Curtis 'Fjord' Hawthorne 125fbec317 Fix js_repl view_image attachments in nested tool calls (#12725)
## Summary

- Fix `js_repl` so `await codex.tool("view_image", { path })` actually
attaches the image to the active turn when called from inside the JS
REPL.
- Restore the behavior expected by the existing `js_repl`
image-attachment test.
- This is a follow-up to
[#12553](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/12553), which changed
`view_image` to return structured image content.

## Root Cause

- [#12553](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/12553) changed
`view_image` from directly injecting a pending user image message to
returning structured `function_call_output` content items.
- The nested tool-call bridge inside `js_repl` serialized that tool
response back to the JS runtime, but it did not mirror returned image
content into the active turn.
- As a result, `view_image` appeared to succeed inside `js_repl`, but no
`input_image` was actually attached for the outer turn.

## What Changed

- Updated the nested tool-call path in `js_repl` to inspect function
tool responses for structured content items.
- When a nested tool response includes `input_image` content, `js_repl`
now injects a corresponding user `Message` into the active turn before
returning the raw tool result back to the JS runtime.
- Kept the normal JSON result flow intact, so `codex.tool(...)` still
returns the original tool output object to JavaScript.

## Why

- `js_repl` documentation and tests already assume that `view_image` can
be used from inside the REPL to attach generated images to the model.
- Without this fix, the nested call path silently dropped that
attachment behavior.

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.
