- package.json: expose bin as 'code'
- postinstall: detect existing 'code'; create 'coder' fallback and optional 'vscode' alias to existing editor
- keep Rust binary named 'coder' for builds; wrappers updated accordingly
Successfully merged all upstream changes while preserving our custom functionality:
- Kept our browser integration and screenshot features
- Preserved agent tracking and multi-agent support
- Maintained our live ring widget and custom UI components
- Integrated upstream's streaming improvements and new conversation manager
- Combined both versions' protocol updates and event handling
All conflicts resolved with preference for our functionality where there were genuine differences.
## Summary
Ripgrep is our preferred tool for file search. When users install via
`brew install codex`, it's automatically installed as a dependency. We
want to ensure that users running via an npm install also have this
tool! Microsoft has already solved this problem for VS Code - let's not
reinvent the wheel.
This approach of appending to the PATH directly might be a bit
heavy-handed, but feels reasonably robust to a variety of environment
concerns. Open to thoughts on better approaches here!
## Testing
- [x] confirmed this import approach works with `node -e "const { rgPath
} = require('@vscode/ripgrep'); require('child_process').spawn(rgPath,
['--version'], { stdio: 'inherit' })"`
- [x] Ran codex.js locally with `rg` uninstalled, asked it to run `which
rg`. Output below:
```
⚡ Ran command which rg; echo $?
⎿ /Users/dylan.hurd/code/dh--npm-rg/node_modules/@vscode/ripgrep/bin/rg
0
codex
Re-running to confirm the path and exit code.
- Path: `/Users/dylan.hurd/code/dh--npm-rg/node_modules/@vscode/ripgrep/bin/rg`
- Exit code: `0`
```
- Replace dynamic import of package.json with readFileSync for Node.js compatibility
- Fixes 'ERR_IMPORT_ATTRIBUTE_MISSING' error during npm install
- Bump version to 0.1.3
- Add automatic chmod +x when running coder.js on Unix systems
- Fix postinstall script to use octal notation for chmod (0o755)
- Add better error messages when binary is not executable
- Always try to fix permissions for existing binaries
- Bump version to 0.1.2 for hotfix release
- Add postinstall script to download platform-specific binaries from GitHub releases
- Update package.json to exclude binaries from npm package (only include JS wrappers)
- Modify release workflow to upload binaries as GitHub release assets
- Fixes 'Payload Too Large' error when publishing to npm (was 219MB, now <1MB)
- Add fork-specific README with installation instructions
- Update package.json to @just-every/code v0.1.1
- Prepare for next release with proper versioning
This deletes the bulk of the `codex-cli` folder and eliminates the logic
that builds the TypeScript code and bundles it into the release.
Since this PR modifies `.github/workflows/rust-release.yml`, to test
changes to the release process, I locally commented out all of the "is
this commit on upstream `main`" checks in
`scripts/create_github_release.sh` and ran:
```
./codex-rs/scripts/create_github_release.sh 0.20.0-alpha.4
```
Which kicked off:
https://github.com/openai/codex/actions/runs/16842085113
And the release artifacts appear legit!
https://github.com/openai/codex/releases/tag/rust-v0.20.0-alpha.4
This PR introduces an optional build flag, `--native`, that will build a
version of the Codex npm module that:
- Includes both the Node.js and native Rust versions (for Mac and Linux)
- Will run the native version if `CODEX_RUST=1` is set
- Runs the TypeScript version otherwise
Note this PR also updates the workflow URL to
https://github.com/openai/codex/actions/runs/14872557396, as that is a
build from today that includes everything up through
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/843.
Test Plan:
In `~/code/codex/codex-cli`, I ran:
```
pnpm stage-release --native
```
The end of the output was:
```
Staged version 0.1.2505121317 for release in /var/folders/wm/f209bc1n2bd_r0jncn9s6j_00000gp/T/tmp.xd2p5ETYGN
Test Node:
node /var/folders/wm/f209bc1n2bd_r0jncn9s6j_00000gp/T/tmp.xd2p5ETYGN/bin/codex.js --help
Test Rust:
CODEX_RUST=1 node /var/folders/wm/f209bc1n2bd_r0jncn9s6j_00000gp/T/tmp.xd2p5ETYGN/bin/codex.js --help
Next: cd "/var/folders/wm/f209bc1n2bd_r0jncn9s6j_00000gp/T/tmp.xd2p5ETYGN" && npm publish --tag native
```
I verified that running each of these commands ran the expected version
of Codex.
While here, I also added `bin` to the `files` list in `package.json`,
which should have been done as part of
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/757, as that added new entries to
`bin` that were matched by `.gitignore` but should have been included in
a release.
This introduces `./codex-cli/scripts/stage_release.sh`, which is a shell
script that stages a release for the Node.js module in a temp directory.
It updates the release to include these native binaries:
```
bin/codex-linux-sandbox-arm64
bin/codex-linux-sandbox-x64
```
though this PR does not update Codex CLI to use them yet.
When doing local development, run
`./codex-cli/scripts/install_native_deps.sh` to install these in your
own `bin/` folder.
This PR also updates `README.md` to document the new workflow.

