Eric Traut a50cb205b7 Stabilize plugin MCP tools test (#19191)
## Summary

The plugin MCP tool-listing test could hide MCP startup failures by
polling `ListMcpTools` until its own 30s deadline. If the plugin MCP
server startup had already failed or timed out, the session-owned MCP
manager would keep returning an empty tool list, so CI only reported
`discovered tools: []` instead of the startup state that mattered.

This makes the test synchronize on `McpStartupComplete` for the sample
plugin MCP server before asserting listed tools, and gives the
Bazel-launched test server a larger startup window.

## Notes

Confidence is about 80%. The source path strongly supports the RCA: a
failed MCP startup is represented as an empty tool list through
`ListMcpTools`, so the old polling contract could not distinguish "not
ready yet" from "startup already failed." I could not retrieve the CI
execution-log artifact to confirm the exact hidden startup error, but
the observed Ubuntu Bazel failure matches this path: repeated
`ListMcpTools` responses with no tools until the test-local timeout
fired.

I think this is the right solution because it keeps plugin behavior
unchanged and fixes only the test contract. Future startup failures
should now report the `McpStartupComplete` failure/cancellation instead
of timing out on an empty tool snapshot.

This test was introduced in https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/12864.

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.
