## Why #29683 exposes managed defaults for new-thread model settings through `configRequirements/read` without applying them server-wide. The TUI is an app-server client, so it should explicitly consume those defaults when it creates a fresh thread. This lets plain `codex` start on the managed model while preserving the existing ability to change model settings within the thread. ## What changed - Read `requirements.models.newThread` during TUI app-server bootstrap. - Apply the managed model, reasoning effort, and service tier to the initial fresh thread and subsequent `/new` or `/clear` threads. - Keep explicit launch overrides above the managed defaults. - Normalize the managed `fast` service tier to the `priority` request value. - Leave resumed and forked threads unchanged. The application logic lives in a small TUI-only module; app-server `thread/start` behavior remains unchanged for other clients. ## User experience - Plain `codex` starts with the managed new-thread settings. - A user can still change settings with `/model` or the existing service-tier controls. - Starting another fresh thread reapplies the managed defaults. - Explicit launch choices such as `codex -m <model>` continue to win. ## Validation - `just test -p codex-tui managed_new_thread_defaults` - `just fix -p codex-tui` Depends on #29683.
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.
