feat: initial import of Rust implementation of Codex CLI in codex-rs/ (#629)
As stated in `codex-rs/README.md`:
Today, Codex CLI is written in TypeScript and requires Node.js 22+ to
run it. For a number of users, this runtime requirement inhibits
adoption: they would be better served by a standalone executable. As
maintainers, we want Codex to run efficiently in a wide range of
environments with minimal overhead. We also want to take advantage of
operating system-specific APIs to provide better sandboxing, where
possible.
To that end, we are moving forward with a Rust implementation of Codex
CLI contained in this folder, which has the following benefits:
- The CLI compiles to small, standalone, platform-specific binaries.
- Can make direct, native calls to
[seccomp](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/seccomp.2.html) and
[landlock](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/landlock.7.html) in
order to support sandboxing on Linux.
- No runtime garbage collection, resulting in lower memory consumption
and better, more predictable performance.
Currently, the Rust implementation is materially behind the TypeScript
implementation in functionality, so continue to use the TypeScript
implmentation for the time being. We will publish native executables via
GitHub Releases as soon as we feel the Rust version is usable.

Add explicit codex exec events (#4177)
This pull request add a new experimental format of JSON output.
You can try it using `codex exec --experimental-json`.
Design takes a lot of inspiration from Responses API items and stream
format.
# Session and items
Each invocation of `codex exec` starts or resumes a session.
Session contains multiple high-level item types:
1. Assistant message
2. Assistant thinking
3. Command execution
4. File changes
5. To-do lists
6. etc.
# Events
Session and items are going through their life cycles which is
represented by events.
Session is `session.created` or `session.resumed`
Items are `item.added`, `item.updated`, `item.completed`,
`item.require_approval` (or other item types like `item.output_delta`
when we need streaming).
So a typical session can look like:
<details>
```

The idea is to give users fully formatted items they can use directly in
their rendering/application logic and avoid having them building up
items manually based on events (unless they want to for streaming).
This PR implements only the `item.completed` payload for some event
types, more event types and item types to come.

The idea is to give users fully formatted items they can use directly in
their rendering/application logic and avoid having them building up
items manually based on events (unless they want to for streaming).
This PR implements only the `item.completed` payload for some event
types, more event types and item types to come.

fix: support special --codex-run-as-apply-patch arg (#1702)
This introduces some special behavior to the CLIs that are using the
`codex-arg0` crate where if `arg1` is `--codex-run-as-apply-patch`, then
it will run as if `apply_patch arg2` were invoked. This is important
because it means we can do things like:
```
SANDBOX_TYPE=landlock # or seatbelt for macOS
codex debug "${SANDBOX_TYPE}" -- codex --codex-run-as-apply-patch PATCH
```
which gives us a way to run `apply_patch` while ensuring it adheres to
the sandbox the user specified.
While it would be nice to use the `arg0` trick like we are currently
doing for `codex-linux-sandbox`, there is no way to specify the `arg0`
for the underlying command when running under `/usr/bin/sandbox-exec`,
so it will not work for us in this case.
Admittedly, we could have also supported this via a custom environment
variable (e.g., `CODEX_ARG0`), but since environment variables are
inherited by child processes, that seemed like a potentially leakier
abstraction.
This change, as well as our existing reliance on checking `arg0`, place
additional requirements on those who include `codex-core`. Its
`README.md` has been updated to reflect this.
While we could have just added an `apply-patch` subcommand to the
`codex` multitool CLI, that would not be sufficient for the standalone
`codex-exec` CLI, which is something that we distribute as part of our
GitHub releases for those who know they will not be using the TUI and
therefore prefer to use a slightly smaller executable:
https://github.com/openai/codex/releases/tag/rust-v0.10.0
To that end, this PR adds an integration test to ensure that the
`--codex-run-as-apply-patch` option works with the standalone
`codex-exec` CLI.

OpenTelemetry events (#2103)
### Title
## otel
Codex can emit [OpenTelemetry](https://opentelemetry.io/) **log events**
that
describe each run: outbound API requests, streamed responses, user
input,
tool-approval decisions, and the result of every tool invocation. Export
is
**disabled by default** so local runs remain self-contained. Opt in by
adding an
`[otel]` table and choosing an exporter.
```toml
[otel]
environment = "staging" # defaults to "dev"
exporter = "none" # defaults to "none"; set to otlp-http or otlp-grpc to send events
log_user_prompt = false # defaults to false; redact prompt text unless explicitly enabled
```
Codex tags every exported event with `service.name = "codex-cli"`, the
CLI
version, and an `env` attribute so downstream collectors can distinguish
dev/staging/prod traffic. Only telemetry produced inside the
`codex_otel`
crate—the events listed below—is forwarded to the exporter.
### Event catalog
Every event shares a common set of metadata fields: `event.timestamp`,
`conversation.id`, `app.version`, `auth_mode` (when available),
`user.account_id` (when available), `terminal.type`, `model`, and
`slug`.
