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
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.
This introduces `./codex-cli/scripts/stage_release.sh`, which is a shell
script that stages a release for the Node.js module in a temp directory.
It updates the release to include these native binaries:
```
bin/codex-linux-sandbox-arm64
bin/codex-linux-sandbox-x64
```
though this PR does not update Codex CLI to use them yet.
When doing local development, run
`./codex-cli/scripts/install_native_deps.sh` to install these in your
own `bin/` folder.
This PR also updates `README.md` to document the new workflow.

This introduces a Python script (written by Codex!) to verify that the
table of contents in the root `README.md` matches the headings. Like
`scripts/asciicheck.py` in https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/513, it
reports differences by default (and exits non-zero if there are any) and
also has a `--fix` option to synchronize the ToC with the headings.
This will be enforced by CI and the changes to `README.md` in this PR
were generated by the script, so you can see that our ToC was missing
some entries prior to this PR.
This all started because I was going to write a script to autogenerate
the Table of Contents in the root `README.md`, but I noticed that the
`href` for the "Why Codex?" heading was `#whycodex` instead of
`#why-codex`. This piqued my curiosity and it turned out that the space
in "Why Codex?" was not an ASCII space but **U+00A0**, a non-breaking
space, and so GitHub ignored it when generating the `href` for the
heading.
This also meant that when I did a text search for `why codex` in the
`README.md` in VS Code, the "Why Codex" heading did not match because of
the presence of **U+00A0**.
In short, these types of Unicode characters seem like a hazard, so I
decided to introduce this script to flag them, and if desired, to
replace them with "good enough" ASCII equivalents. For now, this only
applies to the root `README.md` file, but I think we should ultimately
apply this across our source code, as well, as we seem to have quite a
lot of non-ASCII Unicode and it's probably going to cause `rg` to miss
things.
Contributions of this PR:
* `./scripts/asciicheck.py`, which takes a list of filepaths and returns
non-zero if any of them contain non-ASCII characters. (Currently, there
is one exception for ✨ aka **U+2728**, though I would like to default to
an empty allowlist and then require all exceptions to be specified as
flags.)
* A `--fix` option that will attempt to rewrite files with violations
using a equivalents from a hardcoded substitution list.
* An update to `ci.yml` to verify `./scripts/asciicheck.py README.md`
succeeds.
* A cleanup of `README.md` using the `--fix` option as well as some
editorial decisions on my part.
* I tried to update the `href`s in the Table of Contents to reflect the
changes in the heading titles. (TIL that if a heading has a character
like `&` surrounded by spaces, it becomes `--` in the generated `href`.)
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.

# Migrate to pnpm for improved monorepo management
## Summary
This PR migrates the Codex repository from npm to pnpm, providing faster
dependency installation, better disk space usage, and improved monorepo
management.
## Changes
- Added `pnpm-workspace.yaml` to define workspace packages
- Added `.npmrc` with optimal pnpm configuration
- Updated root package.json with workspace scripts
- Moved resolutions and overrides to the root package.json
- Updated scripts to use pnpm instead of npm
- Added documentation for the migration
- Updated GitHub Actions workflow for pnpm
## Benefits
- **Faster installations**: pnpm is significantly faster than npm
- **Disk space savings**: pnpm's content-addressable store avoids
duplication
- **Strict dependency management**: prevents phantom dependencies
- **Simplified monorepo management**: better workspace coordination
- **Preparation for Turborepo**: as discussed, this is the first step
before adding Turborepo
## Testing
- Verified that `pnpm install` works correctly
- Verified that `pnpm run build` completes successfully
- Ensured all existing functionality is preserved
## Documentation
Added a detailed migration guide in `PNPM_MIGRATION.md` explaining:
- Why we're migrating to pnpm
- How to use pnpm with this repository
- Common commands and workspace-specific commands
- Monorepo structure and configuration
## Next Steps
As discussed, once this change is stable, we can consider adding
Turborepo as a follow-up enhancement.
