## 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="$tmp_dir/npm-cache" python3
./scripts/stage_npm_packages.py --release-version 0.125.0 --workflow-url
https://github.com/openai/codex/actions/runs/26131514935 --package codex
--allow-legacy-codex-package --output-dir "$tmp_dir"`
- `node codex-cli/bin/codex.js --version`

## Summary
Standalone installs should exercise the same canonical package archive
layout that release builds produce, rather than unpacking npm platform
packages and reconstructing a parallel install tree.
This updates `install.sh` and `install.ps1` to prefer
`codex-package-<target>.tar.gz` plus `codex-package_SHA256SUMS`
introduced in https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/23635, authenticate
the checksum manifest against GitHub release metadata, verify the
selected package archive against the authenticated manifest, and install
the package archive directly.
## Compatibility Notes
Package installs still leave a compatibility command at `current/codex`
for managed daemon flows, while visible command shims point at
`bin/codex` inside the package layout.
Recent releases that predate package archives still publish per-platform
npm artifacts, so both installers keep a legacy platform npm fallback
for those versions and verify those archives against release metadata
directly.
Releases old enough to publish only the single root
`codex-npm-<version>.tgz` archive are intentionally out of scope. The
installers fail clearly when neither package archives nor per-platform
npm archives are present.
On Windows, the runtime helper lookups now recognize package-layout
installs where `codex.exe` runs from `bin/`, so
`codex-command-runner.exe` and `codex-windows-sandbox-setup.exe` resolve
from the top-level `codex-resources/` directory. The direct-sibling and
older sibling-resource fallbacks are preserved.
## Test plan
- `sh -n scripts/install/install.sh`
- `bash -n scripts/install/install.sh`
- `pwsh -NoProfile -Command '$tokens=$null; $errors=$null; $null =
[System.Management.Automation.Language.Parser]::ParseFile("scripts/install/install.ps1",
[ref]$tokens, [ref]$errors); if ($errors.Count) { $errors | Format-List
*; exit 1 }'`
- `HOME="$home_dir" CODEX_HOME="$tmp_dir/codex-home"
CODEX_INSTALL_DIR="$bin_dir" PATH="$bin_dir:$PATH" sh
scripts/install/install.sh --release 0.125.0`
- Verified the 0.125.0 isolated install leaves the visible command
pointed at `current/codex` and includes the legacy `codex-resources/rg`
payload.
- `cargo test -p codex-windows-sandbox`
- `just fix -p codex-windows-sandbox`

## Why
The package builder should describe the binaries it is actually
packaging, not require callers to restate release metadata out of band.
A caller-provided `--version` flag can drift from the workspace version,
but running the target entrypoint to discover its version breaks
cross-target packages when the produced binary cannot execute on the
build host.
This PR keeps package metadata tied to the repository source of truth by
reading `[workspace.package].version` from `codex-rs/Cargo.toml`. It
also prepares the package layout for `codex-app-server` packages: the
same package structure can now represent either the CLI entrypoint or
the app-server entrypoint while keeping shared sidecars such as `rg`,
`bwrap`, and Windows sandbox helpers in the existing package
directories.
## What changed
- Removes the `--version` CLI flag from
`scripts/build_codex_package.py`.
- Adds Cargo.toml version discovery for `codex-package.json.version` via
`codex-rs/Cargo.toml`.
- Adds `--entrypoint-bin` so callers can package a prebuilt entrypoint
instead of rebuilding it with Cargo.
- Makes `--variant` an explicit choice between `codex` and
`codex-app-server`, and uses it to select the cargo binary and packaged
`bin/` entrypoint name.
- Updates `scripts/codex_package/README.md` to document variants,
prebuilt entrypoints, and Cargo.toml version detection.
## Verification
- Compiled `scripts/build_codex_package.py` and
`scripts/codex_package/*.py` with `PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1`.
- Ran `scripts/build_codex_package.py --help` and verified `--version`
is gone while `--variant` and `--entrypoint-bin` are present.
- Verified the package builder reads version `0.0.0` from
`codex-rs/Cargo.toml`.
- Built a fake cross-target `codex-app-server` package using a
non-executable `--entrypoint-bin`; verified metadata records version
`0.0.0`, variant `codex-app-server`, and `bin/codex-app-server` as the
entrypoint.
## Why
The package builder should be easy to run during local iteration.
Requiring callers to provide both a target triple and an output
directory every time makes the common host-package case more awkward
than necessary.
This PR keeps explicit overrides available, but makes the default
invocation useful: build for the current host platform and place the
package in a fresh temporary directory. Because a temp output path is
otherwise easy to lose, the builder continues to print the final package
directory path when it completes.
## What changed
- Makes `--target` optional and maps the host OS/architecture to
supported Codex package target triples.
- Uses GNU Linux target triples for Linux host defaults, while keeping
the musl targets available for release jobs that pass `--target`
explicitly.
- Makes `--package-dir` optional and creates a new `codex-package-*`
temp directory when omitted.
- Documents the new defaults in `scripts/codex_package/README.md`.
## Verification
- Compiled `scripts/build_codex_package.py` and
`scripts/codex_package/*.py` with `PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1`.
- Ran `scripts/build_codex_package.py --help` from outside the repo.
- Verified Linux host detection maps `x86_64` and `aarch64` to GNU
target triples.
