This updates the on-request permissions instructions so likely sandbox-related network failures during dependency installation are treated as escalation candidates. Repro: - Run `codex -a on-request -s workspace-write` in a fresh temp dir. - Prompt: `Build a new rust app with one dependency, anyhow, and try installing the dependency`. - Before this change, DNS/registry failures like `Could not resolve host: index.crates.io` could be treated like ordinary transient failures and not escalate. Fix: - Clarify that likely sandbox-related network errors such as DNS/host resolution, registry/index access, and dependency download failures should trigger escalation. Validation: - Rebuild the CLI and rerun the same repro. The same instructions should now be more likely to trigger escalation instead of silently stopping.

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.
