## What?
- Render an MCP image output cell whenever a decodable image block
exists in `CallToolResult.content` (including text-before-image or
malformed image before valid image).
## Why?
- Tool results that include caption text before the image currently drop
the image output cell.
- A malformed image block can also suppress later valid image output.
## How?
- Iterate `content` and return the first successfully decoded image
instead of only checking the first block.
- Add unit tests that cover text-before-image ordering and
invalid-image-before-valid.
## Before
```rust
let image = match result {
Ok(mcp_types::CallToolResult { content, .. }) => {
if let Some(mcp_types::ContentBlock::ImageContent(image)) = content.first() {
// decode image (fails -> None)
} else {
None
}
}
_ => None,
}?;
```
## After
```rust
let image = result
.as_ref()
.ok()?
.content
.iter()
.find_map(decode_mcp_image)?;
```
## Risk / Impact
- Low: only affects image cell creation for MCP tool results; no change
for non-image outputs.
## Tests
- [x] `just fmt`
- [x] `cargo test -p codex-tui`
- [x] Rerun after branch update (2026-01-27): `just fmt`, `cargo test -p
codex-tui`
Manual testing
# Manual testing: MCP image tool result rendering (Codex TUI)
# Build the rmcp stdio test server binary:
cd codex-rs
cargo build -p codex-rmcp-client --bin test_stdio_server
# Register the server as an MCP server (absolute path to the built binary):
codex mcp add mcpimg -- /Users/joshka/code/codex-pr-review/codex-rs/target/debug/test_stdio_server
# Then in Codex TUI, ask it to call:
- mcpimg.image_scenario({"scenario":"image_only"})
- mcpimg.image_scenario({"scenario":"text_then_image","caption":"Here is the image:"})
- mcpimg.image_scenario({"scenario":"invalid_base64_then_image"})
- mcpimg.image_scenario({"scenario":"invalid_image_bytes_then_image"})
- mcpimg.image_scenario({"scenario":"multiple_valid_images"})
- mcpimg.image_scenario({"scenario":"image_then_text","caption":"Here is the image:"})
- mcpimg.image_scenario({"scenario":"text_only","caption":"Here is the image:"})
# Expected:
# - You should see an extra history cell: "tool result (image output)" when the
# tool result contains at least one decodable image block (even if earlier
# blocks are text or invalid images).
Fixes #9814

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