Hanzo Dev is a powerful fork of OpenAI's Codex CLI, enhanced with enterprise features and maintained by Hanzo AI. This is a Rust-based CLI tool that provides AI-powered development assistance directly in the terminal.

Recent Updates (December 2025)

Branding + Tooling Refresh (January 2026)

  • Updated docs and CLI guidance to use Hanzo Dev branding, dev command, and ~/.hanzo as primary config home (legacy ~/.code/~/.codex still read).

High Priority

  1. Unified Execution (commit c09ed74a1)

    • PTY-backed interactive exec with session reuse
    • Bounded output (128 KiB) and timeout clamping
    • Requires use_experimental_unified_exec_tool=true
  2. TUI Onboarding (commit 8453915e0)

    • New model popup and configuration flow
    • Enhanced first-run experience
    • Internal storage for preferences
  3. Simplified Auth Flow (commit e13b35ecb)

    • API key input in UI

Known Issues

  • Build takes significant time on first compilation
  • Some upstream features require config flags to enable
  • Directory structure differs from upstream (codex-rs/ → src/rs/)

Next Steps

  1. Complete testing of current merge
  2. Consider importing unified execution feature
  3. Evaluate TUI onboarding improvements
  4. Update documentation for new features

Merge Strategy

When syncing with upstream:

  1. Fetch from https://github.com/openai/codex
  2. Cherry-pick or manually apply changes
  3. Update paths from codex-rs/ to src/rs/
  4. Preserve Hanzo branding in user-facing strings
  5. Test thoroughly with ./build-fast.sh
