Felipe Coury 713192381b fix(tui): Windows composer background (#26181)
## Why

On Windows, the TUI could not shade the composer against the terminal
background because `terminal_palette::default_colors()` always fell back
to `None`. That preserved safety, but it also meant terminals that do
support OSC 10/11 default color replies had no path to report their real
background color.

This keeps the existing fallback behavior for unsupported terminals
while allowing capable Windows terminals to report their default
foreground/background colors during startup.

## What Changed

- Moved the OSC 10/11 default color parser in
`tui/src/terminal_probe.rs` out of the Unix-only implementation so it
can be reused by Windows.
- Added a Windows-only bounded OSC 10/11 probe using raw console handles
and the existing `windows-sys` dependency.
- Added Windows palette caching in `tui/src/terminal_palette.rs` so
startup probe results, including `None`, are reused instead of probing
again later.
- Wired the Windows color probe into TUI startup after the existing
non-Unix crossterm cursor and keyboard checks.
- Added parser coverage for malformed, partial, and noisy OSC color
replies.

If the probe fails, times out, receives only one color, or receives
malformed data, the cache stores `None` and the composer keeps the
current behavior.

## How to Test

1. On Windows, start Codex in a terminal that supports OSC 10/11 default
color replies.
2. Open the TUI composer.
3. Confirm the composer/status area is painted using the terminal's
reported default background, instead of leaving the background unshaded.
4. Start Codex in a terminal that does not answer OSC 10/11, or
otherwise blocks terminal color replies.
5. Confirm startup still succeeds and the composer uses the existing
fallback behavior.

Targeted tests:

- `CARGO_TARGET_DIR=/private/tmp/codex-windows-osc-default-colors-target
just test -p codex-tui terminal_probe`

Additional local verification:

- `CARGO_TARGET_DIR=/private/tmp/codex-windows-osc-default-colors-target
just test -p codex-tui` was run; 2774 tests passed, and two unrelated
Guardian feature-flag tests failed reproducibly when isolated.
- `just argument-comment-lint` was attempted but blocked by the local
Bazel/LLVM `include/sanitizer/*.h` empty glob issue. Touched Rust
literal callsites were inspected manually.
- `cargo check -p codex-tui --target x86_64-pc-windows-msvc` was
attempted after installing the target, but local macOS cross-checking is
blocked by missing Windows C SDK headers in native dependencies
(`ring`/`aws-lc-sys`).

Codex CLI is a coding agent from OpenAI that runs locally on your computer.

Codex CLI splash


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
  • Linux
    • x86_64: codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz
    • arm64: codex-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz

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.

Using Codex with your ChatGPT plan
