## Why Windows Bazel runs in the permissions stack exposed that app-server integration tests were launching normal plugin startup warmups in every subprocess. Those warmups can call `https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/plugins/featured` when a test is not specifically exercising plugin startup, which adds slow background work, noisy stderr, and dependence on external network state. The relevant startup/featured-plugin behavior was introduced across #15042 and #15264. A few app-server tests also had long optional waits or unbounded cleanup paths, making failures expensive to diagnose and contributing to slow Windows shards. One external-agent config test from #18246 used a GitHub-style marketplace source, which was enough to exercise the pending remote-import path but also meant the background completion task could attempt a real clone. ## What Changed - Adds explicit `AppServerRuntimeOptions` / `PluginStartupTasks` plumbing and a hidden debug-only `--disable-plugin-startup-tasks-for-tests` app-server flag, so integration tests can suppress startup plugin warmups without adding a production env-var gate. - Has the app-server test harness pass that hidden flag by default, while opting plugin-startup coverage back in for tests that intentionally exercise startup sync and featured-plugin warmup behavior. - Lowers normal app-server subprocess logging from `info`/`debug` to `warn` to avoid multi-megabyte stderr output in Bazel logs. - Prevents the external-agent config test from attempting a real marketplace clone by using an invalid non-local source while still exercising the pending-import completion path. - Bounds optional filesystem/realtime waits and fake WebSocket test-server shutdown so failures produce targeted timeouts instead of hanging a shard. - Fixes the Unix script-resolution test in `rmcp-client` to exercise PATH resolution directly and include the actual spawn error in failures. ## Verification - `cargo check -p codex-app-server` - `cargo clippy -p codex-app-server --tests -- -D warnings` - `cargo test -p codex-rmcp-client program_resolver::tests::test_unix_executes_script_without_extension` - `cargo test -p codex-app-server --test all external_agent_config_import_sends_completion_notification_after_pending_plugins_finish -- --nocapture` - `cargo test -p codex-app-server --test all plugin_list_uses_warmed_featured_plugin_ids_cache_on_first_request -- --nocapture` - Windows Local Bazel passed with this test-hardening bundle before it was extracted from #19606. --- [//]: # (BEGIN SAPLING FOOTER) Stack created with [Sapling](https://sapling-scm.com).

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.
