## Summary - add the `code_mode_host` feature flag and select `ProcessOwnedCodeModeSessionProvider` in `CodeModeService` when enabled - initialize code-mode sessions lazily so a missing host reports a tool error without failing thread startup - resolve `codex-code-mode-host` beside the running Codex binary by default while preserving `CODEX_CODE_MODE_HOST_PATH` as an override - add unit and end-to-end coverage for host resolution and graceful missing-host behavior ## Why This wires the process-owned session client from #30112 into the core service behind an opt-in rollout gate. Packaged Codex installations can place the helper in the same `bin` directory as the main executable without relying on `PATH`, while development and custom installations can continue to override the helper path. ## Stack - Depends on #30112 - Base branch: `cconger/process-owned-session-runtime-4-client` ## Validation Build `codex` and `codex-code-mode-host` `CODEX_CODE_MODE_HOST_PATH="$PWD/target/debug/codex-code-mode-host" ./target/debug/codex --enable code_mode_host`
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.