- Ran a fake-Cargo package build while omitting both `--target` and
`--package-dir`; verified the generated metadata target, expected
package files, and printed temp package path.
- Ran a fake-Cargo package build for `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu` and
verified `codex`, `bwrap`, and `rg` are assembled into the package.
## Why
The Codex package builder should produce a complete package without
requiring callers to pre-populate `rg` under `codex-cli/vendor` or have
`dotslash` installed on `PATH`. The repo already tracks the
authoritative DotSlash manifest in `codex-cli/bin/rg`, so the builder
can read that metadata directly and fetch the correct ripgrep archive
for the target it is packaging.
## What changed
- Added `scripts/codex_package/ripgrep.py` to parse `codex-cli/bin/rg`
after stripping the shebang, select the target platform entry, download
the configured artifact, and verify the recorded size and SHA-256
digest.
- Added a cache under `$TMPDIR/codex-package/<target>-rg` so verified
archives can be reused without fetching again.
- Extracted `rg`/`rg.exe` from `tar.gz` and `zip` artifacts into the
package-builder cache, then copied that into `codex-path` through the
existing package layout flow.
- Kept `--rg-bin` as an explicit local override for offline tests and
unusual local workflows.
- Documented the default `rg` fetch/cache behavior in
`scripts/codex_package/README.md`.
## Verification
- Ran wrapper/module syntax compilation.
- Ran `scripts/build_codex_package.py --help` from `/private/tmp`.
- Ran a local manifest fetch test covering shebang-stripped manifest
parsing, `tar.gz` extraction, `zip` extraction, size/SHA-256
verification, and cache reuse after deleting the original source
archives.
- Ran fake-cargo package/archive builds for macOS, Linux, and Windows
target layouts with `--rg-bin`, including an assertion that generated
tar archives contain no duplicate member names.

## Why
Codex CLI packaging is currently split across npm staging, standalone
installers, and release bundle creation, which makes it hard to define
and validate a single valid package directory. This adds the first
standalone package builder so later release paths can converge on the
same canonical layout.
## What changed
- Added `scripts/build_codex_package.py` as the stable executable
wrapper around `scripts/codex_package`.
- Added modules for CLI parsing, target metadata, grouped cargo builds,
package layout validation, and archive writing.
- The builder creates a package directory with `codex-package.json`,
`bin/`, `codex-resources/`, and `codex-path`, and can serialize it as
`.tar.gz`, `.tar.zst`, or `.zip`.
- Source-built artifacts are built by one grouped `cargo build`: `codex`
for all targets, `bwrap` for Linux, and the Windows sandbox helpers for
Windows. `rg` remains an input because it is vendored from upstream
rather than built from this repo.
- Added `scripts/codex_package/README.md` to document the package
layout, source-built artifacts, and cargo profile behavior.
## Verification
- Ran wrapper/module syntax compilation.
- Ran `scripts/build_codex_package.py --help` from `/private/tmp`.
- Ran fake-cargo package/archive builds for macOS, Linux, and Windows
target layouts, including an assertion that generated tar archives
contain no duplicate member names.

## Why
Bazel CI was not actually exercising some sharded Rust integration-test
targets on macOS. The `rules_rust` sharding wrapper expects a symlink
runfiles tree, but this repo runs Bazel with `--noenable_runfiles`. In
that configuration the wrapper could fail to find the generated test
binary, produce an empty test list, and exit successfully. That made
targets such as `//codex-rs/core:core-all-test` look green even when
Cargo CI could still catch failures in the same Rust tests.
The coverage gap appears to have been introduced by
[#18082](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18082), which enabled
rules_rust native sharding on `//codex-rs/core:core-all-test` and the
other large Rust test labels. The manifest-runfiles setup itself
predates that change in
[#10098](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/10098), but #18082 is
where the affected integration tests started running through the
incompatible rules_rust sharding wrapper.
[#18913](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18913) fixed the same
class of issue for wrapped unit-test shards, but integration-test shards
were still going through the rules_rust wrapper until this PR.
We still do not have the V8/code-mode pieces stable under the Bazel CI
cross-compile setup, so this keeps those tests out of Bazel while
restoring coverage for the rest of the sharded Rust integration suites.
Cargo CI remains responsible for V8/code-mode coverage for now.
This change did uncover a real failing core test on `main`:
`approved_folder_write_request_permissions_unblocks_later_apply_patch`.
That fix is split into
[#21060](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/21060), which enables the
`apply_patch` tool in the test, teaches the aggregate core test binary
to dispatch the sandboxed filesystem helper, canonicalizes the macOS
temp patch target, and isolates the core test harness from managed
local/enterprise config. Keeping that fix separate lets this PR stay
focused on restoring Bazel coverage while documenting the first failure
it exposed.
## What changed
- Build sharded Rust integration tests as manual `*-bin` binaries and
run them through the existing manifest-aware `workspace_root_test`
launcher.
- Keep Bazel sharding on the launcher target so Rust test cases are
still distributed by stable test-name hashing.
- Configure Bazel CI to skip Rust tests whose names contain
`suite::code_mode::`.
- Exclude the standalone `codex-rs/code-mode` and `codex-rs/v8-poc`
unit-test targets from `bazel.yml`.
## Verification
- `bazel query --output=build //codex-rs/core:core-all-test` now shows
`workspace_root_test` wrapping `//codex-rs/core:core-all-test-bin`.
