jif-oai 826b2182ed Preserve context baselines for full-history agent forks (#23352)
## Why

Full-history agent forks should continue from the same prompt prefix as
the parent. Dropping the stored `TurnContext` baseline forced the child
to rebuild startup context on its first turn, which can duplicate
developer instructions and also loses the cache continuity that a
full-history fork is supposed to preserve.

Truncated forks are different: once we keep only the last N turns, the
original prompt prefix is no longer intact, so the child must establish
a fresh context baseline.

## What changed

- Preserve `RolloutItem::TurnContext` when forking with
`SpawnAgentForkMode::FullHistory`, and keep dropping it for truncated
forks:
4090717d94/codex-rs/core/src/agent/control.rs (L98-L126)
and
4090717d94/codex-rs/core/src/agent/control.rs (L399-L401)
- Remove the special-case MultiAgentV2 usage-hint filtering path.
Full-history fork now preserves the cached developer prefix instead of
trying to reconstruct part of it.
- Extend the fork coverage to assert both sides of the contract:
full-history forks keep the parent reference baseline, while last-N
forks rebuild context after truncation:
4090717d94/codex-rs/core/src/agent/control_tests.rs (L603-L759)
and
4090717d94/codex-rs/core/src/agent/control_tests.rs (L854-L977)

## Verification

- `cargo test -p codex-core
spawn_agent_can_fork_parent_thread_history_with_sanitized_items --
--nocapture`
- `RUST_MIN_STACK=16777216 cargo test -p codex-core

npm i -g @openai/codex
or brew install --cask codex

Codex CLI is a coding agent from OpenAI that runs locally on your computer.

Codex CLI splash


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
  • Linux
    • x86_64: codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz
    • arm64: codex-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz

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.

Using Codex with your ChatGPT plan
