## Why The patched zsh artifacts rarely change, but `.github/workflows/rust-release-zsh.yml` currently runs as part of every Rust release. Rebuilding the same four binaries for each Codex version wastes release capacity and ties an independently versioned runtime dependency to the main release cadence. This establishes the producer side of a build-once flow. The existing Rust release workflow remains unchanged until the first standalone artifact release has been published and the checked-in DotSlash manifests can be updated with its URLs and checksums. ## What changed - Run the zsh release workflow for protected `codex-zsh-vX.Y.Z` tags instead of as a reusable workflow. - Validate the semantic release tag before starting the platform builds. - Publish the four zsh archives to a GitHub prerelease so the release never becomes the repository latest release. - Publish the generated `codex-zsh` DotSlash manifest alongside the archives. - Document how to publish the next artifact version after changing the pinned zsh commit or patch. ## Tag protection An active repository tag ruleset named `codex-zsh-v*.*.*` targets `refs/tags/codex-zsh-v*.*.*`. It restricts tag creation, updates, deletion, and non-fast-forward changes; requires linear history; and limits bypass to the configured repository role. This was verified with: ```shell gh api repos/openai/codex/rulesets/18140982 ``` The response reported `"enforcement":"active"`, the expected tag condition, and the `creation`, `update`, `deletion`, `non_fast_forward`, and `required_linear_history` rules. ## Rollout After this lands, publish the first `codex-zsh-vX.Y.Z` release. A follow-up can then update the checked-in DotSlash manifests and remove the zsh rebuild from `.github/workflows/rust-release.yml`. --- [//]: # (BEGIN SAPLING FOOTER) Stack created with [Sapling](https://sapling-scm.com).

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.
