## Why `zsh-fork` sessions launched through unified-exec need the escalation socket to survive the wrapper -> server -> child handoff so later intercepted `exec()` calls can still reach the escalation server. The inherited-fd spawn path also needs to avoid closing Rust's internal exec-error pipe, and the shell-escalation handoff needs to tolerate the receive-side case where a transferred fd is installed into the same stdio slot it will be mapped onto. ## What Changed - Added `SpawnLifecycle::inherited_fds()` in `codex-rs/core/src/unified_exec/process.rs` and threaded inherited fds through `codex-rs/core/src/unified_exec/process_manager.rs` so unified-exec can preserve required descriptors across both PTY and no-stdin pipe spawn paths. - Updated `codex-rs/core/src/tools/runtimes/shell/zsh_fork_backend.rs` to expose the escalation socket fd through the spawn lifecycle. - Added inherited-fd-aware spawn helpers in `codex-rs/utils/pty/src/pty.rs` and `codex-rs/utils/pty/src/pipe.rs`, including Unix pre-exec fd pruning that preserves requested inherited fds while leaving `FD_CLOEXEC` descriptors alone. The pruning helper is now named `close_inherited_fds_except()` to better describe that behavior. - Updated `codex-rs/shell-escalation/src/unix/escalate_client.rs` to duplicate local stdio before transfer and send destination stdio numbers in `SuperExecMessage`, so the wrapper keeps using its own `stdin`/`stdout`/`stderr` until the escalated child takes over. - Updated `codex-rs/shell-escalation/src/unix/escalate_server.rs` so the server accepts the overlap case where a received fd reuses the same stdio descriptor number that the child setup will target with `dup2`. - Added comments around the PTY stdio wiring and the overlap regression helper to make the fd handoff and controlling-terminal setup easier to follow. ## Verification - `cargo test -p codex-utils-pty` - covers preserved-fd PTY spawn behavior, PTY resize, Python REPL continuity, exec-failure reporting, and the no-stdin pipe path - `cargo test -p codex-shell-escalation` - covers duplicated-fd transfer on the client side and verifies the overlap case by passing a pipe-backed stdin payload through the server-side `dup2` path --- [//]: # (BEGIN SAPLING FOOTER) Stack created with [Sapling](https://sapling-scm.com).

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.