- `bazel test --test_output=all --nocache_test_results
--test_sharding_strategy=disabled //codex-rs/core:core-all-test
--test_filter=suite::request_permissions_tool::approved_folder_write_request_permissions_unblocks_later_apply_patch`
runs the actual Rust test body and passes.
- `bazel test --test_output=errors --nocache_test_results
--test_env=CODEX_BAZEL_TEST_SKIP_FILTERS=suite::code_mode::
//codex-rs/core:core-all-test` runs the sharded target with code-mode
skipped and passes overall locally, with one flaky attempt retried by
the existing `flaky = True` setting.
## Why
#20585 moved the Windows Bazel test job to the cross-compile path, but
the Windows Bazel clippy and verify-release-build jobs were still using
the native Windows/MSVC-host fallback. Those two jobs became the slowest
Windows PR legs, even though both are build-only signal and do not need
to execute the resulting binaries.
## What Changed
- Switches the Windows Bazel clippy job from
`--windows-msvc-host-platform` to `--windows-cross-compile`, so clippy
build actions use Linux RBE while still targeting
`x86_64-pc-windows-gnullvm`.
- Switches the Windows Bazel verify-release-build job to
`--windows-cross-compile` as well. This job only compiles
`cfg(not(debug_assertions))` Rust code under `fastbuild`, so it does not
need a native Windows build host.
- Keeps the old `--skip_incompatible_explicit_targets` behavior only for
fork/community PRs without `BUILDBUDDY_API_KEY`, where `run-bazel-ci.sh`
falls back to the local Windows MSVC-host shape.
- Adds `--windows-cross-compile` support to
`.github/scripts/run-bazel-query-ci.sh`, so target-discovery queries
select the same `ci-windows-cross` config as the subsequent build.
- Threads that option through `scripts/list-bazel-clippy-targets.sh` so
the Windows clippy job discovers targets under the same platform shape
as the subsequent clippy build.
## Verification
Local checks:
```shell
bash -n .github/scripts/run-bazel-query-ci.sh
bash -n scripts/list-bazel-clippy-targets.sh
ruby -e 'require "yaml"; YAML.load_file(".github/workflows/bazel.yml"); puts "ok"'
RUNNER_OS=Linux ./scripts/list-bazel-clippy-targets.sh | grep -c -- '-windows-cross-bin$'
RUNNER_OS=Windows ./scripts/list-bazel-clippy-targets.sh --windows-cross-compile | grep -c -- '-windows-cross-bin$'
```
The Linux target-list check reported `0` Windows-cross internal test
binaries, while the Windows cross target-list check reported `47`,
preserving the test-code clippy coverage shape from the existing Windows
job.
## Status
This is the Bazel PR-CI cross-compilation follow-up to #20485. It is
intentionally split from the Cargo/cargo-xwin release-build PoC so
#20485 can stay as the historical release-build exploration. The
unrelated async-utils test cleanup has been moved to #20686, so this PR
is focused on the Windows Bazel CI path.
The intended tradeoff is now explicit in `.github/workflows/bazel.yml`:
pull requests get the fast Windows cross-compiled Bazel test leg, while
post-merge pushes to `main` run both that fast cross leg and a fully
native Windows Bazel test leg. The native main-only job keeps full
V8/code-mode coverage and gets a 40-minute timeout because it is less
latency-sensitive than PR CI. All other Bazel jobs remain at 30 minutes.
## Why
Windows Bazel PR CI currently does the expensive part of the build on
Windows. A native Windows Bazel test job on `main` completed in about
28m12s, leaving very little headroom under the 30-minute job timeout and
making Windows the slowest PR signal.
#20485 showed that Windows cross-compilation can be materially faster
for Cargo release builds, but PR CI needs Bazel because Bazel owns our
test sharding, flaky-test retries, and integration-test layout. This PR
applies the same high-level shape we already use for macOS Bazel CI:
compile with remote Linux execution, then run platform-specific tests on
the platform runner.
The compromise is deliberately signal-aware: code-mode/V8 changes are
rare enough that PR CI can accept losing the direct V8/code-mode
smoke-test signal temporarily, while `main` still runs the native
Windows job post-merge to catch that class of regression. A follow-up PR
should investigate making the cross-built Windows gnullvm V8 archive
pass the direct V8/code-mode tests so this tradeoff can eventually go
away.
## What Changed
- Adds a `ci-windows-cross` Bazel config that targets
`x86_64-pc-windows-gnullvm`, uses Linux RBE for build actions, and keeps
`TestRunner` actions local on the Windows runner.
- Adds explicit Windows platform definitions for
`windows_x86_64_gnullvm`, `windows_x86_64_msvc`, and a bridge toolchain
that lets gnullvm test targets execute under the Windows MSVC host
platform.
- Updates the Windows Bazel PR test leg to opt into the cross-compile
path via `--windows-cross-compile` and `--remote-download-toplevel`.
- Adds a `test-windows-native-main` job that runs only for `push` events
on `refs/heads/main`, uses the native Windows Bazel path, includes
V8/code-mode smoke tests, and has `timeout-minutes: 40`.
- Keeps fork/community PRs without `BUILDBUDDY_API_KEY` on the previous
local Windows MSVC-host fallback, including
`--host_platform=//:local_windows_msvc` and `--jobs=8`.
- Preserves the existing integration-test shape on non-gnullvm
platforms, while generating Windows-cross wrapper targets only for
`windows_gnullvm`.
