## Why Raw output mode intentionally sends logical source lines to the terminal without Codex-inserted wrapping so copied content retains its original line structure. In Zellij, soft-wrapped continuation rows from those raw lines are not confined by the inline history scroll region. When raw mode replays a long transcript, continuation rows can occupy the composer viewport and are overwritten on the following draw, leaving the transcript visibly truncated underneath the composer. This is specific to the combination of Zellij and raw terminal-wrapped history. Rich output and non-Zellij terminals should continue using the existing insertion behavior. Related context: #20819 introduced raw output mode, and #22214 removed the broad Zellij insertion workaround after the standard rich-output path no longer required it. | Before | After | |---|---| | <img width="1728" height="916" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f85398a5-e930-46d9-bcfd-106a24c41466" /> | <img width="1723" height="912" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5c62e16a-a6e5-4842-bcb2-eab163cda04c" /> | ## What Changed - Cache Zellij detection in `Tui` and select a dedicated insertion mode only for `HistoryLineWrapPolicy::Terminal` batches in Zellij. - For that guarded path, clear the existing viewport, append raw source lines through the terminal so its soft wrapping remains selection-friendly, and reserve empty viewport rows before redrawing the composer. - Add snapshot regressions for both an incremental soft-wrapped raw insert and an overflowing raw transcript replay that starts at the top of the cleared terminal. ## How to Test 1. Start Codex inside Zellij with raw output enabled or toggle raw output after a multiline response is in history. 2. Produce or replay output containing long logical lines, such as a fenced shell command with several wrapped lines. 3. Confirm the wrapped history remains visible above the composer and the composer no longer overwrites the end of the response. 4. Toggle back to rich output or run outside Zellij and confirm standard history rendering still behaves normally. Targeted tests run: - `just test -p codex-tui vt100_zellij_raw -- --nocapture` Additional validation notes: - `just test -p codex-tui` was attempted; the two new Zellij raw insertion tests passed, while two existing `app::tests::update_feature_flags_disabling_guardian_*` tests failed outside this history insertion path. - `just argument-comment-lint` was attempted but local Bazel analysis fails before reaching the changed source because the LLVM `compiler-rt` package is missing `include/sanitizer/*.h`. Modified literal callsites were inspected manually.
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.
