This PR partially rebase `unified_exec` on the `exec-server` and adapt the `exec-server` accordingly. ## What changed in `exec-server` 1. Replaced the old "broadcast-driven; process-global" event model with process-scoped session events. The goal is to be able to have dedicated handler for each process. 2. Add to protocol contract to support explicit lifecycle status and stream ordering: - `WriteResponse` now returns `WriteStatus` (Accepted, UnknownProcess, StdinClosed, Starting) instead of a bool. - Added seq fields to output/exited notifications. - Added terminal process/closed notification. 3. Demultiplexed remote notifications into per-process channels. Same as for the event sys 4. Local and remote backends now both implement ExecBackend. 5. Local backend wraps internal process ID/operations into per-process ExecProcess objects. 6. Remote backend registers a session channel before launch and unregisters on failed launch. ## What changed in `unified_exec` 1. Added unified process-state model and backend-neutral process wrapper. This will probably disappear in the future, but it makes it easier to keep the work flowing on both side. - `UnifiedExecProcess` now handles both local PTY sessions and remote exec-server processes through a shared `ProcessHandle`. - Added `ProcessState` to track has_exited, exit_code, and terminal failure message consistently across backends. 2. Routed write and lifecycle handling through process-level methods. ## Some rationals 1. The change centralizes execution transport in exec-server while preserving policy and orchestration ownership in core, avoiding duplicated launch approval logic. This comes from internal discussion. 2. Session-scoped events remove coupling/cross-talk between processes and make stream ordering and terminal state explicit (seq, closed, failed). 3. The failure-path surfacing (remote launch failures, write failures, transport disconnects) makes command tool output and cleanup behavior deterministic ## Follow-ups: * Unify the concept of thread ID behind an obfuscated struct * FD handling * Full zsh-fork compatibility * Full network sandboxing compatibility * Handle ws disconnection
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.
