Michael Bolin d62421d322 chore: document intentional await-holding cases (#18423)
## Why

This PR prepares the stack to enable Clippy await-holding lints that
were left disabled in #18178. The mechanical lock-scope cleanup is
handled separately; this PR is the documentation/configuration layer for
the remaining await-across-guard sites.

Without explicit annotations, reviewers and future maintainers cannot
tell whether an await-holding warning is a real concurrency smell or an
intentional serialization boundary.

## What changed

- Configures `clippy.toml` so `await_holding_invalid_type` also covers
`tokio::sync::{MutexGuard,RwLockReadGuard,RwLockWriteGuard}`.
- Adds targeted `#[expect(clippy::await_holding_invalid_type, reason =
...)]` annotations for intentional async guard lifetimes.
- Documents the main categories of intentional cases: active-turn state
transitions that must remain atomic, session-owned MCP manager accesses,
remote-control websocket serialization, JS REPL kernel/process
serialization, OAuth persistence, external bearer token refresh
serialization, and tests that intentionally serialize shared global or
session-owned state.
- For external bearer token refresh, documents the existing
serialization boundary: holding `cached_token` across the provider
command prevents concurrent cache misses from starting duplicate refresh
commands, and the current behavior is small enough that an explicit
expectation is easier to maintain than adding another synchronization
primitive.

## Verification

- `cargo clippy -p codex-login --all-targets`
- `cargo clippy -p codex-connectors --all-targets`
- `cargo clippy -p codex-core --all-targets`
- The follow-up PR #18698 enables `await_holding_invalid_type` and
`await_holding_lock` as workspace `deny` lints, so any undocumented
remaining offender will fail 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.

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.

Using Codex with your ChatGPT plan

Run codex and select Sign in with ChatGPT. We recommend signing into your ChatGPT account to use Codex as part of your Plus, Pro, Business, Edu, or Enterprise plan. Learn more about what's included in your ChatGPT plan.

You can also use Codex with an API key, but this requires additional setup.
