## Why Device-key storage and signing are local security-sensitive operations with platform-specific behavior. Keeping the core API in `codex-device-key` keeps app-server focused on routing and business logic instead of owning key-management details. The crate keeps the signing surface intentionally narrow: callers can create a bound key, fetch its public key, or sign one of the structured payloads accepted by the crate. It does not expose a generic arbitrary-byte signing API. Key IDs cross into platform-specific labels, tags, and metadata paths, so externally supplied IDs are constrained to the same auditable namespace created by the crate: `dk_` followed by unpadded base64url for 32 bytes. Remote-control target paths are also tied to each signed payload shape so connection proofs cannot be reused for enrollment endpoints, or vice versa. ## What changed - Added the `codex-device-key` workspace crate. - Added account/client-bound key creation with stable `dk_` key IDs. - Added strict `key_id` validation before public-key lookup or signing reaches a provider. - Added public-key lookup and structured signing APIs. - Split remote-control client endpoint allowlists by connection vs enrollment payload shape. - Added validation for key bindings, accepted payload fields, token expiration, and payload/key binding mismatches. - Added flow-oriented docs on the validation helpers that gate provider signing. - Added protection policy and protection-class types without wiring a platform provider yet. - Added an unsupported default provider so platforms without an implementation fail explicitly instead of silently falling back to software-backed keys. - Updated Cargo and Bazel lock metadata for the new crate and non-platform-specific dependencies. ## Stack This is stacked on #18428. ## Validation - `cargo test -p codex-device-key` - Added unit coverage for strict `key_id` validation before provider use. - Added unit coverage that rejects remote-control paths from the wrong signed payload shape. - `just bazel-lock-update` - `just bazel-lock-check`
npm i -g @openai/codex
or brew install --cask codex
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
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
- 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.
