fix(app-server): surface more helpful errors for json-rpc (#11638)
Propagate client JSON-RPC errors for app-server request callbacks.
Previously a number of possible errors were collapsed to `channel
closed`. Now we should be able to see the underlying client error.

### Summary
This change stops masking client JSON-RPC error responses as generic
callback cancellation in app-server server->client request flows.

Previously, when the client responded with a JSON-RPC error, we removed
the callback entry but did not send anything to the waiting oneshot
receiver. Waiters then observed channel closure (for example, auth
refresh request canceled: channel closed), which hid the actual client
error.

Now, client JSON-RPC errors are forwarded through the callback channel
and handled explicitly by request consumers.

### User-visible behavior
- External auth refresh now surfaces real client JSON-RPC errors when
provided.
- True transport/callback-drop cases still report
canceled/channel-closed semantics.

### Example: client JSON-RPC error is now propagated (not masked as
"canceled")

When app-server asks the client to refresh ChatGPT auth tokens, it sends
a server->client JSON-RPC request like:

```json
{
  "id": 42,
  "method": "account/chatgptAuthTokens/refresh",
  "params": {
    "reason": "unauthorized",
    "previousAccountId": "org-abc"
  }
}
```

If the client cannot refresh and responds with a JSON-RPC error:
```
{
  "id": 42,
  "error": {
    "code": -32000,
    "message": "refresh failed",
    "data": null
  }
}
```

app-server now forwards that error through the callback path and
surfaces:
`auth refresh request failed: code=-32000 message=refresh failed`

Previously, this same case could be reported as:
`auth refresh request canceled: channel closed`

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.