- `/diff` should include untracked files (#686)
- Only allow running without sandbox if explicitly marked in safe
container (#699)
- Tighten up check for /usr/bin/sandbox-exec (#710)

- Duplicate messages in quiet mode (#680)
I am working to simplify the build process. As a first step, update
`session.ts` so it reads the `version` from `package.json` at runtime so
we no longer have to modify it during the build process. I want to get
to a place where the build looks like:
```
cd codex-cli
pnpm i
pnpm build
RELEASE_DIR=$(mktemp -d)
cp -r bin "$RELEASE_DIR/bin"
cp -r dist "$RELEASE_DIR/dist"
cp -r src "$RELEASE_DIR/src" # important if we want sourcemaps to continue to work
cp ../README.md "$RELEASE_DIR"
VERSION=$(printf '0.1.%d' $(date +%y%m%d%H%M))
jq --arg version "$VERSION" '.version = $version' package.json > "$RELEASE_DIR/package.json"
```
Then the contents of `$RELEASE_DIR` should be good to `npm publish`, no?

## Description
This PR addresses the following improvements:
**Unify Prettier Version**: Currently, the Prettier version used in
`/package.json` and `/codex-cli/package.json` are different. In this PR,
we're updating both to use Prettier v3.
- Prettier v3 introduces improved support for JavaScript and TypeScript.
(e.g. the formatting scenario shown in the image below. This is more
aligned with the TypeScript indentation standard).
<img width="1126" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/6e237eb8-4553-4574-b336-ed9561c55370"
/>
**Add Prettier Auto-Formatting in lint-staged**: We've added a step to
automatically run prettier --write on JavaScript and TypeScript files as
part of the lint-staged process, before the ESLint checks.
- This will help ensure that all committed code is properly formatted
according to the project's Prettier configuration.

Publish shouldn't need the source files published along with the
distributable bin.
`src` is being shipped to the registry rn:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/@openai/codex?activeTab=code
You can verify that the src is not needed by packing the project
manually after removing src from the files:
```sh
# from the codex-cli dir
rm -rf dist # just for hygiene
pnpm run build
pnpm pack
mkdir /tmp/codex-tar-test
mv openai-codex-0.1.2504181820.tgz /tmp/codex-tar-test
cd /tmp/codex-tar-test
pnpm init
pnpm add ./openai-codex-0.1.2504181820.tgz /tmp/codex-tar-test
pnpm exec codex --full-auto "run a bash -c command to echo hello world"
```

## Background
Addressing feedback from
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/333#discussion_r2050893224, this PR
adds support for Bun alongside npm, pnpm while keeping the code simple.
## Summary
The update‑check flow is refactored to use a direct registry lookup
(`fast-npm-meta` + `semver`) instead of shelling out to `npm outdated`,
and adds a lightweight installer‑detection mechanism that:
1. Checks if the invoked script lives under a known global‑bin directory
(npm, pnpm, or bun)
2. If not, falls back to local detection via `getUserAgent()` (the
`package‑manager‑detector` library)
## What’s Changed
- **Registry‑based version check**
- Replace `execFile("npm", ["outdated"])` with `getLatestVersion()` and
`semver.gt()`
- **Multi‑manager support**
- New `renderUpdateCommand` handles update commands for `npm`, `pnpm`,
and `bun`.
- Detect global installer first via `detectInstallerByPath()`
- Fallback to local detection via `getUserAgent()`
- **Module cleanup**
- Extract `detectInstallerByPath` into
`utils/package-manager-detector.ts`
- Remove legacy `checkOutdated`, `getNPMCommandPath`, and child‑process
JSON parsing
- **Flow improvements in `checkForUpdates`**
1. Short‑circuit by `UPDATE_CHECK_FREQUENCY`
3. Fetch & compare versions
4. Persist new timestamp immediately
5. Render & display styled box only when an update exists
- **Maintain simplicity**
- All multi‑manager logic lives in one small helper and a concise lookup
rather than a complex adapter hierarchy
- Core `checkForUpdates` remains a single, easy‑to‑follow async function
- **Dependencies added**
- `fast-npm-meta`, `semver`, `package-manager-detector`, `@types/semver`
## Considerations
If we decide to drop the interactive update‑message (`npm install -g
@openai/codex`) rendering altogether, we could remove most of the
installer‑detection code and dependencies, which would simplify the
codebase further but result in a less friendly UX.
