Charley Cunningham 96386755b6 Refine request_user_input TUI interactions and option UX (#10025)
## Summary
Overhaul the ask‑user‑questions TUI to support “Other/None” answers,
better notes handling, improved option selection
UX, and a safer submission flow with confirmation for unanswered
questions.

Multiple choice (number keys for quick selection, up/down or jk for
cycling through options):

/>

Freeform (also note enter tooltip is highlighted on last question to
indicate questions UI will be exited upon submission):

## Key Changes
- **Options UI refresh**
- Render options as numbered entries; allow number keys to select &
submit.
- Remove “Option X/Y” header and allow the question UI height to expand
naturally.
- Keep spacing between question, options, and notes even when notes are
visible.
- Hide the title line and render the question prompt in cyan **only when
uncommitted**.

- **“Other / None of the above” support**
  - Wire `isOther` to add “None of the above”.
  - Add guidance text: “Optionally, add details in notes (tab).”

- **Notes composer UX**
- Remove “Notes” heading; place composer directly under the selected
option.
- Preserve pending paste placeholders across question navigation and
after submission.
  - Ctrl+C clears notes **only when the notes composer has focus**.
  - Ctrl+C now triggers an immediate redraw so the clear is visible.

- **Committed vs uncommitted state**
  - Introduce a unified `answer_committed` flag per question.
- Editing notes (including adding text or pastes) marks the answer
uncommitted.
- Changing the option highlight (j/k, up/down) marks the answer
uncommitted.
  - Clearing options (Backspace/Delete) also clears pending notes.
  - Question prompt turns cyan only when the answer is uncommitted.

- **Submission safety & confirmation**
  - Only submit notes/freeform text once explicitly committed.
- Last-question submit with unanswered questions shows a confirmation
dialog.
  - Confirmation options:
    1. **Proceed** (default)
    2. **Go back**
  - Description reflects count: “Submit with N unanswered question(s).”
  - Esc/Backspace in confirmation returns to first unanswered question.
  - Ctrl+C in confirmation interrupts and exits the overlay.

- **Footer hints**
- Cyan highlight restored for “enter to submit answer” / “enter to
submit all”.

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 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.
