Agent IDE — Codex fork for AI-native development environment

## Summary - add tracing-based diagnostics for nested `codex.tool(...)` calls made from `js_repl` - emit a bounded, sanitized summary at `info!` - emit the exact raw serialized response object or error string seen by JavaScript at `trace!` - document how to enable these logs and where to find them, especially for `codex app-server` ## Why Nested `codex.tool(...)` calls inside `js_repl` are a debugging boundary: JavaScript sees the tool result, but that result is otherwise hard to inspect from outside the kernel. This change adds explicit tracing for that path using the repo’s normal observability pattern: - `info` for compact summaries - `trace` for exact raw payloads when deep debugging is needed ## What changed - `js_repl` now summarizes nested tool-call results across the response shapes it can receive: - message content - function-call outputs - custom tool outputs - MCP tool results and MCP error results - direct error strings - each nested `codex.tool(...)` completion logs: - `exec_id` - `tool_call_id` - `tool_name` - `ok` - a bounded summary struct describing the payload shape - at `trace`, the same path also logs the exact serialized response object or error string that JavaScript received - docs now include concrete logging examples for `codex app-server` - unit coverage was added for multimodal function output summaries and error summaries ## How to use it ### Summary-only logging Set: ```sh RUST_LOG=codex_core::tools::js_repl=info ``` For `codex app-server`, tracing output is written to the server process `stderr`. Example: ```sh RUST_LOG=codex_core::tools::js_repl=info \ LOG_FORMAT=json \ codex app-server \ 2> /tmp/codex-app-server.log ``` This emits bounded summary lines for nested `codex.tool(...)` calls. ### Full raw debugging Set: ```sh RUST_LOG=codex_core::tools::js_repl=trace ``` Example: ```sh RUST_LOG=codex_core::tools::js_repl=trace \ LOG_FORMAT=json \ codex app-server \ 2> /tmp/codex-app-server.log ``` At `trace`, you get: - the same `info` summary line - a `trace` line with the exact serialized response object seen by JavaScript - or the exact error string if the nested tool call failed ### Where the logs go For `codex app-server`, these logs go to process `stderr`, so redirect or capture `stderr` to inspect them. Example: ```sh RUST_LOG=codex_core::tools::js_repl=trace \ LOG_FORMAT=json \ /Users/fjord/code/codex/codex-rs/target/debug/codex app-server \ 2> /tmp/codex-app-server.log ``` Then inspect: ```sh rg "js_repl nested tool call" /tmp/codex-app-server.log ``` Without an explicit `RUST_LOG` override, these `js_repl` nested tool-call logs are typically not visible. |

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.
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.
