## Why Some extension hosts need generated images returned without writing them to the local filesystem or giving the model a local path. ## What changed **tl;dr**: we now conduct all extension operations in the image gen extension - Let hosts provide an optional image save root when installing the extension. - Save images and return path hints only when a save root is configured. - Return image data without saving or adding a path hint when no save root is configured. - Preserve the extension-provided `saved_path` instead of persisting extension images again in core. - Leave built-in image generation unchanged. ## Validation - `just test -p codex-image-generation-extension` - `just test -p codex-app-server standalone_image_generation_returns_saved_path_hint_to_model` - `just test -p codex-core extension_tool_uses_granted_turn_permissions_without_local_persistence` - `just test -p codex-core tools::handlers::extension_tools::tests` - tested on CODEX CLI on both save_root: CODEX_HOME and None - tested on CODEX APP on both as well
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.
