## Why When Codex starts with a custom CA override such as `SSL_CERT_FILE=/path/to/corp-ca.pem codex`, `rustls-native-certs` treats that override as a replacement for the platform trust store. The managed proxy then rewrites child CA variables to its generated bundle, so the custom root or the ordinary platform roots can be lost. The proxy's upstream TLS connector must trust the same roots or private and corporate upstream certificates still fail after interception. ## What - load platform-native roots without consulting inherited CA override variables - append certificates from the existing curated startup CA file variables and `SSL_CERT_DIR` - share those platform and startup roots with the MITM upstream rustls connector - exclude the Codex managed MITM CA from upstream trust - normalize OpenSSL `TRUSTED CERTIFICATE` blocks while dropping trailing trust metadata - skip an inherited current Codex-managed bundle so nested launches do not duplicate it - append the Codex managed MITM CA to the child-facing bundle - copy certificate material only, so a private key or unrelated text colocated in a startup file is never exposed through the public bundle This is intentionally limited to CA paths present when Codex starts. It does not parse inline shell assignments or add per-command bundle materialization. This changes only `codex-network-proxy` and dependency metadata; it does not touch `codex-core` or sandbox orchestration. ## Validation - `just test -p codex-network-proxy` - includes an end-to-end upstream TLS test using a server trusted only by the startup custom CA - `just fix -p codex-network-proxy` - `just bazel-lock-check`
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.
