Felipe Coury 127434cd8b fix(tui): bound startup terminal probes (#20654)
## Summary

Bound TUI startup terminal response probes so unsupported terminals
cannot stall startup for multiple seconds.

This replaces the Unix startup uses of crossterm's blocking response
probes with short `/dev/tty` probes that use nonblocking reads and
`poll` with a 100ms timeout. It covers the initial cursor-position
query, keyboard enhancement support detection, and OSC 10/11
default-color detection. The default-color probe uses one shared
deadline for foreground and background instead of allowing two
independent full waits.

The diagnostic mode/trace env vars from the investigation branch are
intentionally not included. The shipped behavior is simply bounded
probing by default, while non-Unix keeps the existing crossterm fallback
path.

## Details

- Add a private `terminal_probe` module for bounded Unix terminal probes
and response parsers.
- Let `custom_terminal::Terminal` accept a caller-provided initial
cursor position so startup can compute it before constructing the
terminal.
- Use bounded cursor, keyboard enhancement, and default-color probes on
Unix startup.
- Preserve default-color cache behavior so a failed attempted query does
not retry forever.

## Validation

- `cd codex-rs && just fmt`
- `cd codex-rs && cargo test -p codex-tui terminal_probe`
- `cd codex-rs && just fix -p codex-tui`
- `cd codex-rs && just argument-comment-lint`
- `git diff --check`
- `git diff --cached --check`

`cd codex-rs && cargo test -p codex-tui` still aborts on the
pre-existing local stack overflow in
`app::tests::discard_side_thread_keeps_local_state_when_server_close_fails`;
I reproduced that same focused failure on `main` before this PR work, so
it is not introduced by this change.

Manual validation in the VM showed the original crossterm path taking
about 2s per unanswered probe, while bounded probing returned in about
100ms per probe.

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.
