## Summary - implement the standalone `codex-code-mode-host` stdio service - route sessions, cells, delegate requests, responses, and cancellation through a bounded host peer - supervise request, writer, cell-forwarding, actor, and V8 failure boundaries - bound request/session tombstones and fail-stop the connection on invalid protocol state - add host-only duplex protocol tests and local Cargo/Bazel run recipes ## Why This stage makes the host process independently runnable and reviewable before exposing any remote client in Codex. Transport or runtime failure closes the connection and relies on process replacement rather than transactional recovery. ## Stack This is **3 of 4** in the process-owned code-mode session stack. - Depends on #30110 - The final client PR targets this branch ## Validation - `just test -p codex-code-mode-host` — 7 host-only tests passed - `just fix -p codex-code-mode-host` - `just bazel-lock-update` - `just bazel-lock-check` - `just fmt`
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.
