## Summary This PR keeps app-server RPC request trace context alive for the full lifetime of the work that request kicks off (e.g. for `thread/start`, this is `app-server rpc handler -> tokio background task -> core op submissions`). Previously we lose trace lineage once the request handler returns or hands work off to background tasks. This approach is especially relevant for `thread/start` and other RPC handlers that run in a non-blocking way. In the near future we'll most likely want to make all app-server handlers run in a non-blocking way by default, and only queue operations that must operate in order (e.g. thread RPCs per thread?), so we want to make sure tracing in app-server just generally works. Depends on https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/14300 **Before** <img width="155" height="207" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c9487459-36f1-436c-beb7-fafeb40737af" /> **After** <img width="299" height="337" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/727392b2-d072-4427-9dc4-0502d8652dea" /> ## What changed - Keep request-scoped trace context around until we send the final response or error, or the connection closes. - Thread that trace context through detached `thread/start` work so background startup stays attached to the originating request. - Pass request trace context through to downstream core operations, including: - thread creation - resume/fork flows - turn submission - review - interrupt - realtime conversation operations - Add tracing tests that verify: - remote W3C trace context is preserved for `thread/start` - remote W3C trace context is preserved for `turn/start` - downstream core spans stay under the originating request span - request-scoped tracing state is cleaned up correctly - Clean up shutdown behavior so detached background tasks and spawned threads are drained before process exit.
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 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.
