## Why We'd like SQLite state to become required and load-bearing. As a first step, let's remove the mechanism that allows us to blow away the SQLite DB on a version bump, and instead rely on graceful migrations. The original motivation ([PR](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/10623)) behind this mechanism was to care less about backwards compatibility while SQLite was being landed, but I'd say it's quite important now to keep the data in it. ## What changed - Make `STATE_DB_FILENAME` and `LOGS_DB_FILENAME` the full canonical filenames: `state_5.sqlite` and `logs_2.sqlite`. - Remove `STATE_DB_VERSION` / `LOGS_DB_VERSION` and the helper that constructed filenames from versions. - Stop `StateRuntime::init` from scanning for or deleting older SQLite DB filenames at startup. - Delete the tests that encoded legacy state/logs DB deletion behavior. ## Verification - `cargo test -p codex-state`
npm i -g @openai/codex
or brew install --cask codex
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.
