## Summary - build, strip, sign, and publish `codex-code-mode-host` with the primary Codex release binaries on Linux, macOS, and Windows - place the host beside `codex[.exe]` in canonical package archives, macOS DMGs, and the legacy Linux bundle so the runtime's sibling lookup succeeds - preserve and validate the host through standalone installers and Python runtime wheel staging - add package-builder coverage for source selection and the resulting package layout ## Why The process-owned code-mode client launches `codex-code-mode-host` as a sibling of the running Codex executable. Release artifacts currently build and bundle `codex` without that host, so code mode cannot start from installed packages.

# Codex package builder
|
|
|
|
This package contains the implementation behind `scripts/build_codex_package.py`.
|
|
The top-level script is the stable executable entry point; these modules keep the
|
|
package-building logic split by responsibility.
|
|
|
|
The builder creates a canonical Codex package directory:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
.
|
|
├── codex-package.json
|
|
├── bin
|
|
│ ├── <entrypoint>[.exe]
|
|
│ └── codex-code-mode-host[.exe]
|
|
├── codex-resources
|
|
│ ├── bwrap # Linux only
|
|
│ ├── zsh/bin/zsh # supported Unix targets only
|
|
│ ├── codex-command-runner.exe # Windows only
|
|
│ └── codex-windows-sandbox-setup.exe # Windows only
|
|
└── codex-path
|
|
└── rg[.exe]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The package directory is the primary artifact. Archive formats such as
|
|
`.tar.gz`, `.tar.zst`, and `.zip` are serializations of that directory.
|
|
|
|
If `--target` is omitted, the builder uses the release target for the current
|
|
host platform. On Linux, that default is a musl target to match Codex release
|
|
artifacts; pass a GNU Linux target explicitly for native glibc local builds. If
|
|
`--package-dir` is omitted, the builder creates a new temporary directory and
|
|
prints its path after the package is built.
|
|
|
|
The `--variant` flag selects the package entrypoint. Supported variants are
|
|
`codex` and `codex-app-server`. The `version` field in `codex-package.json` is
|
|
read from `[workspace.package].version` in `codex-rs/Cargo.toml`.
|
|
|
|
## Source-built artifacts
|
|
|
|
Artifacts built from this repository are built by the package builder in one
|
|
grouped `cargo build` command per package when they are needed and no prebuilt
|
|
override was provided:
|
|
|
|
- all targets: the selected entrypoint, unless `--entrypoint-bin` is provided
|
|
- all targets: `codex-code-mode-host`, unless `--code-mode-host-bin` is provided
|
|
- Linux targets: `bwrap`, unless `--bwrap-bin` is provided
|
|
- Windows targets: `codex-command-runner` and `codex-windows-sandbox-setup`,
|
|
unless the corresponding prebuilt helper flags are provided
|
|
|
|
The default cargo profile is `dev-small` because local iteration should favor
|
|
fast, small builds. Release jobs should pass `--cargo-profile release` and an
|
|
explicit target. Release jobs that already built and signed/notarized the
|
|
entrypoint should pass `--entrypoint-bin` so the package contains that exact
|
|
binary instead of rebuilding it.
|
|
|
|
Release jobs should likewise pass `--code-mode-host-bin` so the package contains
|
|
the signed host executable beside the signed entrypoint.
|
|
|
|
Release jobs that already built package resource binaries should also pass the
|
|
corresponding resource flags: `--bwrap-bin` for Linux packages, and
|
|
`--codex-command-runner-bin` plus `--codex-windows-sandbox-setup-bin` for
|
|
Windows packages. This keeps package archive creation as a pure staging step
|
|
after signing instead of rebuilding resources.
|
|
|
|
When the builder source-builds an entrypoint for a Darwin or Linux target, it
|
|
downloads and verifies the matching Codex-built V8 release pair before invoking
|
|
Cargo and sets `RUSTY_V8_ARCHIVE` plus `RUSTY_V8_SRC_BINDING_PATH` for that
|
|
build. Windows targets keep Cargo's release-build MSVC artifact path. Explicit
|
|
overrides remain authoritative when both variables are already set. Set
|
|
`V8_FROM_SOURCE=1` to leave the build with the `v8` crate source-build path.
|
|
|
|
`rg` is not built from this repository, so the builder fetches it from the
|
|
DotSlash manifest at `scripts/codex_package/rg`. Downloaded archives are cached
|
|
under `$TMPDIR/codex-package/<target>-rg` and are reused only after the recorded
|
|
size and SHA-256 digest have been verified. Pass `--rg-bin` to use a local
|
|
ripgrep executable instead.
|
|
|
|
The patched zsh fork used by `shell_zsh_fork` is fetched from the DotSlash
|
|
manifest at `scripts/codex_package/codex-zsh` when the selected target has a
|
|
matching prebuilt artifact. Downloaded archives are cached under
|
|
`$TMPDIR/codex-package/<target>-zsh` and installed at
|
|
`codex-resources/zsh/bin/zsh`. Pass `--zsh-manifest` to use a different
|
|
DotSlash manifest, such as the manifest published with a standalone zsh
|
|
artifact release.
