## Why Wrapped URLs in rich TUI output, especially URLs rendered inside Markdown tables, are split across terminal rows. In terminals that support OSC 8 hyperlinks, treating each visible fragment as part of the complete destination enables reliable open-link and copy-link actions even after table layout wraps the URL. This addresses the semantic-link portion of #12200 and the behavior described in https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/12200#issuecomment-4535452980. It does not change ordinary drag-selection across bordered table rows. ## What Changed - Added shared TUI OSC 8 support that validates `http://` and `https://` destinations, sanitizes terminal payloads, and applies metadata separately from visible line width/layout. - Added semantic web-link annotations to assistant and proposed-plan Markdown, including explicit web links and bare web URLs in prose and table cells while excluding code and non-web Markdown destinations. - Preserved complete URL targets through table wrapping, narrow pipe fallback, streaming, transcript overlay rendering, history insertion, and resize replay. - Routed intentional Codex-owned links in notices, status/setup/app-link, feedback, onboarding, MCP/plugin help, memories, and update surfaces through the shared hyperlink handling. ## How to Test 1. Run Codex in a terminal with OSC 8 link support, such as Ghostty, and request an assistant response containing a Markdown table whose last column contains a long `https://` URL. 2. Make the terminal narrow enough for the URL to wrap across multiple bordered table rows. 3. Use the terminal's open-link or copy-link action on more than one wrapped URL fragment and confirm each fragment resolves to the complete original URL. 4. Resize the terminal after the table is rendered and repeat the link action to confirm the destination survives scrollback replay. 5. Open the transcript overlay while rich output is present and confirm web links remain interactive there. 6. As a regression check, render inline/fenced code containing URL text and a Markdown link such as `[https://example.com](mailto:support@example.com)`; confirm these do not acquire a web OSC 8 destination. Targeted automated coverage exercised Markdown links and exclusions, wrapped and pipe-fallback tables, streaming/transcript overlay propagation, status-link truncation, and rendered word-wrapping cell alignment. `just test -p codex-tui` was also run; it passed the hyperlink coverage and reproduced two unrelated existing guardian feature-flag test failures.
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.
