Michael Bolin 9e7cdbd0d2 core: box multi-agent handler futures (#22266)
## Why

This is the base PR in the split stack for the permissions migration. It
isolates stack-safety work that had been mixed into the larger
permissions PR, so reviewers can evaluate the async-future changes
separately from the permissions model changes in #22267.

The main risk this addresses is large or recursive multi-agent futures
overflowing smaller runner stacks. A follow-up review also called out
that `shutdown_live_agent` must remain quiescent: callers should not
remove a live agent from tracking or release its spawn slot until the
worker loop has actually terminated.

## What Changed

- Boxes the large async futures in the multi-agent spawn, resume, and
close tool handlers.
- Boxes the `AgentControl` spawn and recursive close/shutdown paths that
can otherwise build very deep futures.
- Keeps `shutdown_live_agent` waiting for thread termination before
removing/releasing the live agent, preserving the previous shutdown
ordering while still boxing the recursive close path.

## Verification Strategy

The focused local coverage was `cargo test -p codex-core multi_agents`,
which exercises the multi-agent spawn/resume/close handlers, cascade
close/resume behavior, and the shutdown path touched by this PR.

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.
