Max Johnson e2398d0b16 [app-server] expose environment info RPC (#30291)
## Why

App-server clients that configure named execution environments need to
discover an environment's shell and working directory before selecting
it for a thread or turn. Because the environment can run on a different
operating system than app-server, its working directory is represented
as a canonical `file:` URI rather than a host-local path string. The
probe also needs a bounded response time: an exec-server that completes
initialization but never answers `environment/info` must not hold the
environment serialization queue indefinitely.

## What changed

- Add an experimental `environment/info` app-server RPC for named
environments.
- Route the probe through the managed environment connection and return
target-native shell metadata plus the default working directory as a
`PathUri`.
- Return connection and protocol failures as JSON-RPC errors.
- Bound the exec-server probe response to 30 seconds and remove
timed-out calls from the pending-request table so later environment
mutations can proceed.
- Cover successful responses, omitted working directories, unknown
environments, connection failures, and pending-call cleanup.

## Protocol examples

Request:

```json
{
  "id": 42,
  "method": "environment/info",
  "params": {
    "environmentId": "remote-a"
  }
}
```

Successful response:

```json
{
  "id": 42,
  "result": {
    "shell": {
      "name": "zsh",
      "path": "/bin/zsh"
    },
    "cwd": "file:///workspace"
  }
}
```

If the exec-server initializes but does not answer the probe within 30
seconds:

```json
{
  "id": 42,
  "error": {
    "code": -32603,
    "message": "failed to get info for environment `remote-a`: exec-server protocol error: timed out waiting for exec-server `environment/info` response after 30s"
  }
}
```

## Testing

- App-server integration coverage for successful info (including omitted
`cwd`), unknown environments, and connection failures.
- Exec-server RPC coverage verifying a timed-out call is removed from
the pending-request table.

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

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
  • 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.
