## Why The environment-backed exec-server transport currently hardcodes 5 second connect and initialize timeouts in `client_transport.rs`. That is short for SSH-backed stdio environments and remote websocket environments, and there is currently no way to raise those values from `CODEX_HOME/environments.toml`. This stacked follow-up raises the default environment transport timeouts and lets each configured environment override them in `environments.toml`. ## What Changed - raise the default environment transport connect and initialize timeouts from 5s to 10s - store concrete timeout values on `ExecServerTransportParams` instead of hardcoding them in `connect_for_transport(...)` - add `connect_timeout_sec` and `initialize_timeout_sec` to `[[environments]]` entries in `environments.toml` - apply parse-time defaults so runtime transport code receives fully resolved timeout values - reject `connect_timeout_sec` on stdio environments because it only applies to websocket transports - extend parser tests to cover the new fields and defaults ## Stack - base: https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/21794 - this PR: configurable environment transport timeouts ## Validation - `cd /Users/starr/code/codex-worktrees/exec-env-timeouts-config-20260508/codex-rs && just fmt` - not run: tests --------- Co-authored-by: Codex <noreply@openai.com>

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.
