## Why The v2 app-server permission profile fields are experimental, but the previous migration kept a legacy object payload for profile selection. That made clients aware of server-owned `activePermissionProfile` metadata such as `extends`, and it kept a `legacy_additional_writable_roots` path even though `runtimeWorkspaceRoots` now owns runtime workspace-root selection. This PR makes the client contract match the intended model: clients select a permission profile by id, and the server resolves and reports active profile provenance in response payloads. Follow-up to #22611. ## What Changed - Changed `thread/start`, `thread/resume`, `thread/fork`, and `turn/start` permission profile selection to plain profile id strings. - Changed `command/exec.permissionProfile` to a plain profile id string for the same client/server ownership split. - Removed `PermissionProfileSelectionParams` and the legacy `{ type: "profile", modifications: [...] }` compatibility deserializer. - Updated app-server, TUI, and `codex exec` call sites to send only ids, while keeping `activePermissionProfile` as server response metadata. - Updated app-server docs and schema fixtures for the revised `command/exec.permissionProfile` shape. ## Verification - `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol` - `RUST_MIN_STACK=8388608 cargo test -p codex-app-server` - `cargo test -p codex-exec` - `RUST_MIN_STACK=8388608 cargo test -p codex-tui` --- [//]: # (BEGIN SAPLING FOOTER) Stack created with [Sapling](https://sapling-scm.com).

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
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.
