-03-01-preview`).
- Updated `README.md` to:
- Include "azure" in the list of providers.
- Add a configuration section for Azure OpenAI, detailing the required
environment variables (`AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY`,
`AZURE_OPENAI_API_VERSION`) with examples.
- **Client Instantiation (`terminal-chat.tsx`, `singlepass-cli-app.tsx`,
`agent-loop.ts`, `compact-summary.ts`, `model-utils.ts`):**
- Modified various components and utility functions where the OpenAI
client is initialized.
- Added conditional logic to check if the configured `provider` is
`"azure"`.
- If the provider is Azure, the `AzureOpenAI` client from the `openai`
package is instantiated, using the configured `baseURL`, `apiKey` (from
`AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY`), and `apiVersion` (from
`AZURE_OPENAI_API_VERSION`).
- Otherwise, the standard `OpenAI` client is instantiated as before.
- **Dependencies:**
- Relies on the `openai` package's built-in support for `AzureOpenAI`.
No *new* external dependencies were added specifically for this Azure
implementation beyond the `openai` package itself.

## How to Test
*This has been tested locally and confirmed working with Azure OpenAI.*
1. **Configure `config.json`:**
Ensure your `~/.codex/config.json` (or project-specific config) includes
Azure and sets it as the active provider:
```json
{
"providers": {
// ... other providers
"azure": {
"name": "AzureOpenAI",
"baseURL": "https://YOUR_RESOURCE_NAME.openai.azure.com", // Replace
with your Azure endpoint
"envKey": "AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY"
}
},
"provider": "azure", // Set Azure as the active provider
"model": "o4-mini" // Use your Azure deployment name here
// ... other config settings
}
```
2. **Set up Environment Variables:**
```bash
# Set the API Key for your Azure OpenAI resource
export AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY="your-azure-api-key-here"
# Set the API Version (Optional - defaults to `2025-03-01-preview` if
not set)
# Ensure this version is supported by your Azure deployment and endpoint
export AZURE_OPENAI_API_VERSION="2025-03-01-preview"
```
3. **Get the Codex CLI by building from this PR branch:**
Clone your fork, checkout this branch (`feat/azure-openai`), navigate to
`codex-cli`, and build:
```bash
# cd /path/to/your/fork/codex
git checkout feat/azure-openai # Or your branch name
cd codex-cli
corepack enable
pnpm install
pnpm build
```
4. **Invoke Codex:**
Run the locally built CLI using `node` from the `codex-cli` directory:
```bash
node ./dist/cli.js "Explain the purpose of this PR"
```
*(Alternatively, if you ran `pnpm link` after building, you can use
`codex "Explain the purpose of this PR"` from anywhere)*.
5. **Verify:** Confirm that the command executes successfully and
interacts with your configured Azure OpenAI deployment.

Up-to-date of #78Fixes#32
addressed requested changes @tibo-openai :) made sense to me
though, previous rationale with passing the state up was assuming there
could be a future need to have a shared state with all available models
being available to the parent
## Description
The `as AppConfig` type assertion in the constructor may introduce
potential type safety risks. Removing the assertion and making `notify`
an optional parameter could enhance type robustness and prevent
unexpected runtime errors.
close: #605

A recent commit introduced the ability to use third-party model
providers. (Really appreciate it!)
However, the usage is inconsistent: some pieces of code use the custom
providers, whereas others still have the old behavior. Additionally,
`OPENAI_BASE_URL` is now being disregarded when it shouldn't be.
This PR normalizes the usage to `getApiKey` and `getBaseUrl`, and
enables the use of `OPENAI_BASE_URL` if present.

As described in
https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/392#issuecomment-2817090022
introduced by #400
The testing I'd done worked correctly because I was using the (s)
shortcut, but selecting the same option using arrow‑key → Enter on
“Switch approval mode” was preventing the user from subsequently exiting
the Switch approval mode dialog, requiring a ^C to quit codex entirely.
With this fix, both entry methods work correctly in my testing.
Per codex:
Issue
- When you navigated down (↓) to “Switch approval mode (s)” in the Shell
Command review dialog and pressed Enter, the ApprovalModeOverlay would
open—but because the underlying `TerminalChatCommandReview` component
stayed mounted (albeit disabled), its own Ink input handlers immediately
re‑captured the same key events and re‑opened the overlay as soon as you
hit Esc or Enter again. In practice this made it impossible to exit the
submenu.
Root cause
- We only disabled the SelectInput via `isDisabled`, but never fully
unmounted the review UI when an overlay was shown, so its `useInput` and
`<Select>` hooks were still active and “stealing” keys.
Fix
- In `terminal-chat.tsx` we now only render `<TerminalChatInput>` (and
by extension `TerminalChatCommandReview`) when `overlayMode === "none"`.
That unmounts all of its key handlers whenever any overlay (history,
model, approval, help, diff) is open, so no input leaks through.
Files changed
- **src/components/chat/terminal-chat.tsx**: Wrapped the entire
`<TerminalChatInput>` block in `overlayMode === "none" && agent`
With that in place, arrow‑key → Enter on “Switch approval mode”
correctly opens the overlay, and then you can use Enter/Esc inside the
overlay without getting stuck or immediately re‑opening it.
It appears that use of `isLoggingEnabled()` was erroneously copypasta'd
in many places. This PR updates its docstring to clarify that should
only be used to avoid constructing a potentially expensive docstring.
With this change, the only function that merits/uses this check is
`execCommand()`.

