## Why `TurnContext` had accumulated dead fields and cached projections of values already owned by its per-turn `Config` or `ModelInfo`. Keeping both copies made ownership unclear and allowed artificial split-brain states, such as a compatibility hash differing from the model metadata it came from. `Prompt` similarly carried a write-only personality after personality selection had already been materialized into its base instructions. This makes the canonical owner explicit: configuration-backed values come from `config`, model-derived values come from `model_info`, and prompts contain only data consumed by request construction. ## What changed - Remove the unused `ghost_snapshot`, `codex_self_exe`, and `thread_source` fields. - Remove duplicate `comp_hash`, `truncation_policy`, `features`, `shell_environment_policy`, `codex_linux_sandbox_exe`, `compact_prompt`, and `tool_mode` fields. - Read those values directly from `TurnContext::config` or `TurnContext::model_info` at their consumers. - Remove the write-only `Prompt::personality` field and its constructor assignments. - Preserve review-turn inheritance of the parent turn's shell policy, Linux sandbox executable, and compact prompt through the review config. ## Testing - `cargo check -p codex-core --tests`
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.
