jameswt-oai e512e884ed [codex-analytics] Analytics Capture to File in Debug Builds (#27093)
## This PR

The original [combined remote plugin analytics PR
#26281](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/26281) mixed reusable
analytics test infrastructure, two manual smoke workflows, a metadata
refactor, and the final identity behavior. This PR isolates the generic
capture mechanism so it can be reviewed and landed before any
plugin-specific behavior.

- Add a debug-only analytics destination that writes final request
payloads as JSONL.
- Suppress HTTP delivery whenever capture mode is selected, including
after capture write failures.
- Keep release behavior unchanged even when the capture environment
variable is present.
- Keep the mechanism generic; this PR contains no plugin-specific
behavior.

Set `CODEX_ANALYTICS_EVENTS_CAPTURE_FILE=/path/events.jsonl` when
running a debug Codex binary to inspect the exact batched payload that
would otherwise be sent to the analytics endpoint.

## Testing

- `just test -p codex-analytics` (76 passed)
- `just test --release -p codex-analytics` (73 passed)
- CI is green across the required platform matrix.

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.