- Resolves `CARGO_BIN_EXE_*` values from runfiles at test runtime,
avoiding hard-coded Cargo paths and duplicate test runfiles.
- Extends the V8 Bazel patches enough for the
`x86_64-pc-windows-gnullvm` target and Linux remote execution path.
- Makes the Windows sandbox test cwd derive from `INSTA_WORKSPACE_ROOT`
at runtime when Bazel provides it, because cross-compiled binaries may
contain Linux compile-time paths.
- Keeps the direct V8/code-mode unit smoke tests out of the Windows
cross PR path for now while native Windows CI continues to cover them
post-merge.
## Command Shape
The fast Windows PR test leg invokes the normal Bazel CI wrapper like
this:
```shell
./.github/scripts/run-bazel-ci.sh \
--print-failed-action-summary \
--print-failed-test-logs \
--windows-cross-compile \
--remote-download-toplevel \
-- \
test \
--test_tag_filters=-argument-comment-lint \
--test_verbose_timeout_warnings \
--build_metadata=COMMIT_SHA=${GITHUB_SHA} \
-- \
//... \
-//third_party/v8:all \
-//codex-rs/code-mode:code-mode-unit-tests \
-//codex-rs/v8-poc:v8-poc-unit-tests
```
With the BuildBuddy secret available on Windows, the wrapper selects
`--config=ci-windows-cross` and appends the important Windows-cross
overrides after rc expansion:
```shell
--host_platform=//:rbe
--shell_executable=/bin/bash
--action_env=PATH=/usr/bin:/bin
--host_action_env=PATH=/usr/bin:/bin
--test_env=PATH=${CODEX_BAZEL_WINDOWS_PATH}
```
The native post-merge Windows job intentionally omits
`--windows-cross-compile` and does not exclude the V8/code-mode unit
targets:
```shell
./.github/scripts/run-bazel-ci.sh \
--print-failed-action-summary \
--print-failed-test-logs \
-- \
test \
--test_tag_filters=-argument-comment-lint \
--test_verbose_timeout_warnings \
--build_metadata=COMMIT_SHA=${GITHUB_SHA} \
--build_metadata=TAG_windows_native_main=true \
-- \
//... \
-//third_party/v8:all
```
## Research Notes
The existing macOS Bazel CI config already uses the model we want here:
build actions run remotely with `--strategy=remote`, but `TestRunner`
actions execute on the macOS runner. This PR mirrors that pattern for
Windows with `--strategy=TestRunner=local`.
The important Bazel detail is that `rules_rs` is already targeting
`x86_64-pc-windows-gnullvm` for Windows Bazel PR tests. This PR changes
where the build actions execute; it does not switch the Bazel PR test
target to Cargo, `cargo-nextest`, or the MSVC release target.
Cargo release builds differ from this Bazel path for V8: the normal
Windows Cargo release target is MSVC, and `rusty_v8` publishes prebuilt
Windows MSVC `.lib.gz` archives. The Bazel PR path targets
`windows-gnullvm`; `rusty_v8` does not publish a prebuilt Windows
GNU/gnullvm archive, so this PR builds that archive in-tree. That
Linux-RBE-built gnullvm archive currently crashes in direct V8/code-mode
smoke tests, which is why the workflow keeps native Windows coverage on
`main`.
The less obvious Bazel detail is test wrapper selection. Bazel chooses
the Windows test wrapper (`tw.exe`) from the test action execution
platform, not merely from the Rust target triple. The outer
`workspace_root_test` therefore declares the default test toolchain and
uses the bridge toolchain above so the test action executes on Windows
while its inner Rust binary is built for gnullvm.
The V8 investigation exposed a Windows-client gotcha: even when an
action execution platform is Linux RBE, Bazel can still derive the
genrule shell path from the Windows client. That produced remote
commands trying to run `C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\bash.exe` on Linux
workers. The wrapper now passes `--shell_executable=/bin/bash` with
`--host_platform=//:rbe` for the Windows cross path.
The same Windows-client/Linux-RBE boundary also affected
`third_party/v8:binding_cc`: a multiline genrule command can carry CRLF
line endings into Linux remote bash, which failed as `$'\r'`. That
genrule now keeps the `sed` command on one physical shell line while
using an explicit Starlark join so the shell arguments stay readable.
## Verification
Local checks included:
```shell
bash -n .github/scripts/run-bazel-ci.sh
bash -n workspace_root_test_launcher.sh.tpl
ruby -e "require %q{yaml}; YAML.load_file(%q{.github/workflows/bazel.yml}); puts %q{ok}"
RUNNER_OS=Linux ./scripts/list-bazel-clippy-targets.sh
RUNNER_OS=Windows ./scripts/list-bazel-clippy-targets.sh
RUNNER_OS=Linux ./tools/argument-comment-lint/list-bazel-targets.sh
RUNNER_OS=Windows ./tools/argument-comment-lint/list-bazel-targets.sh
```
The Linux clippy and argument-comment target lists contain zero
`*-windows-cross-bin` labels, while the Windows lists still include 47
Windows-cross internal test binaries.
