Felipe Coury 050a2e2668 fix(app-server): speed up shutdown (#23578)
## Why

Pressing `Ctrl+C` or `Ctrl+D` in the TUI could make Codex pause during
shutdown when app-server background work still held outbound sender
clones.

Shutdown tracing against the current `~/.codex` path found three
relevant holders:

- `SkillsWatcher` kept its event-loop task alive until the shutdown
timeout path.
- `AppServerAttestationProvider` retained a strong
`Arc<OutgoingMessageSender>`, which could keep outbound teardown waiting
after the processor task had exited.
- A background `apps/list` task could still own an outbound sender when
shutdown began, causing the in-process app-server runtime to wait for
its outbound channel to close.

## What Changed

- Give `SkillsWatcher` an explicit shutdown `CancellationToken` and
cancel it from app-server teardown so its event loop drops the outbound
sender promptly.
- Change `AppServerAttestationProvider` to keep a
`Weak<OutgoingMessageSender>` and return immediately when it can no
longer be upgraded.
- Give `AppsRequestProcessor` a shutdown `CancellationToken` and cancel
in-flight background `apps/list` work during teardown.

## How to Test

1. Start Codex TUI from a real home configuration.
2. Press `Ctrl+C`.
3. Confirm Codex exits promptly instead of pausing during shutdown.
4. Repeat with `Ctrl+D` and confirm the same prompt exit path.

Focused manual trace validation from the investigation:

- Before the full fix, reproduced shutdown traces showed outbound
teardown waiting on lingering owners, including `attestation.provider=1`
and later `apps.list.task=1`.
- After the fix, fresh real-home `Ctrl+D` traces showed
`app_server.runtime.outbound_state_after_processor_join` with
`owners=none`, `app_server.runtime.wait_outbound_handle = 0ms`, and
total TUI app-server shutdown around `18ms`.

Targeted validation:

npm i -g @openai/codex
or brew install --cask codex

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

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
  • 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.
