### Summary Release live thread persistence when a session ends because its submission channel closes. This prevents a later same-process resume from failing with `thread ... already has a live local writer`. ### Details The issue is in the `codex-core` session teardown path used by Codex hosts, rather than in Managed Agents API or exec-server itself. Explicit shutdown already closes the `LiveThread`, which releases the process-scoped writer held by `LocalThreadStore`. The submission-channel-close fallback ran runtime and extension teardown but skipped that persistence shutdown, leaving the thread ID registered as having a live writer. This change: - closes the `LiveThread` on the channel-close fallback path; - preserves the existing teardown order used by explicit shutdowns; - extends the lifecycle regression test to assert that the thread store receives `shutdown_thread`. Context: [original report](https://openai.slack.com/archives/C0B4NBHQGTV/p1782136364948039), [recent occurrence 1](https://openai.slack.com/archives/C0B4NBHQGTV/p1782434817895839?thread_ts=1782136364.948039&cid=C0B4NBHQGTV), [recent occurrence 2](https://openai.slack.com/archives/C0B4NBHQGTV/p1782335107474429?thread_ts=1782136364.948039&cid=C0B4NBHQGTV) ### Testing - `just test -p codex-core submission_loop_channel_close_runs_full_thread_teardown` - `just test -p codex-core --lib` (1,989 passed; 3 skipped) - `just fix -p codex-core` - `just fmt` - Native code review: no findings I also attempted `just test -p codex-core`. The new regression passed; 79 unrelated integration tests failed in the local harness, primarily because helper binaries such as `test_stdio_server` were unavailable, plus local proxy/shell timing failures.
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.
