This PR establishes the intended behavior as an executable contract before a refactor of the cell runtime begins. It also fixes cases where a second observer or termination request could replace an existing response channel and leave the original caller unresolved. ### Behavior codified - A cell can yield output and subsequently resume to completion. - A caller can run a cell until it has no immediately runnable work, receive its accumulated output and outstanding tool-call IDs, and then resume the same cell when the awaited work is available. - Each cell admits one active observer: - a second observer receives an explicit busy error - the existing observer remains registered and is not displaced - A natural result (conclusion of the js module) that has already reached the cell controller wins over a later termination request. - Otherwise, termination preempts execution and resolves both: - the active observer, if present - the caller requesting termination - Repeated termination requests are rejected while termination is already in progress. - Terminal responses are sent only after outstanding callback work has been handled: - natural completion drains notifications and cancels outstanding tool calls - termination cancels and drains both notification and tool callbacks. - Cell removal and cell_closed notification happen after callback cleanup
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
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
- 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.
