## Background Bare URLs containing `~` in their path are currently only clickable up to the tilde in the interactive TUI. For example, Codex renders the visible text for: `https://www.cs.tufts.edu/~nr/cs257/archive/olin-shivers/dissertation.pdf` but the OSC 8 destination stops at `https://www.cs.tufts.edu/`. This makes Cmd-click open the wrong location even though the terminal recognizes the complete URL outside Codex. Fixes #26774. ## Root Cause The URL scanner already accepts `~`. The truncation happens earlier: with strikethrough parsing enabled, `pulldown-cmark` splits this URL into adjacent decoded `Event::Text` values around the tilde. The Markdown renderer annotated each text event independently, so only the first event still looked like a complete URL with a supported scheme. The renderer now merges adjacent decoded text events before URL annotation. It preserves the combined source range while retaining parser-decoded contents, which avoids regressing entities such as `&`. ## Changes - Add a small iterator that merges adjacent decoded Markdown text events and their source ranges. - Apply it at the Markdown renderer boundary before hyperlink detection. - Add regression coverage for the reported URL in prose, wrapped table output, and entity-decoded URLs. ## How to Test 1. Run Codex with `just c`. 2. Ask the assistant to output this exact bare URL with no Markdown link syntax: `https://www.cs.tufts.edu/~nr/cs257/archive/olin-shivers/dissertation.pdf` 3. Hold Cmd and hover or click the URL. 4. Confirm the complete URL, including the suffix after `~`, is one destination. 5. Repeat with the URL inside a Markdown table and confirm wrapped portions retain the same complete destination. Targeted tests: - `just test -p codex-tui url_with_tilde` - `just test -p codex-tui merged_text_events_preserve_entity_decoding` The full `codex-tui` test run was also executed. Its only failures were the two existing Guardian feature-flag tests: - `app::tests::update_feature_flags_disabling_guardian_clears_review_policy_and_restores_default` - `app::tests::update_feature_flags_disabling_guardian_clears_manual_review_policy_without_history`
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.
