## This PR The original [combined remote plugin analytics PR #26281](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/26281) mixed reusable analytics test infrastructure, two manual smoke workflows, a metadata refactor, and the final identity behavior. This PR adds the account-mutating validation workflow separately so its cleanup and recovery guarantees can be reviewed without the final analytics behavior change. - Add a manually invoked remote plugin install/uninstall smoke workflow. - Require explicit account-mutation confirmation and an initially uninstalled plugin. - Validate the current `codex_plugin_installed` contract, where `plugin_id` is the backend ID. - Restore and verify the original uninstalled state, with a dedicated recovery command. This baseline intentionally does not require `codex_plugin_uninstalled`, because production does not emit that event yet. The final PR will update this smoke to require local `plugin_id`, `remote_plugin_id`, and uninstall emission. Review this PR as the net diff against #27099. ## Testing - `just test -p codex-app-server-test-client` (3 focused capture/validation tests passed) - The live workflow was previously exercised on the green combined reference branch, and the original uninstalled account state was restored. - CI is green across the required platform matrix. ## Split Overview ```text main ├── #27093 Debug analytics capture │ └── #27099 Non-mutating plugin smoke │ └── #27100 Remote install/uninstall smoke ← you are here └── #27102 Plugin telemetry metadata refactor After #27093, #27099, #27100, and #27102 merge: └── Final PR: add remote_plugin_id to plugin analytics ``` Review order and dependencies: 1.

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.