With OTEL enabled Codex emits the following event types (in addition to
the
metadata above):
- `codex.api_request`
- `cf_ray` (optional)
- `attempt`
- `duration_ms`
- `http.response.status_code` (optional)
- `error.message` (failures)
- `codex.sse_event`
- `event.kind`
- `duration_ms`
- `error.message` (failures)
- `input_token_count` (completion only)
- `output_token_count` (completion only)
- `cached_token_count` (completion only, optional)
- `reasoning_token_count` (completion only, optional)
- `tool_token_count` (completion only)
- `codex.user_prompt`
- `prompt_length`
- `prompt` (redacted unless `log_user_prompt = true`)
- `codex.tool_decision`
- `tool_name`
- `call_id`
- `decision` (`approved`, `approved_for_session`, `denied`, or `abort`)
- `source` (`config` or `user`)
- `codex.tool_result`
- `tool_name`
- `call_id`
- `arguments`
- `duration_ms` (execution time for the tool)
- `success` (`"true"` or `"false"`)
- `output`
### Choosing an exporter
Set `otel.exporter` to control where events go:
- `none` – leaves instrumentation active but skips exporting. This is
the
default.
- `otlp-http` – posts OTLP log records to an OTLP/HTTP collector.
Specify the
endpoint, protocol, and headers your collector expects:
```toml
[otel]
exporter = { otlp-http = {
endpoint = "https://otel.example.com/v1/logs",
protocol = "binary",
headers = { "x-otlp-api-key" = "${OTLP_TOKEN}" }
}}
```
- `otlp-grpc` – streams OTLP log records over gRPC. Provide the endpoint
and any
metadata headers:
```toml
[otel]
exporter = { otlp-grpc = {
endpoint = "https://otel.example.com:4317",
headers = { "x-otlp-meta" = "abc123" }
}}
```
If the exporter is `none` nothing is written anywhere; otherwise you
must run or point to your
own collector. All exporters run on a background batch worker that is
flushed on
shutdown.
If you build Codex from source the OTEL crate is still behind an `otel`
feature
flag; the official prebuilt binaries ship with the feature enabled. When
the
feature is disabled the telemetry hooks become no-ops so the CLI
continues to
function without the extra dependencies.

Add explicit codex exec events (#4177)
This pull request add a new experimental format of JSON output.
You can try it using `codex exec --experimental-json`.
Design takes a lot of inspiration from Responses API items and stream
format.
# Session and items
Each invocation of `codex exec` starts or resumes a session.
Session contains multiple high-level item types:
1. Assistant message
2. Assistant thinking
3. Command execution
4. File changes
5. To-do lists
6. etc.
# Events
Session and items are going through their life cycles which is
represented by events.
Session is `session.created` or `session.resumed`
Items are `item.added`, `item.updated`, `item.completed`,
`item.require_approval` (or other item types like `item.output_delta`
when we need streaming).
So a typical session can look like:
<details>

items manually based on events (unless they want to for streaming).
This PR implements only the `item.completed` payload for some event
types, more event types and item types to come.

feat: replace custom mcp-types crate with equivalents from rmcp (#10349)
We started working with MCP in Codex before
https://crates.io/crates/rmcp was mature, so we had our own crate for
MCP types that was generated from the MCP schema:
https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/8b95d3e082376f4cb23e92641705a22afb28a9da/codex-rs/mcp-types/README.md
Now that `rmcp` is more mature, it makes more sense to use their MCP
types in Rust, as they handle details (like the `_meta` field) that our
custom version ignored. Though one advantage that our custom types had
is that our generated types implemented `JsonSchema` and `ts_rs::TS`,
whereas the types in `rmcp` do not. As such, part of the work of this PR
is leveraging the adapters between `rmcp` types and the serializable
types that are API for us (app server and MCP) introduced in #10356.
Note this PR results in a number of changes to
`codex-rs/app-server-protocol/schema`, which merit special attention
during review. We must ensure that these changes are still
backwards-compatible, which is possible because we have:
```diff
- export type CallToolResult = { content: Array<ContentBlock>, isError?: boolean, structuredContent?: JsonValue, };
+ export type CallToolResult = { content: Array<JsonValue>, structuredContent?: JsonValue, isError?: boolean, _meta?: JsonValue, };
```
so `ContentBlock` has been replaced with the more general `JsonValue`.
Note that `ContentBlock` was defined as:
```typescript
export type ContentBlock = TextContent | ImageContent | AudioContent | ResourceLink | EmbeddedResource;
```
so the deletion of those individual variants should not be a cause of
great concern.
Similarly, we have the following change in
`codex-rs/app-server-protocol/schema/typescript/Tool.ts`:
```
- export type Tool = { annotations?: ToolAnnotations, description?: string, inputSchema: ToolInputSchema, name: string, outputSchema?: ToolOutputSchema, title?: string, };
+ export type Tool = { name: string, title?: string, description?: string, inputSchema: JsonValue, outputSchema?: JsonValue, annotations?: JsonValue, icons?: Array<JsonValue>, _meta?: JsonValue, };
```
so:
- `annotations?: ToolAnnotations` ➡️ `JsonValue`
- `inputSchema: ToolInputSchema` ➡️ `JsonValue`
- `outputSchema?: ToolOutputSchema` ➡️ `JsonValue`
and two new fields: `icons?: Array<JsonValue>, _meta?: JsonValue`
