## Summary Manual provider selection during `codex --oss` startup was still persisting `oss_provider` through the legacy local `config.toml` writer. That bypasses the app-server-owned config mutation path used by the TUI, so this routes the write through the app server config API instead. The net behavior is intentionally narrow: only an interactive picker selection is persisted. Auto-detected single-running-provider startup and explicit `--local-provider` startup remain ephemeral, so merely having one backend running does not make that provider sticky for future runs. ## What Changed - Removed the TUI picker’s direct dependency on `set_default_oss_provider`. - Had `oss_selection` report whether the returned provider came from the interactive picker. - Carried only manually selected providers into startup persistence. - Wrote `oss_provider` via `config/batchWrite` once the app server session is available. - Logged a warning and continued startup if the app-server config write fails. ## Verification Manually smoke-tested the real `codex-tui` binary with a temporary `CODEX_HOME`, pseudo-terminal input, and a fake LM Studio HTTP server: - Interactive picker selection persisted `oss_provider = "lmstudio"`. - Non-picker `--local-provider lmstudio` startup did not persist `oss_provider`.
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
Run the following on Mac or Linux to install Codex CLI:
curl -fsSL https://chatgpt.com/codex/install.sh | sh
Run the following on Windows to install Codex CLI:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://chatgpt.com/codex/install.ps1 | iex"
Codex CLI can also be installed via the following package managers:
# 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.
