Won Park ecb41fcb64 Add feature-gated standalone image generation extension (#24723)
## Why

Add a standalone image generation path that can be exercised
independently of hosted Responses image generation, while retaining the
hosted tool as fallback unless the extension is actually available to
the model.

## What changed

- Added the `codex-image-generation-extension` crate with standalone
generate/edit execution, prior-image selection for edits, model-visible
image output, and local generated-image persistence.
- Installed the extension in app-server behind the disabled-by-default
`imagegenext` feature and backend eligibility checks.
- Updated core tool planning so eligible `image_gen.imagegen` exposure
replaces hosted `image_generation`, while unavailable configurations
retain hosted fallback.
- Added coverage for extension behavior, edit history reuse, feature
gating, auth eligibility, and hosted-tool replacement.
- The extension is installed through app-server only in this PR; other
execution paths retain hosted image generation because hosted
replacement occurs only when the standalone executor is actually
registered and model-visible.
- The initial extension contract intentionally fixes the image model to
`gpt-image-2` and uses automatic image parameters.
- Native generated-image history/card parity and rollout persistence
cleanup are intentionally deferred follow-up work.

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.