CI evidence:
- Baseline native Windows Bazel test on `main`: success in about 28m12s,
https://github.com/openai/codex/actions/runs/25206257208/job/73907325959
- Green Windows-cross Bazel run on the split PR before adding the
main-only native leg: Windows test 9m16s, Windows release verify 5m10s,
Windows clippy 4m43s,
https://github.com/openai/codex/actions/runs/25231890068
- The latest SHA adds the explicit PR-vs-main tradeoff in `bazel.yml`;
CI is rerunning on that focused diff.
## Follow-Up
A subsequent PR should investigate making a cross-built Windows binary
work with V8/code-mode enabled. Likely options are either making the
Linux-RBE-built `windows-gnullvm` V8 archive correct at runtime, or
evaluating whether a Bazel MSVC target/toolchain can reuse the same
prebuilt MSVC `rusty_v8` archive shape that Cargo release builds already
use.
## Why
A rerun of the Windows Bazel clippy job after
[#19161](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/19161) had exactly the
cache behavior we wanted in BuildBuddy: zero action-cache misses. Even
so, the GitHub job still took a little over five minutes.
The problem was that the job was paying for two separate Bazel startup
paths:
1. a `bazel query` to discover extra lint targets
2. the real `bazel build --config=clippy ...` invocation
On Windows, that query was bypassing the CI Bazel wrapper, so it did not
reuse the same `--output_user_root`, CI config, or remote-cache setup as
the real build. In practice that meant the rerun could still cold-start
a separate Bazel server before the actual clippy build even began.
## What
- add `.github/scripts/run-bazel-query-ci.sh` to run CI-side Bazel
queries with the same startup and cache-related flags as the main Bazel
command
- switch `scripts/list-bazel-clippy-targets.sh` to use that helper for
manual `rust_test` target discovery
- switch `tools/argument-comment-lint/list-bazel-targets.sh` to use the
same helper
- simplify `.github/scripts/run-argument-comment-lint-bazel.sh` so its
Windows-only query path also goes through the shared helper
This keeps the target-discovery queries aligned with the later
build/test invocation instead of treating them as a separate cold Bazel
session.
## Verification
- `bash -n .github/scripts/run-bazel-query-ci.sh`
- `bash -n scripts/list-bazel-clippy-targets.sh`
- `bash -n tools/argument-comment-lint/list-bazel-targets.sh`
- `bash -n .github/scripts/run-argument-comment-lint-bazel.sh`
- mocked a Windows invocation of `run-bazel-query-ci.sh` and verified it
forwards `--output_user_root`, `--config=ci-windows`, the BuildBuddy

## Summary
This PR significantly improves the standalone installer experience.
The main changes are:
1. We now install the codex binary and other dependencies in a
subdirectory under CODEX_HOME.
(`CODEX_HOME/packages/standalone/releases/...`)
2. We replace the `codex.js` launcher that npm/bun rely on with logic in
the Rust binary that automatically resolves its dependencies (like
ripgrep)
## Motivation
A few design constraints pushed this work.
1. Currently, the entrypoint to codex is through `codex.js`, which
forces a node dependency to kick off our rust app. We want to move away
from this so that the entrypoint to codex does not rely on node or
external package managers.
2. Right now, the native script adds codex and its dependencies directly
to user PATH. Given that codex is likely to add more binary dependencies
than ripgrep, we want a solution which does not add arbitrary binaries
to user PATH -- the only one we want to add is the `codex` command
itself.
3. We want upgrades to be atomic. We do not want scenarios where
interrupting an upgrade command can move codex into undefined state (for
example, having a new codex binary but an old ripgrep binary). This was
~possible with the old script.
4. Currently, the Rust binary uses heuristics to determine which
installer created it. These heuristics are flaky and are tied to the
`codex.js` launcher. We need a more stable/deterministic way to
determine how the binary was installed for standalone.
5. We do not want conflicting codex installations on PATH. For example,
the user installing via npm, then installing via brew, then installing
via standalone would make it unclear which version of codex is being
launched and make it tough for us to determine the right upgrade
command.
## Design
### Standalone package layout
Standalone installs now live under `CODEX_HOME/packages/standalone`:
```text
$CODEX_HOME/
packages/
standalone/
current -> releases/0.111.0-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl
releases/
0.111.0-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl/
codex
codex-resources/
rg
```
where `standalone/current` is a symlink to a release directory.
On Windows, the release directory has the same shape, with `.exe` names
and Windows helpers in `codex-resources`:
```text
%CODEX_HOME%\
packages\
standalone\
current -> releases\0.111.0-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc
releases\
0.111.0-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc\
codex.exe
codex-resources\
rg.exe
codex-command-runner.exe
codex-windows-sandbox-setup.exe
```
This gives us:
- atomic upgrades because we can fully stage a release before switching
`standalone/current`
- a stable way for the binary to recognize a standalone install from its
canonical `current_exe()` path under CODEX_HOME
- a clean place for binary dependencies like `rg`, Windows sandbox
helpers, and, in the future, our custom `zsh` etc
### Command location
On Unix, we add a symlink at `~/.local/bin/codex` which points directly
to the `$CODEX_HOME/packages/standalone/current/codex` binary. This
becomes the main entrypoint for the CLI.
On Windows, we store the link at
`%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\OpenAI\Codex\bin`.
### PATH persistence
This is a tricky part of the PR, as there's no ~super reliable way to
ensure that we end up on PATH without significant tradeoffs.
Most Unix variants will have `~/.local/bin` on PATH already, which means
we *should* be fine simply registering the command there in most cases.
