## Why Multi-agent v2 identifies agents by canonical paths, but its tool handlers still emitted the larger legacy collaboration begin/end events built around nickname and role metadata. App-server, rollout-trace, analytics, and TUI consumers therefore lacked one compact path-based completion signal that behaved consistently across live events and replay. The TUI also needs a bounded `/agent` status surface for v2 agents. It should use recent local activity for previews, refresh liveness without loading full histories, and keep the legacy picker available when no path-backed v2 agent is known. ## What changed - Replace the v2 `spawn_agent`, `send_message`, `followup_task`, and `interrupt_agent` legacy lifecycle emissions with a success-only `SubAgentActivity` event. The event records the tool call ID, occurrence time, affected thread, canonical agent path, and `started`, `interacted`, or `interrupted` kind. - Expose the activity as a completion-only app-server v2 `subAgentActivity` thread item in live notifications and reconstructed history, regenerate the protocol schemas, and count it in sub-agent tool analytics. - Track canonical paths from live activity and loaded-thread metadata in the TUI, and render the activity in live and replayed transcripts. - Make `/agent` list running path-backed agents with summaries from bounded local event buffers. Each summary is capped at 240 graphemes, the scan is capped at six recent items, only the last three wrapped lines are shown, and command output is omitted. Liveness falls back to metadata-only `thread/read` when local turn state is unavailable. - Persist the activity as a terminal rollout-trace runtime payload and reduce it to the corresponding spawn, send, follow-up, or close interaction edge. `interrupt_agent` is classified as a close-edge operation. - Preserve the legacy picker when no path-backed v2 agent is known. ## Compatibility App-server v2 clients that consumed `collabAgentToolCall` begin/end pairs for these tools must handle the new completion-only `subAgentActivity` item. Legacy v1 collaboration behavior is unchanged. ## Screenshot <img width="684" height="288" alt="Screenshot 2026-06-08 at 15 40 47" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/194b3cd0-619d-45fb-b587-cf3e2b1b8a1d" /> ## Testing - `just test -p codex-app-server-protocol` - `just test -p codex-rollout-trace` - Added focused coverage for activity analytics, terminal trace serialization, spawn-edge reduction, `interrupt_agent` classification, TUI status rendering without aggregated command output, and clearing stale running state after a completed turn.
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.
