## Summary During assistant-message streaming, blank markdown lines in the transient active tail were prefixed with two spaces. Ratatui measured those whitespace-only lines as two viewport rows, so list- and table-heavy answers showed doubled vertical gaps while streaming and then visibly compacted when finalized into scrollback. - keep whitespace-only `StreamingAgentTailCell` lines structurally empty while preserving nonblank message prefixes - clear impossible hyperlink metadata when normalizing a blank tail line - add an inline snapshot and height regression proving one blank markdown line occupies one viewport row Related to #26618, but fixes a separate live-tail row-height issue rather than stale committed markdown content. ## How to Test Recommended before/after reproduction: 1. Start the latest Codex build without this change. 2. Submit this exact prompt: > Send 20 different lists: bullets vs numbered, simple vs complex with paragraphs in between items, etc. Intertwine them with some tables and some paragraphs. 3. While the answer streams, observe duplicated vertical gaps around list items and paragraphs. When the answer finishes, observe the spacing compact. 4. Start this branch with `just c` and submit the same prompt. 5. Confirm each intended blank markdown line occupies one terminal row throughout streaming and that the spacing does not compact or jump when the answer finishes. 6. As a focused regression, verify the sections after the first table, especially loose lists with paragraphs between items; those blank rows should remain stable throughout streaming. Targeted tests: - `just test -p codex-tui streaming_agent_tail_blank_line_uses_one_viewport_row` - `just test -p codex-tui history_cell::tests` ## Test Notes - Verified the exact prompt above in a real tmux TUI using latest Codex and this branch as the before/after comparison. - The full `just test -p codex-tui` run completed 2,782 of 2,784 tests successfully. Two unrelated guardian feature-flag tests fail reproducibly in isolation because the expected `OverrideTurnContext` message is absent. - `just argument-comment-lint` is blocked locally by the existing Bazel `compiler-rt` missing-header glob error; the touched Rust diff was inspected manually for opaque positional literals.
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.
