This should make it more clear that specific tools come from MCP
servers.
#4806 requested that we add the server name but we already do that.
Fixes#4806
Users were running into issues with glibc mismatches on arm64 linux. In
the past, we did not provide a musl build for arm64 Linux because we had
trouble getting the openssl dependency to build correctly. Though today
I just tried the same trick in `Cargo.toml` that we were doing for
`x86_64-unknown-linux-musl` (using `openssl-sys` with `features =
["vendored"]`), so I'm not sure what problem we had in the past the
builds "just worked" today!
Though one tweak that did have to be made is that the integration tests
for Seccomp/Landlock empirically require longer timeouts on arm64 linux,
or at least on the `ubuntu-24.04-arm` GitHub Runner. As such, we change
the timeouts for arm64 in `codex-rs/linux-sandbox/tests/landlock.rs`.
Though in solving this problem, I decided I needed a turnkey solution
for testing the Linux build(s) from my Mac laptop, so this PR introduces
`.devcontainer/Dockerfile` and `.devcontainer/devcontainer.json` to
facilitate this. Detailed instructions are in `.devcontainer/README.md`.
We will update `dotslash-config.json` and other release-related scripts
in a follow-up PR.
As stated in `codex-rs/README.md`:
Today, Codex CLI is written in TypeScript and requires Node.js 22+ to
run it. For a number of users, this runtime requirement inhibits
adoption: they would be better served by a standalone executable. As
maintainers, we want Codex to run efficiently in a wide range of
environments with minimal overhead. We also want to take advantage of
operating system-specific APIs to provide better sandboxing, where
possible.
To that end, we are moving forward with a Rust implementation of Codex
CLI contained in this folder, which has the following benefits:
- The CLI compiles to small, standalone, platform-specific binaries.
- Can make direct, native calls to
[seccomp](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/seccomp.2.html) and
[landlock](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/landlock.7.html) in
order to support sandboxing on Linux.
- No runtime garbage collection, resulting in lower memory consumption
and better, more predictable performance.
Currently, the Rust implementation is materially behind the TypeScript
implementation in functionality, so continue to use the TypeScript
implmentation for the time being. We will publish native executables via
GitHub Releases as soon as we feel the Rust version is usable.
