## Why When a user stashes a draft with Ctrl+C, then runs `/clear`, the fresh chat session loses the in-memory composer history that held the stashed draft. Pressing Up after `/clear` can then recall an older submitted prompt instead of the draft the user explicitly saved for later. ## What Changed - Record Ctrl+C-cleared composer text through the existing message history path, so it survives the fresh session created by `/clear`. - Keep `/clear` itself out of local slash-command recall so it does not sit ahead of the stashed draft. - Add regression coverage for the full flow: submit a prompt, stash a later draft with Ctrl+C, run `/clear`, then recall the stashed draft before the older prompt. ## How to Test 1. Start Codex with `just c`. 2. Submit a short prompt such as `ok` and wait for the turn to complete. 3. Type a new draft, press Ctrl+C, then run `/clear`. 4. Press Up and confirm the stashed draft is restored. 5. Press Up again and confirm the older submitted prompt is still reachable after the stashed draft. Targeted tests: - `cargo test -p codex-tui slash_clear_after_ctrl_c_keeps_stashed_draft_recallable` Manual verification: - Reproduced the issue in tmux with `RUST_LOG=trace just c -c log_dir=...`: before the fix, Up after `/clear` recalled the older submitted prompt. - Re-tested the same tmux flow after the fix: Up after `/clear` restored the Ctrl+C-stashed draft.
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.
