jameswt-oai 44dbae90eb [codex] Centralize Plugin Analytics Metadata (#27102)
This PR moves construction of `PluginTelemetryMetadata` from loader and
model helpers into `PluginsManager`, which already owns installed plugin
state and will eventually perform remote identity enrichment. The
metadata type remains in `codex-plugin`, and serialized analytics events
remain unchanged.

## Before

```mermaid
flowchart LR
    subgraph Events["Analytics event paths"]
        direction TB
        Lifecycle["Local install / uninstall"]
        Config["Enable / disable"]
        Remote["Remote install"]
        Used["Plugin used"]
    end

    subgraph Construction["Metadata construction"]
        direction TB
        Loader["Loader telemetry helpers"]
        Summary["PluginCapabilitySummary::telemetry_metadata"]
        Override["Caller adds remote_plugin_id"]
    end

    Metadata["PluginTelemetryMetadata"]

    Lifecycle --> Loader
    Config --> Loader
    Remote --> Loader
    Loader -->|"local events"| Metadata
    Loader -->|"remote install"| Override
    Override --> Metadata
    Used --> Summary
    Summary --> Metadata
```

Telemetry metadata was constructed through loader helpers, a
capability-summary method, and a remote-install call-site override.

## After

```mermaid
flowchart LR
    subgraph Events["Analytics event paths"]
        direction TB
        Lifecycle["Local install / uninstall"]
        Config["Enable / disable"]
        Remote["Remote install"]
        Used["Plugin used"]
    end

    Manager["PluginsManager — single construction owner"]
    Metadata["PluginTelemetryMetadata"]

    Lifecycle --> Manager
    Config --> Manager
    Remote -->|"authoritative remote ID"| Manager
    Used -->|"capability summary"| Manager
    Manager --> Metadata
```

Every analytics path delegates metadata construction to
`PluginsManager`. Remote install still supplies its authoritative
backend ID explicitly.

## What Changes

- Make loader code return a focused plugin capability summary instead of
constructing analytics metadata.
- Centralize immutable plugin telemetry metadata construction in
`PluginsManager`.
- Route local install/uninstall, remote install, enable/disable, and
plugin-used emitters through the manager.
- Preserve the current serialized analytics contract exactly.

Normal metadata still has no remote override. Remote install continues
to provide its authoritative backend ID explicitly, so the existing
serializer continues reporting that ID through `plugin_id`.
Snapshot-based enrichment is intentionally deferred to the final PR.

## Testing

- `just test -p codex-core-plugins` (238 tests passed)
- `just test -p codex-plugin` (3 tests passed)
- Scoped Clippy/compile checks passed for `codex-plugin`,
`codex-core-plugins`, `codex-app-server`, and `codex-core`.

4. This metadata refactor, independent and based on `main`
5. [#27669 Persist remote plugin

6. Final remote-ID behavior PR, created after the prerequisites merge

The original [#26281](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/26281)

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

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
  • 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.

Using Codex with your ChatGPT plan

Run codex and select Sign in with ChatGPT. We recommend signing into your ChatGPT account to use Codex as part of your Plus, Pro, Business, Edu, or Enterprise plan. Learn more about what's included in your ChatGPT plan.

You can also use Codex with an API key, but this requires additional setup.
