## Summary - suppress configured `openai-curated` plugins when the remote plugin feature is enabled and auth uses the Codex backend - preserve `openai-api-curated` and non-Codex-backend behavior while including remote catalog activation in the plugin load cache key - add core plugin coverage and an app-server integration test for runtime feature enablement ## Why The Codex app enables remote plugins through process-local runtime feature enablement, which can happen after app-server startup tasks have already observed legacy local plugin state. The existing conflict logic only preferred a remote plugin when the same plugin was already installed remotely, so a configured legacy-only plugin could continue exposing skills and other capabilities from `openai-curated`. ## Impact When the remote catalog is active, legacy `openai-curated` plugins no longer contribute skills, MCP servers, apps, or hooks. Remote installed plugins continue to load normally, and `openai-api-curated` remains unaffected. This does not change remote fetch, bundle sync, or uninstall behavior. ## Validation - `just test -p codex-core-plugins remote_global_catalog_ignores_local_curated_plugins remote_plugin_feature_keeps_local_curated_without_codex_backend` - `just test -p codex-app-server runtime_remote_plugin_enablement_excludes_local_curated_plugin_skills` - `just fmt` - `git diff --check`
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.
