Reapply "Add app-server transport layer with websocket support" (#11370)
Reapply "Add app-server transport layer with websocket support" with
additional fixes from https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/11313/changes
to avoid deadlocking.

This reverts commit 47356ff83c.

## Summary

To avoid deadlocking when queues are full, we maintain separate tokio
tasks dedicated to incoming vs outgoing event handling
- split the app-server main loop into two tasks in
`run_main_with_transport`
   - inbound handling (`transport_event_rx`)
   - outbound handling (`outgoing_rx` + `thread_created_rx`)
- separate incoming and outgoing websocket tasks

## Validation

Integration tests, testing thoroughly e2e in codex app w/ >10 concurrent
requests

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 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.
