Michael Bolin 0fd54eb9c2 fix: keep rmcp-client env vars as OsString (#15363)
## Why

This is a follow-up to #15360. That change fixed the `arg0` helper
setup, but `rmcp-client` still coerced stdio transport environment
values into UTF-8 `String`s before program resolution and process spawn.
If `PATH` or another inherited environment value contains non-UTF-8
bytes, that loses fidelity before it reaches `which` and `Command`.

## What changed

- change `create_env_for_mcp_server()` to return `HashMap<OsString,
OsString>` and read inherited values with `std::env::var_os()`
- change `TransportRecipe::Stdio.env`, `RmcpClient::new_stdio_client()`,
and `program_resolver::resolve()` to keep stdio transport env values in
`OsString` form within `rmcp-client`
- keep the `codex-core` config boundary stringly, but convert configured
stdio env values to `OsString` once when constructing the transport
- update the rmcp-client stdio test fixtures and callers to use
`OsString` env maps
- add a Unix regression test that verifies `create_env_for_mcp_server()`
preserves a non-UTF-8 `PATH`

## How to verify

- `cargo test -p codex-rmcp-client`
- `cargo test -p codex-core mcp_connection_manager`
- `just argument-comment-lint`

Targeted coverage in this change includes
`utils::tests::create_env_preserves_path_when_it_is_not_utf8`, while the
updated stdio transport path is exercised by the existing rmcp-client
tests that construct `RmcpClient::new_stdio_client()`.

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.