However, there are cases where this is not the case. In these cases, we
directly edit the profile depending on the shell we're in.
- macOS zsh: `~/.zprofile`
- macOS bash: `~/.bash_profile`
- Linux zsh: `~/.zshrc`
- Linux bash: `~/.bashrc`
- fallback: `~/.profile`
On Windows, we update the User `Path` environment variable directly and
we don't need to worry about shell profiles.
### Standalone runtime detection
This PR adds a new shared crate, `codex-install-context`, which computes
install ownership once per process and caches it in a `OnceLock`.
That context includes:
- install manager (`Standalone`, `Npm`, `Bun`, `Brew`, `Other`)
- the managed standalone release directory, when applicable
- the managed standalone `codex-resources` directory, when present
- the resolved `rg_command`
The standalone path is detected by canonicalizing `current_exe()`,
canonicalizing CODEX_HOME via `find_codex_home()`, and checking whether
the binary is running from under
`$CODEX_HOME/packages/standalone/releases`.
We intentionally do not use a release metadata file. The binary path is
the source of truth.
### Dependency resolution
For standalone installs, `grep_files` now resolves bundled `rg` from
`codex-resources` next to the Codex binary.
For npm/bun/brew/other installs, `grep_files` falls back to resolving
`rg` from PATH.
For Windows standalone installs, Windows sandbox helpers are still found
as direct siblings when present. If they are not direct siblings, the
lookup also checks the sibling `codex-resources` directory.
### TUI update path
The TUI now has `UpdateAction::StandaloneUnix` and
`UpdateAction::StandaloneWindows`, which rerun the standalone install
commands.
Unix update command:
```sh
sh -c "curl -fsSL https://chatgpt.com/codex/install.sh | sh"
```
Windows update command:
```powershell
powershell -c "irm https://chatgpt.com/codex/install.ps1|iex"
```
The Windows updater runs PowerShell directly. We do this because `cmd
/C` would parse the `|iex` as a cmd pipeline instead of passing it to
PowerShell.
## Additional installer behavior
- standalone installs now warn about conflicting npm/bun/brew-managed
`codex` installs and offer to uninstall them
- same-version reruns do not redownload the release if it is already
staged locally
## Testing
Installer smoke tests run:
- macOS: fresh install into isolated `HOME` and `CODEX_HOME` with
`scripts/install/install.sh --release latest`
- macOS: reran the installer against the same isolated install to verify
the same-version/update path and PATH block idempotence
- macOS: verified the installed `codex --version` and bundled
`codex-resources/rg --version`
- Windows: parsed `scripts/install/install.ps1` with PowerShell via
`[scriptblock]::Create(...)`
- Windows: verified the standalone update action builds a direct
PowerShell command and does not route the `irm ...|iex` command through
`cmd /C`

## Summary
- reuse a shared remote exec-server for remote-aware codex-core
integration tests within a test binary process
- keep per-test remote cwd creation and cleanup so tests retain
workspace isolation
- leave codex_self_exe, codex_linux_sandbox_exe, cwd_path(), and
workspace_path() behavior unchanged
## Validation
- rustfmt codex-rs/core/tests/common/test_codex.rs
- git diff --check
- CI is running on the updated branch
## Why
`main` recently needed
[#17691](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/17691) because code behind
`cfg(not(debug_assertions))` was not being compiled by the Bazel PR
workflow. Our existing CI only built the fast/debug configuration, so
PRs could stay green while release-only Rust code still failed to
compile. This PR adds a release-style compile check that is cheap enough
to run on every PR.
## What Changed
- Added a `verify-release-build` job to `.github/workflows/bazel.yml`.
- Represented each supported OS once in that job's matrix: x64 Linux,
arm64 macOS, and x64 Windows.
- Kept the build close to fastbuild cost by using
`--compilation_mode=fastbuild` while forcing Rust to compile with
`-Cdebug-assertions=no`, which makes `cfg(not(debug_assertions))` true
without also turning on release optimizations or debug-info generation.
- Added comments in `.github/workflows/bazel.yml` and
`scripts/list-bazel-release-targets.sh` to make the job's intent and
target scope explicit.
- Restored the Bazel repository cache save behavior to run after every
non-cancelled job, matching
[#16926](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/16926), and removed the
now-unused `repository-cache-hit` output from `prepare-bazel-ci`.
- Reused the shared `prepare-bazel-ci` action from the parent PR so the
new job does not duplicate Bazel setup boilerplate.
## Verification
- Used `bazel aquery` on `//codex-rs/tui:codex-tui` to confirm the Rust
compile still uses `opt-level=0` and `debuginfo=0` while passing
`-Cdebug-assertions=no`.
- Parsed `.github/workflows/bazel.yml` as YAML locally.
- Ran `bash -n scripts/list-bazel-release-targets.sh`.
## Summary\n- add an exec-server package-local test helper binary that
can run exec-server and fs-helper flows\n- route exec-server filesystem
tests through that helper instead of cross-crate codex helper
binaries\n- stop relying on Bazel-only extra binary wiring for these
tests\n\n## Testing\n- not run (per repo guidance for codex changes)

When running with remote executor the cwd is the remote path. Today we
check for existence of a local directory on startup and attempt to load
config from it.
For remote executors don't do that.
## Summary
- Convert unified exec integration tests that can run against the remote
executor to use the remote-aware test harness.
- Create workspace directories through the executor filesystem for
remote runs.
