## Why Desktop Work threads and regular Codex threads can share the same app-server connection. App-server analytics currently copy `product_client_id` from connection metadata for every thread-scoped event, so Work thread activity is attributed to the Desktop connection instead of the thread's resolved originator. This prevents analytics from distinguishing the two products on a shared connection. ## What changed - Publish the resolved originator after a thread is materialized, covering new, resumed, forked, and subagent threads. - Store that originator in the analytics reducer's existing per-thread state. - Override only `app_server_client.product_client_id` for thread, turn, tool, review, goal, guardian, and compaction events while preserving the connection's client name, version, and transport metadata. - Fall back to the connection-wide product client ID when a thread has no originator override. - Preserve persisted originators in thread initialization analytics for resume and fork flows. ## Validation - `just test -p codex-analytics thread_originator_overrides_shared_connection_across_thread_events subagent_events_keep_thread_originator_with_explicit_turn_connection` - `just test -p codex-app-server turn_start_tracks_thread_originator_in_analytics thread_start_tracks_thread_initialized_analytics thread_fork_tracks_thread_initialized_analytics thread_resume_tracks_thread_initialized_analytics` - `just test -p codex-core thread_manager`
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.
