## Why On Windows, background terminals could stay visible after their shell process had already exited. The elevated runner waits for the PTY output reader to reach EOF before it sends the final exit message, but the ConPTY helper was reducing ownership down to raw handles too early. That left the pseudoconsole's borrowed pipe handles alive past teardown, so EOF never propagated and the session stayed `running`. ## What changed - change `utils/pty/src/win/conpty.rs` to hand off owned ConPTY resources instead of leaking only raw handles - make `windows-sandbox-rs/src/conpty/mod.rs` keep the pseudoconsole owner and the backing pipe handles together until teardown - update the elevated runner and the legacy unified-exec backend to keep that `ConptyInstance` alive, take only the specific pipe handles they need, and drop the owner at teardown instead of trying to close a detached pseudoconsole handle later ## Testing - desktop app in `Auto-review`: 11 x `cmd /c "ping -n 3 google.com"` all exited cleanly and did not accumulate in the UI - desktop app in `Auto-review`: 5 x `cmd /c "ping -n 30 google.com"` appeared in the UI and drained back out on their own
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.
