## Summary PR 2 of 5 in the cloud-managed config client stack. Adds a shared requirements-layer composition engine. The composer defines how ordered requirements layers combine, with focused tests for the merge semantics and provenance behavior. The final PR in the stack wires runtime requirements sources into this path. ## Details - Mental model: requirements layers are ordered lowest priority first, matching `ConfigLayerStack`; lower-priority layers provide defaults while higher-priority layers win scalar/list conflicts. - Regular fields use config-style TOML merging, including recursive table merging, so requirements layering follows the same broad model as `config.toml` layering. - Domain-specific fields keep explicit semantics: `rules.prefix_rules` and hooks preserve high-priority-first output, hooks fail closed on active managed-dir conflicts, and `permissions.filesystem.deny_read` dedupes as a stable high-priority-first union. - `remote_sandbox_config` is evaluated within each layer before the regular TOML merge, so host-specific sandbox constraints do not leak across layers. - Provenance points at the exact source when one layer owns a value and uses composite provenance when a table field is assembled from multiple layers. ## Validation Local validation: - `just fmt` - `cargo check -p codex-config` - `just test -p codex-config requirements_composition` - `git diff --check` CI will run the broader test matrix.
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.
