Michael Bolin 956f2f439e refactor: decouple MCP policy construction from escalate server (#12555)
## Why
The current escalate path in `codex-rs/exec-server` still had policy
creation coupled to MCP details, which makes it hard to reuse the shell
execution flow outside the MCP server. This change is part of a broader
goal to split MCP-specific behavior from shared escalation execution so
other handlers (for example a future `ShellCommandHandler`) can reuse it
without depending on MCP request context types.

## What changed
- Added a new `EscalationPolicyFactory` abstraction in `mcp.rs`:
  - `crate`-relative path: `codex-rs/exec-server/src/posix/mcp.rs`
-
https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/main/codex-rs/exec-server/src/posix/mcp.rs#L87-L107
- Made `run_escalate_server` in `mcp.rs` accept a policy factory instead
of constructing `McpEscalationPolicy` directly.
-
https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/main/codex-rs/exec-server/src/posix/mcp.rs#L178-L201
- Introduced `McpEscalationPolicyFactory` that stores MCP-only state
(`RequestContext`, `preserve_program_paths`) and implements the new
trait.
-
https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/main/codex-rs/exec-server/src/posix/mcp.rs#L100-L117
- Updated `shell()` to pass a `McpEscalationPolicyFactory` instance into
`run_escalate_server`, so the server remains the MCP-specific wiring
layer.
-
https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/main/codex-rs/exec-server/src/posix/mcp.rs#L163-L170

## Verification
- Build and test execution was not re-run in this pass; changes are
limited to `mcp.rs` and preserve the existing escalation flow semantics
by only extracting policy construction behind a factory.

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

Run codex and select Sign in with ChatGPT. We recommend signing into your ChatGPT account to use Codex as part of your Plus, Pro, Team, Edu, or Enterprise plan. Learn more about what's included in your ChatGPT plan.

You can also use Codex with an API key, but this requires additional setup.