https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/160 introduced a call to `exec()`
that takes a format string as an argument, but it is not clear that the
expansions within the format string are escaped safely. As written, it
is possible a carefully crafted command (e.g., if `cwd` were `"; && rm
-rf` or something...) could run arbitrary code.
Moving to `spawn()` makes this a bit better, as now at least `spawn()`
itself won't run an arbitrary process, though I suppose `osascript`
itself still could if the value passed to `-e` were abused. I'm not
clear on the escaping rules for AppleScript to ensure that `safePreview`
and `cwd` are injected safely.

This check was lost in https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/287. Both
the root folder and `codex-cli/` have their own `pnpm format` commands
that check the formatting of different things.
Also ran `pnpm format:fix` to fix the formatting violations that got in
while this was disabled in CI.

Implements https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/392
When the user is in suggest or auto-edit mode and gets an approval
request, they now have an option in the `Shell Command` dialog to:
`Switch approval mode (v)`
That option brings up the standard `Switch approval mode` dialog,
allowing the user to switch into the desired mode, then drops them back
to the `Shell Command` dialog's `Allow command?` prompt, allowing them
to approve the current command and let the agent continue doing the rest
of what it was doing without interruption.
```

Adding in an option to turn on flex processing mode to reduce costs when

Added the ability to compact. Not sure if I should switch the model over
to gpt-4.1 for longer context or if keeping the current model is fine.
Also I'm not sure if setting the compacted to system is best practice,
would love feedback 😄
Mentioned in this issue: https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/230
This adds support for a new flag, `-w,--writable-root`, that can be
specified multiple times to _amend_ the list of folders that should be
configured as "writable roots" by the sandbox used in `full-auto` mode.
Values that are passed as relative paths will be resolved to absolute
paths.
Incidentally, this required updating a number of the `agent*.test.ts`
files: it feels like some of the setup logic across those tests could be
consolidated.
In my testing, it seems that this might be slightly out of distribution
for the model, as I had to explicitly tell it to run `apply_patch` and
that it had the permissions to write those files (initially, it just
showed me a diff and told me to apply it myself). Nevertheless, I think
this is a good starting point.
# Shell Command Explanation Option
## Description
This PR adds an option to explain shell commands when the user is
prompted to approve them (Fixes#110). When reviewing a shell command,
users can now select "Explain this command" to get a detailed
explanation of what the command does before deciding whether to approve
or reject it.
## Changes
- Added a new "EXPLAIN" option to the `ReviewDecision` enum
- Updated the command review UI to include an "Explain this command (x)"
option
- Implemented the logic to send the command to the LLM for explanation
using the same model as the agent
- Added a display for the explanation in the command review UI
- Updated all relevant components to pass the explanation through the
component tree
## Benefits
- Improves user understanding of shell commands before approving them
- Reduces the risk of approving potentially harmful commands
- Enhances the educational aspect of the tool, helping users learn about
shell commands
- Maintains the same workflow with minimal UI changes
## Testing
- Manually tested the explanation feature with various shell commands
- Verified that the explanation is displayed correctly in the UI
- Confirmed that the user can still approve or reject the command after
viewing the explanation
## Screenshots
## Additional Notes
The explanation is generated using the same model as the agent, ensuring
consistency in the quality and style of explanations.

## Description
This PR fixes the issue where the CLI can't continue after interrupting
the assistant with ESC ESC (Fixes#114). The problem was caused by
duplicate code in the `cancel()` method and improper state reset after
cancellation.
## Changes
- Fixed duplicate code in the `cancel()` method of the `AgentLoop` class
- Added proper reset of the `currentStream` property in the `cancel()`
method
- Created a new `AbortController` after aborting the current one to
ensure future tool calls work
- Added a system message to indicate the interruption to the user
- Added a comprehensive test to verify the fix
## Benefits
- Users can now continue using the CLI after interrupting the assistant
- Improved user experience by providing feedback when interruption
occurs
- Better state management in the agent loop
## Testing
- Added a dedicated test that verifies the agent can process new input
after cancellation
- Manually tested the fix by interrupting the assistant and confirming
that new input is processed correctly
