Stacked on #20892. ## Why #20892 adds the TUI workspace command abstraction so branch status metadata can run through app-server instead of assuming the CLI process has the active workspace locally. `/diff` still used direct local process execution, which means remote app-server sessions could compute the diff against the wrong machine or fail to see the active workspace at all. This PR moves `/diff` onto that same app-server-backed command path so Git runs wherever the active workspace lives. ## What Changed - Route `/diff` through the TUI `WorkspaceCommandExecutor` using the active chat cwd. - Replace direct `tokio::process::Command` usage in `get_git_diff` with argv-based workspace command requests. - Preserve the existing `/diff` behavior: tracked diff output, untracked file diffs, treating Git diff exit code `1` as success, and showing the existing non-git-repository message. - Extend `WorkspaceCommand` with caller-set timeouts and an explicit uncapped-output opt-out. Metadata probes remain capped by default; `/diff` opts out because its full output is the user-visible payload. ## How to Test Manual reviewer path: 1. Start the Codex TUI from a Git worktree with one tracked file change and one untracked file. 2. Run `/diff`. 3. Confirm the rendered diff includes both the tracked diff and the untracked file diff. 4. Start the TUI outside a Git worktree, or switch to a non-git cwd, then run `/diff`. 5. Confirm it shows the existing `/diff` not-inside-a-git-repository message. Targeted tests run: - `cargo test -p codex-tui get_git_diff -- --nocapture` - `cargo test -p codex-tui branch_summary -- --nocapture` - `cargo test -p codex-tui`
npm i -g @openai/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 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.
