## Why `ext/goal` already had the tool specs and contributor wiring for `/goal`, but the installed tools still depended on a placeholder backend that always errored. That meant the extension could not actually own goal persistence even though the dedicated `thread_goals` store already exists. This change wires the extension tools directly to the dedicated goal store so the extension can create, read, and complete goals against real state instead of falling back to host-side placeholders. ## What changed - make `install_with_backend(...)` require `Arc<codex_state::StateRuntime>` so goal storage is always available when the extension is installed - remove the unused no-backend/public backend abstraction from `ext/goal` and have the tool executors talk directly to `StateRuntime` - map `thread_goals` rows into the existing protocol response shape for `get_goal`, `create_goal`, and `update_goal` - preserve current thread-list behavior by filling an empty thread preview from the goal objective when a goal is created through the extension path - add integration coverage for the installed tool surface, including successful goal creation and duplicate-create rejection ## Testing - `cargo test -p codex-goal-extension`
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.
