## Why Codex telemetry pipeline needs a per-request TTFT value. The existing `codex.turn_ttft` is recorded once per turn, so it cannot represent later inference requests in the same turn and can miss the beginning of hidden reasoning. This restores the low-volume per-request signal proposed in https://github.com/bk-nvidia/codex/pull/3 without bringing back per-WebSocket-event TRACE logging. ## What changed - start a timer when each mapped Responses stream begins - latch the timer on the first `response.output_item.added`, including an empty hidden-reasoning item - attach `ttft_ms` to the existing `codex.sse_event` / `response.completed` telemetry record - cover the new completion field with an integration test ## Semantics The value is per inference request, not per turn. It measures mapped-stream-to-first-output-item latency, matching the customer-proposed metric. For HTTP, the stream is already established before timing begins, so request setup and response-header latency are excluded. `response.output_item.added` is a client-visible proxy for the start of hidden reasoning; this does not claim access to the server's internal first raw-token timestamp. ## Validation - `just test -p codex-otel` (47 passed) - `just test -p codex-core process_sse_emits_completed_telemetry` (1 passed after the final timer-placement change) - attempted `just test -p codex-core`: 2,855 passed and 53 failed because of unrelated local-environment failures (missing `test_stdio_server` fixture binary, shell startup noise, and timing-sensitive tests); the focused telemetry test passed in that run as well
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.
