## Why #31323 introduces `codex-http-client` and leaves compatibility re-exports in `codex-client`. Low-level HTTP consumers should depend on the crate that now owns those APIs rather than continuing through the transitional compatibility layer. This stacked follow-up makes that ownership explicit and moves the repository toward enforcing the abstraction without mixing call-site churn into the extraction itself. ## What changed - Switched `codex-backend-client`, `codex-cloud-tasks`, `codex-exec-server`, `codex-login`, and `codex-model-provider` from `codex-client` to `codex-http-client` where they only use low-level HTTP APIs. - Added the direct dependency to `codex-api` for its custom-CA request and websocket paths while retaining `codex-client` for higher-level retry and transport policy. - Updated imports and normalized login's internal client type name from `CodexHttpClient` to `HttpClient`, while preserving its existing `CodexRequestBuilder` re-export. - Updated `Cargo.lock` to reflect the new direct dependency edges. ## Review guide This PR is intentionally mechanical: 20 files and 92 changed lines, with no runtime logic changes. The largest diff is `codex-rs/login/src/auth/default_client.rs`, where the only semantic-looking changes are type and import renames. The remaining source changes replace `codex_client` import paths with `codex_http_client`; the manifest and lockfile changes mirror those imports. ## Test plan - Compile-checked `codex-api`, `codex-backend-client`, `codex-cloud-tasks`, `codex-exec-server`, `codex-login`, and `codex-model-provider` together.
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
Run the following on Mac or Linux to install Codex CLI:
curl -fsSL https://chatgpt.com/codex/install.sh | sh
Run the following on Windows to install Codex CLI:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://chatgpt.com/codex/install.ps1 | iex"
Codex CLI can also be installed via the following package managers:
# 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.
