## Why Rollout traces need an identifier that can be used to correlate a Codex inference with upstream Responses API, proxy, and engine logs. The reduced trace model already exposed `upstream_request_id`, but it was being populated from the Responses API `response.id`. That value is useful for `previous_response_id` chaining, but it is not the transport request id that upstream systems key on. This PR separates those concepts so trace consumers can reliably answer both questions: - which Responses API response did this inference produce? - which upstream request handled it? ## Structure The change keeps the upstream request id at the same lifecycle level as the provider stream: - `codex-api` captures the `x-request-id` HTTP response header when the SSE stream is created and exposes it on `ResponseStream`. Fixture and websocket streams set the field to `None` because they do not have that HTTP response header. - `codex-core` carries that stream-level id into `InferenceTraceAttempt` when recording terminal stream outcomes. Completed, failed, cancelled, dropped-stream, and pre-response error paths all record the id when it is available. - `rollout-trace` now records both identifiers in raw terminal inference events and response payloads: `response_id` for the Responses API `response.id`, and `upstream_request_id` for `x-request-id`. - The reducer stores both fields on `InferenceCall`. It also uses `response_id` for `previous_response_id` conversation linking, which removes the old accidental dependency on the misnamed `upstream_request_id` field. - Terminal inference reduction now consumes the full terminal payload (`InferenceCompleted`, `InferenceFailed`, or `InferenceCancelled`) in one place. That keeps status, partial payloads, response ids, and upstream request ids consistent across success, failure, cancellation, and late stream-mapper events. ## Why This Shape `x-request-id` is a property of the HTTP/provider response envelope, not an SSE event. Capturing it once in `codex-api` and plumbing it through terminal trace recording avoids trying to infer the value from stream contents, and it preserves the id even when the stream fails or is cancelled after only partial output. Keeping `response_id` separate from `upstream_request_id` also makes the reduced trace model less surprising: `response_id` remains the conversation-continuation id, while `upstream_request_id` is the operational correlation id for upstream debugging. ## Validation The PR updates trace and reducer coverage for: - reading `x-request-id` from SSE response headers; - storing the true upstream request id on completed inference calls; - preserving upstream request ids for cancelled and late-cancelled inference streams; - keeping `previous_response_id` reconstruction tied to `response_id` rather than transport request ids.
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.
