## Why Goal completion follow-up turns currently receive a preformatted English usage sentence such as `time used: 2586 seconds`. That nudges the model to echo an awkward raw seconds count in the final reply, even though the tool result already exposes structured usage fields like `goal.timeUsedSeconds`, `goal.tokensUsed`, and `goal.tokenBudget`. ## What changed - Replace the preformatted completion usage sentence with guidance to read the structured goal fields from the tool result. - Preserve token-budget reporting while allowing the model to phrase elapsed time in a concise, human-friendly way that fits the response language. - Update core coverage for both the generated completion guidance and the session flow that forwards it back to the model. ## Verification Previously, it would have output a final message indicating that it "worked for 303 seconds". Now it shows the following: <img width="286" height="35" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d7011880-9449-46a7-856f-4e50ae00eb45" />

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.
