Felipe Coury a66712c95d fix(tui): warn on unsupported iTerm2 pet versions (#23371)
## Why

Older iTerm2 builds can be detected as supporting the image transport
that terminal pets use, but in practice they fail to render the pet flow
correctly. Instead of silently attempting image rendering, Codex should
tell the user that their iTerm2 version is too old and that upgrading is
the fix.

## What Changed

- gate iTerm2 pet auto-detection on version `3.6.0` or newer
- show a dedicated upgrade message for older or unknown iTerm2 versions
instead of the generic unsupported-terminal warning
- keep the existing generic unsupported-terminal path for non-iTerm
terminals
- add regression coverage for iTerm2 version parsing and the old-iTerm
warning path

## How to Test

1. Start Codex in iTerm2 3.6 or newer.
2. Run `/pets`.
3. Confirm the pets picker opens instead of showing a warning.
4. Start Codex in an older iTerm2 build, or exercise the equivalent test
path.
5. Run `/pets`.
6. Confirm Codex warns that pets require iTerm2 3.6 or newer and tells
the user to upgrade.
7. Also verify that a non-iTerm unsupported terminal still shows the
generic unsupported-terminal message.

Targeted tests:
- `cargo test -p codex-terminal-detection`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui pets::`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui slash_pets_on_unsupported_terminal`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui slash_pets_on_old_iterm2`

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.
