## Why Client-created response items enter history without IDs, so their identity is lost across rollout persistence and resume. IDs should be assigned once at the history-recording boundary, while IDs returned by the server must remain unchanged. The Responses API validates item IDs using type-specific prefixes. Locally generated IDs therefore use the matching prefix plus a hyphenated UUIDv7, keeping them valid while distinguishable from server-generated IDs. Because this changes persisted history and provider request shapes, the behavior is opt-in behind the under-development `item_ids` feature. Compaction triggers remain request controls whose API shape does not accept an ID. ## What changed - Register the disabled-by-default `item_ids` feature and expose it in `config.schema.json`. - Make supported optional `ResponseItem` IDs serializable and expose them in the generated app-server schemas. - When `item_ids` is enabled, assign an ID during conversation-history preparation if an item has no ID. - Generate type-prefixed, hyphenated UUIDv7 IDs using the Responses API item conventions. - Preserve existing server IDs without rewriting them. - Persist assigned IDs in rollouts and include them in subsequent Responses requests. - Remove the unsupported ID field from `CompactionTrigger` and document why it has no ID. - Add integration coverage for enabled ID persistence, preservation of server IDs, and omission of generated IDs while the feature is disabled. `prepare_conversation_items_for_history` is the single response-item ID allocation boundary. ## Test plan - `just test -p codex-features` - `just test -p codex-core response_item_ids_persist_across_resume_and_preserve_server_ids` - `just test -p codex-core non_openai_responses_requests_omit_item_turn_metadata` - `just test -p codex-core resize_all_images_prepares_failures_before_history_insertion` - `just test -p codex-protocol` - `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol` - `just test -p codex-api azure_default_store_attaches_ids_and_headers`
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.
