guinness-oai 126bd6e7a8 Update realtime handoff transcript handling (#18597)
## Summary

This PR aims to improve integration between the realtime model and the
codex agent by sharing more context with each other. In particular, we
now share full realtime conversation transcript deltas in addition to
the delegation message.

realtime_conversation.rs now turns a handoff into:
```
<realtime_delegation>
  <input>...</input>
  <transcript_delta>...</transcript_delta>
</realtime_delegation>
```

## Implementation notes

The transcript is accumulated in the realtime websocket layer as parsed
realtime events arrive. When a background-agent handoff is requested,
the current transcript snapshot is copied onto the handoff event and
then serialized by `realtime_conversation.rs` into the hidden realtime
delegation envelope that Codex receives as user-turn context.

For Realtime V2, the session now explicitly enables input audio
transcription, and the parser handles the relevant input/output
transcript completion events so the snapshot includes both user speech
and realtime model responses. The delegation `<input>` remains the
actual handoff request, while `<transcript_delta>` carries the
surrounding conversation history for context.

Reviewers should note that the transcript payload is intended for Codex
context sharing, not UI rendering. The realtime delegation envelope
should stay hidden from the user-facing transcript surface, while still
being included in the background-agent turn so Codex can answer with the
same conversational context the realtime model had.

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.
