## Why This is part of an ongoing attempt to eliminate the TUI's direct dependency on core features. When we moved the TUI to the app server, we left a `legacy_core` shim that re-exported some remaining core symbols for the TUI. The intent was to eventually remove all of these. In this PR, we remove the symbols related to the Windows sandbox. The change should be behavior-neutral and low risk because it's just refactoring and removal of code that is now effectively dead. When working on this PR, I noticed a big existing problem that affects mixed-platform remoting. For example, if you run the TUI on a Linux box and remote into a Windows box, the TUI logic doesn't properly handle Windows sandbox setup properly. Fixing this is beyond the scope of this PR, but I've left a TODO comment in place so we don't forget. ## What changed - Move the remaining TUI-specific sandbox level, setup, telemetry, and read-root helpers into `codex-tui`, calling `codex-windows-sandbox` directly. - Remove the Windows sandbox namespace and read-root grant re-exports from the client-side `legacy_core` facade. - Remove the dormant pre-elevation prompt fallback guarded by the permanently enabled `ELEVATED_SANDBOX_NUX_ENABLED` switch. The reachable elevated and non-elevated setup flows remain unchanged.
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.
