When `tui_app_server` is enabled, shell commands in the transcript render as fully quoted invocations like `/bin/zsh -lc "..."`. The non-app-server TUI correctly shows the parsed command body. Root cause: The app-server stores `ThreadItem::CommandExecution.command` as a shell-quoted string. When `tui_app_server` bridges that item back into the exec renderer, it was passing `vec![command]` unchanged instead of splitting the string back into argv. That prevented `strip_bash_lc_and_escape()` from recognizing the shell wrapper, so the renderer displayed the wrapper literally. Solution: Add a shared command-string splitter that round-trips shell-quoted commands back into argv when it is safe to do so, while preserving non-roundtrippable inputs as a single string. Use that helper everywhere `tui_app_server` reconstructs exec commands from app-server payloads, including live command-execution items, replayed thread items, and exec approval requests. This restores the same command display behavior as the direct TUI path without breaking Windows-style commands that cannot be safely round-tripped.
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.
