Agent IDE — Codex fork for AI-native development environment

we recently changed file linking so the model uses markdown links when it wants something to be clickable. This works well across the GUI surfaces because they can render markdown cleanly and use the full absolute path in the anchor target. A previous pass hid the absolute path in the TUI (and only showed the label), but that also meant we could lose useful location info when the model put the line number or range in the anchor target instead of the label. This follow-up keeps the TUI behavior simple while making local file links feel closer to the old TUI file reference style. key changes: - Local markdown file links in the TUI keep the old file-ref feel: code styling, no underline, no visible absolute path. - If the hidden local anchor target includes a location suffix and the label does not already include one, we append that suffix to the visible label. - This works for single lines, line/column references, and ranges. - If the label already includes the location, we leave it alone. - normal web links keep the old TUI markdown-link behavior some examples: - `[foo.rs](/abs/path/foo.rs)` renders as `foo.rs` - `[foo.rs](/abs/path/foo.rs:45)` renders as `foo.rs:45` - `[foo.rs](/abs/path/foo.rs:45:3-48:9)` renders as `foo.rs:45:3-48:9` - `[foo.rs:45](/abs/path/foo.rs:45)` stays `foo.rs:45` - `[docs](https://example.com/docs)` still renders like a normal web link how it looks: <img width="732" height="813" alt="Screenshot 2026-02-26 at 9 27 55 AM" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d51bf236-653a-4e83-96e4-9427f0804471" /> |

npm i -g @openai/codex
or brew install --cask codex
Codex CLI is a coding agent from OpenAI that runs locally on your computer.
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
- Apple Silicon/arm64:
- Linux
- x86_64:
codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz - arm64:
codex-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz
- x86_64:
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.
