## Why When a realtime session is open without an active frontend-model handoff, completed Codex assistant messages are currently dropped. That prevents the frontend model from hearing orchestrator preambles and final responses produced by typed turns or other non-handoff work, which makes the two models present as disconnected personas. Active handoffs already forward each completed assistant message, including preambles. This change leaves those V1 and V2 paths intact and fills only the no-active-handoff gap. ## What changed - Send standalone V1 assistant messages through `conversation.handoff.append` with a stable synthetic handoff ID - Send standalone V2 assistant messages as normal `[BACKEND]` `conversation.item.create` message items, then enqueue `response.create` so the frontend model responds - Preserve the existing active V1 and V2 transport and completion behavior - Continue excluding user messages from realtime mirroring - Skip empty output and cap each complete context injection, including its V2 prefix, at 1,000 tokens - Add end-to-end coverage for both wire formats, V2 response creation, preambles, final responses, and truncation ## Test plan - CI
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.
