fix: keep permissions profiles forward compatible (#14107)
## Summary
- preserve unknown `:special_path` tokens, including nested entries, so
older Codex builds warn and ignore instead of failing config load
- fail closed with a startup warning when a permissions profile has
missing or empty filesystem entries instead of aborting profile
compilation
- normalize Windows verbatim paths like `\?\C:\...` before absolute-path
validation while keeping explicit errors for truly invalid paths

## Testing
- just fmt
- cargo test -p codex-core permissions_profiles_allow
- cargo test -p codex-core
normalize_absolute_path_for_platform_simplifies_windows_verbatim_paths
- cargo test -p codex-protocol
unknown_special_paths_are_ignored_by_legacy_bridge
- cargo clippy -p codex-core -p codex-protocol --all-targets -- -D
warnings
- cargo clean

npm i -g @openai/codex
or brew install --cask codex

Codex CLI is a coding agent from OpenAI that runs locally on your computer.

Codex CLI splash


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
  • Linux
    • x86_64: codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz
    • arm64: codex-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz

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.

Using Codex with your ChatGPT plan

Run codex and select Sign in with ChatGPT. We recommend signing into your ChatGPT account to use Codex as part of your Plus, Pro, Team, Edu, or Enterprise plan. Learn more about what's included in your ChatGPT plan.

You can also use Codex with an API key, but this requires additional setup.
