## Why #27920 stopped persisting image-generation items unless their status was `completed`, preventing failed standalone extension items with empty results from being saved. Built-in image generation can instead emit a terminal `response.output_item.done` containing a complete base64 PNG while the item status remains `generating`. In that case, app-server emits no `savedPath`, so Codex Apps can render the inline image but cannot expose a file artifact. ## What changed - Persist image-generation items whenever `result` contains image data. Failed terminal items still have empty results and remain unpersisted. - Update the existing built-in image-generation integration test to cover a terminal `generating` item and verify both `saved_path` and the written PNG bytes. ## Validation - Confirmed with a raw built-in websocket trace: the image progressed through `in_progress`, `generating`, and `partial_image`, then emitted one `response.output_item.done` with `status: "generating"` and a complete PNG result. - `just test -p codex-core builtin_image_generation_call_persisted` is currently blocked before test execution by a pre-existing compile error in `thread-store/src/thread_metadata_sync.rs:171`.
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.
