Eric Traut e6312d44f0 Show permissions and approval mode in the TUI status line (#21677)
Fixes #21665.

## Why

The TUI status line is the right place for compact, glanceable session
state. The original request was motivated by the need to see the active
permission posture without opening `/permissions` or `/status`,
especially when switching between safer and more permissive modes during
a session.

This PR intentionally separates `permissions` from `approval-mode`
instead of combining them into one status-line item. They answer related
but different questions: `permissions` describes the active
sandbox/profile shape, while `approval-mode` describes how command
approvals are handled. Keeping them separate makes each item
independently configurable and avoids long combined labels in an already
space-constrained status line.

The tradeoff is that users who want the full permission posture in the
status line need to opt into both items. In exchange, users can show
only the sandbox/profile label, only the approval behavior, or both, and
named user-defined profiles remain concise. Non-standard permission
shapes are rendered as `Custom permissions` rather than trying to
squeeze detailed profile contents into the status line; `/status`
remains the fuller explanatory surface.

## What changed

- Added a configurable `permissions` status-line item.
- Added a separate `approval-mode` status-line item, with `approval` as
an alias.
- Render standard permission states compactly as `Read Only`,
`Workspace`, or `Full Access`.
- Preserve user-defined permission profile names directly in the status
line.
- Render unnamed non-standard permission shapes as `Custom permissions`.
- Refresh status surfaces when `/permissions` updates the permission
profile, approval policy, or approval reviewer.
- Updated status-line preview snapshot coverage for the new items.

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.
