xli-oai def6467d2b [codex] Describe uninstalled cross-repo plugin reads (#18449)
## Summary
- Populate `PluginDetail.description` in core for uninstalled cross-repo
plugins when detailed fields are unavailable until install.
- Include the source Git URL plus optional path/ref/sha details in that
fallback description.
- Keep `details_unavailable_reason` as the structured signal while
app-server forwards the description normally.
- Add plugin-read coverage proving the response does not clone the
remote source just to show the message.

## Why
Uninstalled cross-repo plugins intentionally return sparse detail data
so listing/reading does not clone the plugin source. Without a
description, Desktop and TUI detail pages look like an ordinary empty
plugin. This gives users a concrete explanation and source pointer while
keeping the existing structured reason available for callers.

## Validation
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-core
read_plugin_for_config_uninstalled_git_source_requires_install_without_cloning`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server plugin_read --test all`
- `just fix -p codex-core`
- `just fix -p codex-app-server`

Note: `cargo test -p codex-app-server` was also attempted before the
latest refactor and failed broadly in unrelated v2
thread/realtime/review/skills suites; the new plugin-read test passed in
that run as well.

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.
