## Why Production Codex binaries are stripped for distribution, which leaves crashes and samples from released builds without the symbols needed for useful stack traces. Publish symbols as separate release assets so production artifacts stay small while released builds remain symbolicateable. ## What changed - Add `.github/scripts/archive-release-symbols-and-strip-binaries.sh` to package platform-native symbols into `codex-symbols-<artifact>.tar.gz` assets while stripping the corresponding Unix binaries before signing. - Build release binaries with full debug information before producing distribution artifacts. - Publish macOS `.dSYM` bundles, Linux `.debug` files with `.gnu_debuglink`, and Windows `.pdb` files. - Strip Linux `bwrap` before computing its packaged-resource digest, but intentionally omit `bwrap` from symbol archives. - Preserve symbols artifacts in the unsigned macOS promotion flow. ## Verification - Ran `shellcheck` and `bash -n` on `.github/scripts/archive-release-symbols-and-strip-binaries.sh`. - Parsed the modified workflow YAML files and ran `git diff --check`. - Built a macOS release smoke binary and verified that the archived `.dSYM` contains DWARF application source information and has the same UUID as the stripped production binary. - Built Linux smoke binaries and verified that the symbol archive contains `codex.debug`, excludes `bwrap.debug`, leaves the expected `.gnu_debuglink` in `codex`, and does not mutate the separately stripped `bwrap` digest. - Staged a Windows smoke archive and verified that it contains the expected `.pdb` file.
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.
