bxie-openai 37bf42d5d5 [codex] Make realtime startup context truncation deterministic (#18172)
## Summary

- remove the final whole-blob truncation pass from realtime
startup-context assembly
- enforce fixed per-section budgets, including each section heading
- keep the existing per-section caps and raise the overall realtime
startup-context budget to `5300`, matching the sum of those section
budgets
- add focused tests for the new wrapping and section-budget behavior

## Why

The previous flow truncated each section and then middle-truncated the
final combined startup-context blob again. Small input changes could
shift that combined cut point, which made retained context unstable and
caused nondeterministic tests.

## Impact

Startup context now preserves section boundaries and ordering
deterministically. Each section is still budgeted independently, but the
final assembled blob is no longer truncated again as a single opaque
string. To match that design, the overall startup-context token budget
is updated to the sum of the existing section budgets rather than
lowering the section caps.

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.
