starr-openai 0035d7bd18 Add stdio exec-server listener (#20663)
## Why

This stack adds configured exec-server environments, including
environments reached over stdio. Before client-side stdio transports or
config can use that path, the exec-server binary itself needs a
first-class stdio listen mode so it can speak the same JSON-RPC protocol
over stdin/stdout that it already speaks over websockets.

**Stack position:** this is PR 1 of 5. It is the server-side transport
foundation for the stack.

## What Changed

- Accept `stdio` and `stdio://` for `codex exec-server --listen`.
- Promote the existing stdio `JsonRpcConnection` helper from test-only
code into normal exec-server transport code.
- Add parse coverage for stdio listen URLs while preserving the existing
websocket default.

## Stack

exec-server listener
- 2. https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/20664 - Add stdio exec-server
client transport
- 3. https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/20665 - Make environment
providers own default selection

npm i -g @openai/codex
or brew install --cask codex

Codex CLI is a coding agent from OpenAI that runs locally on your computer.

Codex CLI splash


If you want Codex in your code editor (VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf), install in your IDE.
If you want the desktop app experience, run codex app or visit the Codex App page.
If you are looking for the cloud-based agent from OpenAI, Codex Web, go to chatgpt.com/codex.


Quickstart

Installing and running Codex CLI

Install globally with your preferred package manager:

# Install using npm
npm install -g @openai/codex
# Install using Homebrew
brew install --cask codex

Then simply run codex to get started.

You can also go to the latest GitHub Release and download the appropriate binary for your platform.

Each GitHub Release contains many executables, but in practice, you likely want one of these:

  • macOS
    • Apple Silicon/arm64: codex-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
    • x86_64 (older Mac hardware): codex-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
  • Linux
    • x86_64: codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz
    • arm64: codex-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz

Each archive contains a single entry with the platform baked into the name (e.g., codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl), so you likely want to rename it to codex after extracting it.
