Michael Bolin 9f0be146db cloud-tasks: split the mock client out of cloud-tasks-client (#16456)
## Why

`codex-cloud-tasks-client` was mixing two different roles: the real HTTP
client and the mock implementation used by tests and local mock mode.
Keeping both in the same crate forced Cargo feature toggles and Bazel
`crate_features` just to pick an implementation.

This change keeps `codex-cloud-tasks-client` focused on the shared API
surface and real backend client, and moves the mock implementation into
its own crate so we can remove those feature permutations cleanly.

## What changed

- add a new `codex-cloud-tasks-mock-client` crate that owns `MockClient`
- remove the `mock` and `online` features from
`codex-cloud-tasks-client`
- make `codex-cloud-tasks-client` unconditionally depend on
`codex-backend-client` and export `HttpClient` directly
- gate the mock-mode path in `codex-cloud-tasks` behind
`#[cfg(debug_assertions)]`, so release builds always initialize the real
HTTP client
- update `codex-cloud-tasks` and its tests to use
`codex-cloud-tasks-mock-client::MockClient` wherever mock behavior is
needed
- remove the matching Bazel `crate_features` override and shrink the
manifest verifier allowlist accordingly

## How tested

- `cargo test -p codex-cloud-tasks-client`
- `cargo test -p codex-cloud-tasks-mock-client`
- `cargo test -p codex-cloud-tasks`

npm i -g @openai/codex
or brew install --cask codex

Codex CLI is a coding agent from OpenAI that runs locally on your computer.

Codex CLI splash


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
  • Linux
    • x86_64: codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz
    • arm64: codex-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz

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.
