## Stack This is PR 2 of the simplified HAI single-run-task stack: - [#19047](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/19047) Agent Identity assertion and task-registration primitives, including the shared run-task helper used by existing Agent Identity JWT auth. - [#19049](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/19049) Disabled-by-default ChatGPT auth opt-in that provisions/reuses persisted Agent Identity runtime auth and its single run task. - [#19051](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/19051) Run-scoped provider auth that uses one backend-owned task id for first-party inference and compaction requests. [#19054](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/19054) collapsed out of the active stack because the simplified design no longer needs a separate background/control-plane task helper. ## Summary This PR adds the disabled-by-default path for normal ChatGPT-login Codex sessions to obtain Agent Identity runtime auth through the Codex backend. Existing Agent Identity JWT startup mode remains a separate path and does not require the feature flag. What changed: - adds the experimental `use_agent_identity` feature flag and config schema entry - adds an explicit `AgentIdentityAuthPolicy` so call sites choose `JwtOnly` or `ChatGptAuth` instead of passing a bare boolean - stores standalone Agent Identity JWT credentials separately from backend-registered Agent Identity records - persists the registered Agent Identity record, private key, and single run task id in `auth.json` so process restarts reuse the same identity - derives the agent/task registration base URL from ChatGPT/Codex auth config while keeping JWT JWKS lookup separate - provisions and caches ChatGPT-derived Agent Identity runtime auth when `use_agent_identity` is enabled - reuses the shared run-task registration helper from PR1 rather than adding a second task-registration path This PR intentionally does not switch model inference over to `AgentAssertion` auth. The provider-auth integration lands in the next PR. ## Testing - `just test -p codex-login`
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.
Using Codex with your ChatGPT plan
