## Why If a user configures `approval_policy = "never"` with `sandbox_mode = "danger-full-access"`, managed requirements can reject full access and force the existing permission fallback to read-only. That leaves Codex in a dead-end session: writes are blocked by the sandbox, while approvals are disabled so the session cannot ask to proceed. This PR rejects that constrained configuration during startup instead of letting the TUI enter a read-only session that cannot make progress. The rejection is attached to the requirement-constrained permission path in [`Config`](https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/39f0abc0a7c0ed0e348a6843e9f0c7b76e2400bc/codex-rs/core/src/config/mod.rs#L3301-L3318). ## What changed - Reject the `danger-full-access` to read-only managed-requirements fallback when the effective approval policy is `never`. - Explain in the startup config error why the fallback is invalid and how to fix it. - Add a regression test for the managed requirements path.
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.
