# External (non-OpenAI) Pull Request Requirements
In `js_repl` mode, module resolution currently starts from
`js_repl_kernel.js`, which is written to a per-kernel temp dir. This
effectively means that bare imports will not resolve.
This PR adds a new config option, `js_repl_node_module_dirs`, which is a
list of dirs that are used (in order) to resolve a bare import. If none
of those work, the current working directory of the thread is used.
For example:
```toml
js_repl_node_module_dirs = [
"/path/to/node_modules/",
"/other/path/to/node_modules/",
]
```

# JavaScript REPL (`js_repl`)
|
|
|
|
`js_repl` runs JavaScript in a persistent Node-backed kernel with top-level `await`.
|
|
|
|
## Feature gate
|
|
|
|
`js_repl` is disabled by default and only appears when:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[features]
|
|
js_repl = true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`js_repl_tools_only` can be enabled to force direct model tool calls through `js_repl`:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[features]
|
|
js_repl = true
|
|
js_repl_tools_only = true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
When enabled, direct model tool calls are restricted to `js_repl` and `js_repl_reset`; other tools remain available via `await codex.tool(...)` inside js_repl.
|
|
|
|
## Node runtime
|
|
|
|
`js_repl` requires a Node version that meets or exceeds `codex-rs/node-version.txt`.
|
|
|
|
Runtime resolution order:
|
|
|
|
1. `CODEX_JS_REPL_NODE_PATH` environment variable
|
|
2. `js_repl_node_path` in config/profile
|
|
3. `node` discovered on `PATH`
|
|
|
|
You can configure an explicit runtime path:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
js_repl_node_path = "/absolute/path/to/node"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Module resolution
|
|
|
|
`js_repl` resolves **bare** specifiers (for example `await import("pkg")`) using an ordered
|
|
search path. Path-style specifiers (`./`, `../`, absolute paths, `file:` URLs) are rejected.
|
|
|
|
Module resolution proceeds in the following order:
|
|
|
|
1. `CODEX_JS_REPL_NODE_MODULE_DIRS` (PATH-delimited list)
|
|
2. `js_repl_node_module_dirs` in config/profile (array of absolute paths)
|
|
3. Thread working directory (cwd, always included as the last fallback)
|
|
|
|
For `CODEX_JS_REPL_NODE_MODULE_DIRS` and `js_repl_node_module_dirs`, module resolution is attempted in the order provided with earlier entries taking precedence.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
- `js_repl` is a freeform tool: send raw JavaScript source text.
|
|
- Optional first-line pragma:
|
|
- `// codex-js-repl: timeout_ms=15000`
|
|
- Top-level bindings persist across calls.
|
|
- Top-level static import declarations (for example `import x from "pkg"`) are currently unsupported; use dynamic imports with `await import("pkg")`.
|
|
- Use `js_repl_reset` to clear the kernel state.
|
|
|
|
## Helper APIs inside the kernel
|
|
|
|
`js_repl` exposes these globals:
|
|
|
|
- `codex.state`: mutable object persisted for the current kernel session.
|
|
- `codex.tmpDir`: per-session scratch directory path.
|
|
- `codex.tool(name, args?)`: executes a normal Codex tool call from inside `js_repl` (including shell tools like `shell` / `shell_command` when available).
|
|
- To share generated images with the model, write a file under `codex.tmpDir`, call `await codex.tool("view_image", { path: "/absolute/path" })`, then delete the file.
|
|
|
|
Avoid writing directly to `process.stdout` / `process.stderr` / `process.stdin`; the kernel uses a JSON-line transport over stdio.
|
|
|
|
## Vendored parser asset (`meriyah.umd.min.js`)
|
|
|
|
The kernel embeds a vendored Meriyah bundle at:
|
|
|
|
- `codex-rs/core/src/tools/js_repl/meriyah.umd.min.js`
|
|
|
|
Current source is `meriyah@7.0.0` from npm (`dist/meriyah.umd.min.js`).
|
|
Licensing is tracked in:
|
|
|
|
- `third_party/meriyah/LICENSE`
|
|
- `NOTICE`
|
|
|
|
### How this file was sourced
|
|
|
|
From a clean temp directory:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
tmp="$(mktemp -d)"
|
|
cd "$tmp"
|
|
npm pack meriyah@7.0.0
|
|
tar -xzf meriyah-7.0.0.tgz
|
|
cp package/dist/meriyah.umd.min.js /path/to/repo/codex-rs/core/src/tools/js_repl/meriyah.umd.min.js
|
|
cp package/LICENSE.md /path/to/repo/third_party/meriyah/LICENSE
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### How to update to a newer version
|
|
|
|
1. Replace `7.0.0` in the commands above with the target version.
|
|
2. Copy the new `dist/meriyah.umd.min.js` into `codex-rs/core/src/tools/js_repl/meriyah.umd.min.js`.
|
|
3. Copy the package license into `third_party/meriyah/LICENSE`.
|
|
4. Update the version string in the header comment at the top of `meriyah.umd.min.js`.
|
|
5. Update `NOTICE` if the upstream copyright notice changed.
|
|
6. Run the relevant `js_repl` tests.
