## Why
Once the repo-local lint exists, `codex-rs` needs to follow the
checked-in convention and CI needs to keep it from drifting. This commit
applies the fallback `/*param*/` style consistently across existing
positional literal call sites without changing those APIs.
The longer-term preference is still to avoid APIs that require comments
by choosing clearer parameter types and call shapes. This PR is
intentionally the mechanical follow-through for the places where the
existing signatures stay in place.
After rebasing onto newer `main`, the rollout also had to cover newly
introduced `tui_app_server` call sites. That made it clear the first cut
of the CI job was too expensive for the common path: it was spending
almost as much time installing `cargo-dylint` and re-testing the lint
crate as a representative test job spends running product tests. The CI
update keeps the full workspace enforcement but trims that extra
overhead from ordinary `codex-rs` PRs.
## What changed
- keep a dedicated `argument_comment_lint` job in `rust-ci`
- mechanically annotate remaining opaque positional literals across
`codex-rs` with exact `/*param*/` comments, including the rebased
`tui_app_server` call sites that now fall under the lint
- keep the checked-in style aligned with the lint policy by using
`/*param*/` and leaving string and char literals uncommented
- cache `cargo-dylint`, `dylint-link`, and the relevant Cargo
registry/git metadata in the lint job
- split changed-path detection so the lint crate's own `cargo test` step
runs only when `tools/argument-comment-lint/*` or `rust-ci.yml` changes
- continue to run the repo wrapper over the `codex-rs` workspace, so
product-code enforcement is unchanged
Most of the code changes in this commit are intentionally mechanical
comment rewrites or insertions driven by the lint itself.
## Verification
- `./tools/argument-comment-lint/run.sh --workspace`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui-app-server -p codex-tui`
- parsed `.github/workflows/rust-ci.yml` locally with PyYAML

This PR configures Codex CLI so it can be built with
[Bazel](https://bazel.build) in addition to Cargo. The `.bazelrc`
includes configuration so that remote builds can be done using
[BuildBuddy](https://www.buildbuddy.io).
If you are familiar with Bazel, things should work as you expect, e.g.,
run `bazel test //... --keep-going` to run all the tests in the repo,
but we have also added some new aliases in the `justfile` for
convenience:
- `just bazel-test` to run tests locally
- `just bazel-remote-test` to run tests remotely (currently, the remote
build is for x86_64 Linux regardless of your host platform). Note we are
currently seeing the following test failures in the remote build, so we
still need to figure out what is happening here:
```
failures:
suite::compact::manual_compact_twice_preserves_latest_user_messages
suite::compact_resume_fork::compact_resume_after_second_compaction_preserves_history
suite::compact_resume_fork::compact_resume_and_fork_preserve_model_history_view
```
- `just build-for-release` to build release binaries for all
platforms/architectures remotely
To setup remote execution:
- [Create a buildbuddy account](https://app.buildbuddy.io/) (OpenAI
employees should also request org access at
https://openai.buildbuddy.io/join/ with their `@openai.com` email
address.)
- [Copy your API key](https://app.buildbuddy.io/docs/setup/) to
`~/.bazelrc` (add the line `build
--remote_header=x-buildbuddy-api-key=YOUR_KEY`)
- Use `--config=remote` in your `bazel` invocations (or add `common
--config=remote` to your `~/.bazelrc`, or use the `just` commands)
## CI
In terms of CI, this PR introduces `.github/workflows/bazel.yml`, which
uses Bazel to run the tests _locally_ on Mac and Linux GitHub runners
(we are working on supporting Windows, but that is not ready yet). Note
that the failures we are seeing in `just bazel-remote-test` do not occur
on these GitHub CI jobs, so everything in `.github/workflows/bazel.yml`
is green right now.
The `bazel.yml` uses extra config in `.github/workflows/ci.bazelrc` so
that macOS CI jobs build _remotely_ on Linux hosts (using the
`docker://docker.io/mbolin491/codex-bazel` Docker image declared in the
root `BUILD.bazel`) using cross-compilation to build the macOS
artifacts. Then these artifacts are downloaded locally to GitHub's macOS
runner so the tests can be executed natively. This is the relevant
config that enables this:
```
common:macos --config=remote
common:macos --strategy=remote
common:macos --strategy=TestRunner=darwin-sandbox,local
```
Because of the remote caching benefits we get from BuildBuddy, these new
CI jobs can be extremely fast! For example, consider these two jobs that
ran all the tests on Linux x86_64:
- Bazel 1m37s
https://github.com/openai/codex/actions/runs/20861063212/job/59940545209?pr=8875
- Cargo 9m20s
https://github.com/openai/codex/actions/runs/20861063192/job/59940559592?pr=8875
For now, we will continue to run both the Bazel and Cargo jobs for PRs,
but once we add support for Windows and running Clippy, we should be
able to cutover to using Bazel exclusively for PRs, which should still
speed things up considerably. We will probably continue to run the Cargo
jobs post-merge for commits that land on `main` as a sanity check.
Release builds will also continue to be done by Cargo for now.
