## Description This PR adds an optional `metadata` field to `ResponseItem` for Responses API calls. Only mechanical plumbing, no actual values populated and sent yet. Turns out just adding a new field to `ResponseItem` has quite a large blast radius already. This change is backwards compatible because `metadata` is optional and omitted when absent, so existing response items and rollout history without it still deserialize and requests that do not set it keep the same wire shape. For provider compatibility, we strip out `metadata` before non-OpenAI Responses requests so Azure and AWS Bedrock never see this field. My followup PR here will actually make use of it to start storing and passing along `turn_id`: https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/28360 ## What changed - Added `ResponseItemMetadata` with optional `turn_id`, plus optional `metadata` on Responses API item variants and inter-agent communication. - Preserved item metadata through response-item rewrites such as truncation, missing tool-output synthesis, compaction history rebuilding, visible-history conversion, rollout/resume, and generated app-server schemas/types. - Strip item metadata from non-OpenAI Responses requests while preserving it for OpenAI-shaped requests. - Updated the mechanical fixture/test construction churn required by the new optional field.
Codex CLI is a coding agent from OpenAI that runs locally on your computer.
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
Run the following on Mac or Linux to install Codex CLI:
curl -fsSL https://chatgpt.com/codex/install.sh | sh
Run the following on Windows to install Codex CLI:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://chatgpt.com/codex/install.ps1 | iex"
Codex CLI can also be installed via the following package managers:
# 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
- Apple Silicon/arm64:
- Linux
- x86_64:
codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz - arm64:
codex-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz
- x86_64:
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.
