## Why The TUI treats both an active turn and MCP startup as a running task. That currently blocks `/resume` and several settings commands even though they do not compete with turn execution, which is especially frustrating when MCP startup is slow. Model, permissions, personality, and service-tier selections already update thread settings independently of the running turn. Other clients can send those updates mid-turn, while the current turn continues with its captured settings. Allowing the same updates from local slash commands makes the TUI consistent with that existing behavior. ## What changed - Allow `/resume` while a task is running. - Allow `/model`, `/permissions`, `/personality`, and service-tier commands such as `/fast` while a task is running. - Keep the existing behavior where the active turn uses its captured settings and updates apply to subsequent turns. - Exercise the commands under the busy state in the existing TUI tests and retain coverage for commands that should remain blocked. ## Behavior note Turn settings such as model selection and reasoning effort are captured when a turn starts. Changing them during an active turn affects the next turn, not the turn already in progress. The status bar updates immediately, so it may temporarily display the newly selected setting before that setting is actually in effect. ## Verification - Focused `codex-tui` tests for resume dispatch, settings popups, `/fast`, and disabled-command behavior. ## Related issues Closes #19015. Addresses the next-turn-safe model/reasoning switching portion of #14356; dedicated shortcuts and the proposed depth meter remain out of scope.
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.
