## Why
Users have been reporting missing sessions in the app. The app server
thread listing is backed by the SQLite state DB, but the durable source
of truth for a thread still exists on disk as rollout JSONL. When the
state DB is incomplete, doctor should be able to show the mismatch
directly instead of leaving users with a generic state health result.
## What changed
This adds a `threads` doctor check that compares active and archived
rollout files under `CODEX_HOME` with rows in the SQLite `threads`
table. The check reports missing rollout rows, stale DB rows, archive
flag mismatches, duplicate rollout thread IDs, duplicate DB paths,
source/provider summaries, and bounded samples of affected rollout
paths.
It also adds a read-only state audit helper in `codex-rs/state` so
doctor can inspect thread rows without creating, migrating, or repairing
the database.

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
Run the following on Mac or Linux to install Codex CLI:
curl -fsSL https://chatgpt.com/codex/install.sh | sh
Run the following on Windows to install Codex CLI:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://chatgpt.com/codex/install.ps1 | iex"
Codex CLI can also be installed via the following package managers:
# 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.
