## Summary - sanitize Claude-derived fallback titles without changing explicit custom or generated source titles - recognize known leading control wrappers, including `ide_opened_file`, `ide_selection`, `local-command-stdout`, and `local-command-stderr` - skip separate control-only user records and use the next meaningful user message as the fallback title - use `Imported session` only when every user record is control-only - preserve raw imported messages, previews, and transcript provenance unchanged ## Why Sessions without an explicit source title fall back to user-message content. Claude metadata can arrive as separate leading user records, so stripping only the first record still exposed raw control markup or produced an unhelpful fallback. ## Impact Imported chats now receive readable fallback titles such as `Fix auth flow`, while the original wrapper-bearing messages remain visible in the imported transcript. ## Validation - `just test -p codex-external-agent-sessions` — 37 tests passed - `just test -p codex-app-server external_agent_config_import_creates_session_rollouts` — focused integration test passed - `just fix -p codex-external-agent-sessions` - `just fix -p codex-app-server` - `just bazel-lock-check` - `just fmt`
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.
