feat(tui2): copy tui crate and normalize snapshots (#7833)

Introduce a full codex-tui source snapshot under the new codex-tui2
crate so viewport work can be replayed in isolation.

This change copies the entire codex-rs/tui/src tree into
codex-rs/tui2/src in one atomic step, rather than piecemeal, to keep
future diffs vs the original viewport bookmark easy to reason about.

The goal is for codex-tui2 to render identically to the existing TUI
behind the `features.tui2` flag while we gradually port the
viewport/history commits from the joshka/viewport bookmark onto this
forked tree.

While on this baseline change, we also ran the codex-tui2 snapshot test
suite and accepted all insta snapshots for the new crate, so the
snapshot files now use the codex-tui2 naming scheme and encode the
unmodified legacy TUI behavior. This keeps later viewport commits
focused on intentional behavior changes (and their snapshots) rather
than on mechanical snapshot renames.

• I need to check the codex-rs repository to explain why the project's binaries
are large. The user is likely seeking specifics about the setup: are Rust
builds static, what features are enabled, and is debug information included?
It could be due to static linking, included OpenSSL, or how panic handling
is set up. I should look into the Cargo.toml file to confirm features and
profiles without needing to edit any code. Let's get started on this!

• I'm reviewing the workspace's release profile, which has settings like
lto=fat, strip=symbols, and codegen-units=1 to reduce binary size. However, it
seems that "strip = symbols" only removes symbols, not debug information. In
Rust 1.73+, both "symbols" and "debuginfo" stripping options are available. I
should check whether using these results in a smaller binary. I’ll also skim
through crates for heavy dependencies in Cargo.toml, including cli, core,
exec, linux-sandbox, tui, login, ollama, and mcp.

• I’m evaluating how binary size is influenced by various factors. There are
many binaries, such as codex and codex-exec, which include dependencies by
default, pulling in features like Tokio and hyper. For instance, reqwest
includes default features like TLS through rustls. If default features remain
enabled, it inflates the size with many additional components. I notice
that for musl targets, using vendored builds of OpenSSL could significantly
increase binary size. This is quite the intricate web of dependencies!
Analyzing musl and binary size
I’m considering the implications of building for musl with static linking.
In this case, OpenSSL might come into play through some crates, but reqwest
defaults to using rustls, although openssl-sys vendored could increase
binary size. It’s interesting to think about whether they’re targeting musl,
especially since it seems they might often be building for Mac and Linux with
dynamic linking instead.
I also realize there’s a difference between debug and release builds — release
should be smaller due to optimizations, but if they’re defaulting to debug
builds, that could lead to much larger binaries.
Assessing crate impacts on size
I need to be precise when analyzing binary sizes from various crates. Some
crates, like ratatui-image, include heavy features such as libjpeg decoders,
which can really bulk things up. Then there are the tree-sitter crates that
contain large static grammar tables, adding significant size. The starlark
crate and tracing-subscriber also contribute to size increases.
With static linking per binary being standard in Rust, it leads to multiple
copies of the same dependencies unless cdylibs are used. That makes the
compile times longer, but using LTO helps reduce bloat somewhat through
deduplication.
Evaluating binary size factors
Having multiple binaries indeed increases the overall size significantly.
I'm considering options like upgrading to "opt-level = 'z'" or using
"strip=debuginfo" for reducing size. It's interesting that while the profile
only sets symbols for stripping, not debuginfo, this could inflate sizes if
retained in release builds.
The distinction between "symbols" and "debuginfo" is critical; "symbols"
keeps debug information which may not align with the goal of minimizing
size. I’d like to verify with the Rust documentation, but my network access
is restricted.
Explaining large binary sizes
I’m analyzing why binaries in this project are so large. The primary reasons
include monolithic static linking, where each binary includes the full
dependency graph without shared libraries. Heavy dependencies such as reqwest,
hyper, and TLS components also contribute significantly to size, along with
image decoders and other libraries.
Using MUSL targets means vendored OpenSSL can drastically increase the
size due to static linking. Furthermore, if the release profile keeps debug
information due to using "strip = symbols," that can lead to larger binaries
as well. It’s a mix of several factors, including panic strategies and
platform-specific linking behavior.
Identifying binary size contributors
I’m considering why binaries are still large even without static linking. The
tracing-subscriber crate potentially adds weight because it includes regex,
though it can sometimes use a lighter version. References from files like
"core/Cargo.toml" show dependencies like reqwest and tokio, while the tui uses
the image crate.
To present this clearly, I’ll format the final answer with two main sections:
"Main Causes" and "Build-Mode Notes." I can also include brief suggestions for
reducing size, but I want to stay focused on answering the user's question.

• Here’s what’s driving size in this workspace’s binaries.
Main Causes
- Static linking style: Each bin (codex, codex-tui, codex-exec, codex-mcp-
server, etc.) statically links its full dependency graph, so common code isn’t
shared at runtime across executables.
- Heavy deps (HTTP/TLS): reqwest brings in Hyper, HTTP/2, compressors,
and a TLS stack (rustls by default; OpenSSL on musl). In core, login, tui,
and ollama you enable reqwest with json/stream, which still pulls a large
transitive set.
- Image/terminal stack: codex-tui includes image (with jpeg), ratatui,
crossterm, and ratatui-image, which together contribute significant code size
(decoders, pixel ops, terminal backends).
- Parsers/VMs: tree-sitter + tree-sitter-bash (in core and apply-patch) and
starlark (in execpolicy) include sizeable parser/VM tables and runtimes.
- Tokio runtime: Broad tokio features (rt-multi-thread, macros, process,
signal) across many crates inflate code size even if only subsets are used
per bin.
- Panic + backtraces: Default panic = unwind and backtrace support keep
unwinding tables and symbols that add weight.
- Per-target OpenSSL (musl): For *-unknown-linux-musl, core enables openssl-
sys with vendored, compiling OpenSSL into the binary—this adds multiple
megabytes per executable.
Build-Mode Notes
- Release settings: You use lto = "fat" and codegen-units = 1 (good for size),
but strip = "symbols" keeps debuginfo. Debuginfo is often the largest single
contributor; if you build in release with that setting, binaries can still
be large.
- Debug builds: cargo build (dev profile) includes full debuginfo, no LTO, and
assertions—outputs are much larger than cargo build --release.
If you want, I can outline targeted trims (e.g., strip = "debuginfo", opt-
level = "z", panic abort, tighter tokio/reqwest features) and estimate impact
per binary.
