## Why Ctrl+C can take a noticeable amount of time to finish when the TUI is waiting for the app-server thread shutdown path to complete. Before this change, the UI could look like it had not accepted the shutdown request because the composer and cursor remained in their normal interactive state during that wait. This PR makes the accepted shutdown visible immediately. It does not add an artificial sleep or change the shutdown timeout; it only draws one final feedback frame before continuing through the existing shutdown flow. ## What Changed - On `ExitMode::ShutdownFirst`, the TUI now renders shutdown feedback before awaiting the existing thread shutdown future. - The bottom pane disables composer input, which hides the cursor through the existing disabled-input cursor path. - The composer shows `Shutting down...` as the disabled input hint and suppresses footer content so the shutdown acknowledgement is not competing with shortcut/status text. - The logout path uses the same feedback path before shutting down. ## How to Test 1. Start Codex from this branch. 2. Press `Ctrl+C` to request shutdown. 3. If shutdown takes long enough to observe, confirm the composer changes to `› Shutting down...`, the cursor disappears, and no footer hint is rendered below it. 4. Regression check: repeat with text already typed in the composer and confirm the visible row still switches to `Shutting down...` while the draft remains preserved internally until the process exits. Targeted tests: - `cargo test -p codex-tui shutdown_in_progress_disables_input_and_uses_hint_without_footer` - `cargo test -p codex-tui bottom_pane::footer::tests::` ## Local Validation Note `cargo test -p codex-tui` still aborts in `app::tests::discard_side_thread_removes_agent_navigation_entry` with a stack overflow. That same test also failed when run alone locally, and the failure appears unrelated to this shutdown feedback path.
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.