- Install `python3` and `zsh` in the remote test container so restored
Python/zsh-based test commands work in fresh Ubuntu containers.
## Validation
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --test all unified_exec_defaults_to_pipe`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --test all unified_exec_can_enable_tty`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --test all unified_exec`
- Remote on `codex-remote`: `source scripts/test-remote-env.sh && cd
codex-rs && cargo test -p codex-core --test all unified_exec`
- `just fix -p codex-core`
## Why
Bazel CI had two independent Windows issues:
- The workflow saved/restored `~/.cache/bazel-repo-cache`, but
`.bazelrc` configured `common:ci-windows
--repository_cache=D:/a/.cache/bazel-repo-cache`, so `actions/cache` and
Bazel could point at different directories.
- The Windows `Bazel clippy` job passed the full explicit target list
from `//codex-rs/...`, but some of those explicit targets are
intentionally incompatible with `//:local_windows`.
`run-argument-comment-lint-bazel.sh` already handles that with
`--skip_incompatible_explicit_targets`; the clippy workflow path did
not.
I also tried switching the workflow cache path to
`D:\a\.cache\bazel-repo-cache`, but the Windows clippy job repeatedly
failed with `Failed to restore: Cache service responded with 400`, so
the final change standardizes on `$HOME/.cache/bazel-repo-cache` and
makes cache restore non-fatal.
## What Changed
- Expose one repository-cache path from
`.github/actions/setup-bazel-ci/action.yml` and export that path as
`BAZEL_REPOSITORY_CACHE` so `run-bazel-ci.sh` passes it to Bazel after
`--config=ci-*`.
- Move `actions/cache/restore` out of the composite action into
`.github/workflows/bazel.yml`, and make restore failures non-fatal
there.
- Save exactly the exported cache path in `.github/workflows/bazel.yml`.
- Remove `common:ci-windows
--repository_cache=D:/a/.cache/bazel-repo-cache` from `.bazelrc` so the
Windows CI config no longer disagrees with the workflow cache path.
- Pass `--skip_incompatible_explicit_targets` in the Windows `Bazel
clippy` job so incompatible explicit targets do not fail analysis while
the lint aspect still traverses compatible Rust dependencies.
## Verification
- Parsed `.github/actions/setup-bazel-ci/action.yml` and
`.github/workflows/bazel.yml` with Ruby's YAML loader.
- Resubmitted PR `#16740`; CI is rerunning on the amended commit.
## Why
`cargo clippy --tests` was catching warnings in inline `#[cfg(test)]`
code that the Bazel PR Clippy lane missed. The existing Bazel invocation
linted `//codex-rs/...`, but that did not apply Clippy to the generated
manual `rust_test` binaries, so warnings in targets such as
`//codex-rs/state:state-unit-tests-bin` only surfaced as plain compile
warnings instead of failing the lint job.
## What Changed
- added `scripts/list-bazel-clippy-targets.sh` to expand the Bazel
Clippy target set with the generated manual `rust_test` rules while
still excluding `//codex-rs/v8-poc:all`
- updated `.github/workflows/bazel.yml` to use that expanded target list
in the Bazel Clippy PR job
- updated `just bazel-clippy` to use the same target expansion locally
- updated `.github/workflows/README.md` to document that the Bazel PR
lint lane now covers inline `#[cfg(test)]` code
## Verification
- `./scripts/list-bazel-clippy-targets.sh` includes
`//codex-rs/state:state-unit-tests-bin`
- `bazel build --config=clippy -- //codex-rs/state:state-unit-tests-bin`
now fails with the same unused import in `state/src/runtime/logs.rs`
that `cargo clippy --tests` reports
This is the part 1 of 2 PRs that will delete the `tui` /
`tui_app_server` split. This part simply deletes the existing `tui`
directory and marks the `tui_app_server` feature flag as removed. I left
the `tui_app_server` feature flag in place for now so its presence
doesn't result in an error. It is simply ignored.
Part 2 will rename the `tui_app_server` directory `tui`. I did this as
two parts to reduce visible code churn.
Add environment manager that is a singleton and is created early in
app-server (before skill manager, before config loading).
Use an environment variable to point to a running exec server.
`CODEX_TEST_REMOTE_ENV` will make `test_codex` start the executor
"remotely" (inside a docker container) turning any integration test into
remote test.
Prevent binaries >500KB from being committed. And maintain an allowlist
if we need to bypass on a case-by-case basis.
I checked the currently tracked binary-like assets in the repo. There
are only 5 obvious committed binaries by extension/MIME type:
- `.github/codex-cli-splash.png`: `838,131` bytes, about `818 KiB`
- `codex-rs/vendor/bubblewrap/bubblewrap.jpg`: `40,239` bytes, about `39
KiB`
-
`codex-rs/skills/src/assets/samples/skill-creator/assets/skill-creator.png`:
`1,563` bytes
- `codex-rs/skills/src/assets/samples/openai-docs/assets/openai.png`:
`1,429` bytes
-
`codex-rs/skills/src/assets/samples/skill-installer/assets/skill-installer.png`:
`1,086` bytes
So `500 KB` looks like a good default for this repo. It would only trip
on one existing intentional asset, which keeps the allowlist small and
the policy easy to understand.
