Michael Bolin ddde50c611 arg0: keep dispatch aliases alive during async main (#18999)
## Why

The Ubuntu GNU remote Cargo run has been regularly failing sandboxed
`suite::remote_env` filesystem tests with `No such file or directory`,
while the same cases pass under Bazel. The Cargo remote-env setup starts
`target/debug/codex exec-server` inside Docker via
`scripts/test-remote-env.sh`. That CLI builds `codex-linux-sandbox` and
other arg0 helper aliases in a temporary directory, then passes those
alias paths into the exec-server runtime.

`arg0_dispatch_or_else` constructed `Arg0DispatchPaths` from that
temporary alias guard, but then awaited the async CLI entry point
without otherwise keeping the guard live. That allowed the guard to be
dropped while the exec-server was still running, removing the helper
alias directory. Later sandboxed filesystem calls tried to spawn the
now-deleted `codex-linux-sandbox` path and surfaced as `ENOENT`.

The relevant distinction I found is that `core/tests/common` stores the
result of `arg0_dispatch()` in a process-lifetime
`OnceLock<Option<Arg0PathEntryGuard>>` for test binaries. The Cargo
remote-env setup exercises a real `codex exec-server` process instead,
so it depends on the normal CLI lifetime behavior fixed here.

## What Changed

- Keep the arg0 tempdir guard alive until `main_fn(paths).await`
completes.
- Keep the helper on the real `arg0_dispatch()` shape, where alias setup
can fail and return `None` in production.
- Add a regression test that uses an explicit guard, yields once, and
verifies the generated helper alias path still exists while the async
entry point is running.

## Verification

- `cargo test -p codex-arg0`
- `just argument-comment-lint -p codex-arg0`
- `just fix -p codex-arg0`

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.
