Won Park 0d4351c1b8 [codex] allow CCA image generation and web search extensions (#29909)
## Summary

- allow the standalone image-generation and web-search extensions for
the actor-authorized provider shape used by CCA
- preserve builtin `image_generation` and `web_search` for older models
and existing flows
- keep ordinary non-OpenAI providers excluded from both extensions
- remove only the image extension local managed-AuthManager requirement
that CCA cannot satisfy
- share actor-authorization detection through `ModelProviderInfo`
- keep Core tests focused on routing behavior and cover header-shape
edge cases in `model-provider-info`
- add a Responses Lite regression that verifies both
`image_gen.imagegen` and `web.run`

## Why

CCA uses a provider named `local` with `requires_openai_auth: false` and
a non-empty `x-openai-actor-authorization` header. Core accepts that
provider shape, but both extension provider-name gates rejected it;
image generation additionally required a Codex-managed login.

The standalone paths must coexist with existing builtin tools. New
Responses Lite models can receive `image_gen.imagegen` and `web.run`,
while older models continue using builtin tools.

## Impact

This enables both standalone extensions for CCA once installed
downstream, without removing or changing builtin-tool compatibility for
older models.

## Validation

- `just test -p codex-core
responses_lite_exposes_standalone_tools_for_actor_authorized_provider`
- `just test -p codex-core
responses_lite_uses_standalone_web_search_and_image_generation`
- `just test -p codex-core
hosted_tools_follow_provider_auth_model_and_config_gates`
- `just test -p codex-image-generation-extension`
- `just test -p codex-web-search-extension`
- `just test -p codex-model-provider-info`
- `just fmt`
- `git diff --check`

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

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
  • 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.

Using Codex with your ChatGPT plan

Run codex and select Sign in with ChatGPT. We recommend signing into your ChatGPT account to use Codex as part of your Plus, Pro, Business, Edu, or Enterprise plan. Learn more about what's included in your ChatGPT plan.

You can also use Codex with an API key, but this requires additional setup.