Here's a smoke-test from a throwaway branch that tries to commit a large
binary:
https://github.com/openai/codex/actions/runs/22971558828/job/66689330435?pr=14383
## Summary
- add a direct install script for Windows at
`scripts/install/install.ps1`
- extend release staging so `install.ps1` is published alongside
`install.sh`
- install the Windows runtime payload (`codex.exe`, `rg.exe`, and helper
binaries) from the existing platform npm package
## Dependencies
- Depends on https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/12740
## Testing
- Smoke-tested with powershell
## Summary
- add a direct install script for macOS and Linux at
`scripts/install/install.sh`
- stage `install.sh` into `dist/` during release so it is published as a
GitHub release asset
- reuse the existing platform npm payload so the installer includes both
`codex` and `rg`
## Testing
- `bash -n scripts/install/install.sh`
- local macOS `curl | sh` smoke test against a locally served copy of
the script
## Why this change
When Cargo dependencies change, it is easy to end up with an unexpected
local diff in
`MODULE.bazel.lock` after running Bazel. That creates noisy working
copies and pushes lockfile fixes
later in the cycle. This change addresses that pain point directly.
## What this change enforces
The expected invariant is: after dependency updates, `MODULE.bazel.lock`
is already in sync with
Cargo resolution. In practice, running `bazel mod deps` should not
mutate the lockfile in a clean
state. If it does, the dependency update is incomplete.
## How this is enforced
This change adds a single lockfile check script that snapshots
`MODULE.bazel.lock`, runs
`bazel mod deps`, and fails if the file changes. The same check is wired
into local workflow
commands (`just bazel-lock-update` and `just bazel-lock-check`) and into
Bazel CI (Linux x86_64 job)
so drift is caught early and consistently. The developer documentation
is updated in
`codex-rs/docs/bazel.md` and `AGENTS.md` to make the expected flow
explicit.
`MODULE.bazel.lock` is also refreshed in this PR to match the current
Cargo dependency resolution.
## Expected developer workflow
After changing `Cargo.toml` or `Cargo.lock`, run `just
bazel-lock-update`, then run
`just bazel-lock-check`, and include any resulting `MODULE.bazel.lock`
update in the same change.
## Testing
Ran `just bazel-lock-check` locally.
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)
- `@openai/codex@alpha-darwin-arm64`
- `@openai/codex@alpha-darwin-x64`
- `@openai/codex@alpha-linux-arm64`
- `@openai/codex@alpha-linux-x64`
- `@openai/codex@alpha-win32-arm64`
- `@openai/codex@alpha-win32-x64`
- `@openai/codex-responses-api-proxy@alpha`
- `@openai/codex-sdk@alpha`
As an example, the `package.json` for `@openai/codex@alpha` (using
`0.99.0-alpha.17` as the `version`) would be:
```
{
"name": "@openai/codex",
"version": "0.99.0-alpha.17",
"license": "Apache-2.0",
"bin": {
"codex": "bin/codex.js"
},
"type": "module",
"engines": {
"node": ">=16"
},
"files": [
"bin"
],
"repository": {
"type": "git",
"url": "git+https://github.com/openai/codex.git",
"directory": "codex-cli"
},
"packageManager": "pnpm@10.28.2+sha512.41872f037ad22f7348e3b1debbaf7e867cfd448f2726d9cf74c08f19507c31d2c8e7a11525b983febc2df640b5438dee6023ebb1f84ed43cc2d654d2bc326264",
"optionalDependencies": {
"@openai/codex-linux-x64": "npm:@openai/codex@0.99.0-alpha.17-linux-x64",
"@openai/codex-linux-arm64": "npm:@openai/codex@0.99.0-alpha.17-linux-arm64",
"@openai/codex-darwin-x64": "npm:@openai/codex@0.99.0-alpha.17-darwin-x64",
"@openai/codex-darwin-arm64": "npm:@openai/codex@0.99.0-alpha.17-darwin-arm64",
"@openai/codex-win32-x64": "npm:@openai/codex@0.99.0-alpha.17-win32-x64",
"@openai/codex-win32-arm64": "npm:@openai/codex@0.99.0-alpha.17-win32-arm64"
}
}
```
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.
turns out the ToC was including itself when generating, which messed up
comparisons and sometimes made the file rewrite endlessly.
also fixed the slice so `<!-- End ToC -->` doesn’t get duplicated when
we insert the new ToC.
should behave nicely now - no extra rewrites, no doubled markers.

- drop plan-tool CLI and API toggles across the exec, TUI, MCP server,
and app server code paths
- update tests and configs to reflect the always-on plan tool and guard
workspace restriction tests against env leakage

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 cleans up the monolithic README by breaking it into a set
navigable pages under docs/ (install, getting started, configuration,
authentication, sandboxing and approvals, platform details, FAQ, ZDR,
contributing, license). The top‑level README is now more concise and
intuitive, (with corrected screenshots).
It also consolidates overlapping content from codex-rs/README.md into
the top‑level docs and updates links accordingly. The codex-rs README
remains in place for now as a pointer and for continuity.
Finally, added an extensive config reference table at the bottom of
docs/config.md.

This improves the release process by introducing
`scripts/publish_to_npm.py` to automate publishing to npm (modulo the
human 2fac step).
As part of this, it updates `.github/workflows/rust-release.yml` to
create the artifact for npm using `npm pack`.
And finally, while it is long overdue, this memorializes the release
process in `docs/release_management.md`.
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`.)
