This is the first mechanical cleanup in a stack whose higher-level goal is to enable Clippy coverage for async guards held across `.await` points. The follow-up commits enable Clippy's [`await_holding_lock`](https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#await_holding_lock) lint and the configurable [`await_holding_invalid_type`](https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#await_holding_invalid_type) lint for Tokio guard types. This PR handles the cases where the underlying issue is not protected shared mutable state, but a `tokio::sync::mpsc::UnboundedReceiver` wrapped in `Arc<Mutex<_>>` so cloned owners can call `recv().await`. Using a mutex for that shape forces the receiver lock guard to live across `.await`. Switching these paths to `async-channel` gives us cloneable `Receiver`s, so each owner can hold a receiver handle directly and await messages without an async mutex guard. ## What changed - In `codex-rs/code-mode`, replace the turn-message `mpsc::UnboundedSender`/`UnboundedReceiver` plus `Arc<Mutex<Receiver>>` with `async_channel::Sender`/`Receiver`. - In `codex-rs/codex-api`, replace the realtime websocket event receiver with an `async_channel::Receiver`, allowing `RealtimeWebsocketEvents` clones to receive without locking. - Add `async-channel` as a dependency for `codex-code-mode` and `codex-api`, and update `Cargo.lock`. ## Verification - The split stack was verified at the final lint-enabling head with `just clippy`.
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.
