## Summary Wires rollout trace recording into `codex-core` session and turn execution. This records the core model request/response, compaction, and session lifecycle boundaries needed for replay without yet tracing every nested runtime/tool boundary. ## Stack This is PR 2/5 in the rollout trace stack. - [#18876](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18876): Add rollout trace crate - [#18877](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18877): Record core session rollout traces - [#18878](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18878): Trace tool and code-mode boundaries - [#18879](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18879): Trace sessions and multi-agent edges - [#18880](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/18880): Add debug trace reduction command ## Review Notes This layer is the first live integration point. The important review question is whether trace recording is isolated from normal session behavior: trace failures should not become user-visible execution failures, and recording should preserve the existing turn/session lifecycle semantics. The PR depends on the reducer/data model from the first stack entry and only introduces the core recorder surface that later PRs use for richer runtime and relationship events.
npm i -g @openai/codex
or brew install --cask codex
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.
