Implements #18162 This updates the TUI terminal title to show an explicit action-required state when Codex is blocked on user approval or input. The terminal title now uses the activity title item to cover both active work and blocked-on-user states, while still accepting the legacy spinner config value. Changes - Rename the terminal title item from `spinner` to `activity` while preserving legacy config compatibility - Show `[ ! ] Action Required `while approval or input overlays are active, with a blinking `[ . ]` alternate state - Suppress the normal working spinner while Codex is blocked on user action - Add targeted coverage for action-required title behavior and legacy title-item parsing Testing - Trigger an approval or input modal and confirm the tab title alternates between `[ ! ] Action Required` and `[ . ] Action Required` - Disable the activity title item and confirm the action-required title does not appear - Resolve the prompt and confirm the title returns to the normal spinning/idel state https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/e9ecc530-a6be-4fd7-b9a6-d550a790eb2c

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
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
- 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.
