[Codex Thread 019edd6d-6f14-74e2-853c-345d1803d4a6](https://codex-thread-link.openai.chatgpt-team.site/thread/019edd6d-6f14-74e2-853c-345d1803d4a6) ## Stack Review and merge in order. Every layer is independently correct and documents its safe stopping point. 1. [openai/codex#30292](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/30292) — aggregate File/Secrets store locking 2. [openai/codex#30293](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/30293) — resolve and lifecycle-pin the exact OAuth store 3. [openai/codex#30416](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/30416) — serialized authoritative refresh transaction 4. [openai/codex#30294](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/30294) — Codex-owned transport refresh and one-shot 401 recovery 5. [openai/codex#30295](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/30295) — login/logout transaction serialization 6. [openai/codex#30296](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/30296) — diagnostic-only Auto store drift reporting **This PR is layer 2.** ## Why `Auto` is keyring-first with a File fallback, but re-evaluating that policy during transport reconstruction or persistence can make one MCP client read from one store and later write to another. With rotating refresh tokens, the second store may contain an older token. This layer makes the source selected at client startup explicit and keeps that authority stable for the client lifecycle. ## What this PR does - Keeps `resolve_oauth_tokens_from_store_policy` as the single configured-policy entry point and returns both credentials and the concrete File or Keyring source that supplied them. - Puts exact `load`, `save`, and `delete` operations on `ResolvedOAuthCredentialStore`, making “resolve configured policy” and “use the selected authority” distinct at call sites. - Pins the first concrete source in `pinned_credential_store` in the transport recipe, so initialization retries and session reconstruction cannot re-evaluate `Auto` and adopt another store. - Gives `OAuthPersistor` the resolved store and keeps subsequent persistence and removal on that authority. - Uses a typed keyring-load error to distinguish aggregate-store coordination failures from ordinary backend failures; a coordination failure is surfaced instead of triggering File fallback. - Keeps login-time `Auto` behavior unchanged: prefer Keyring, fall back to File when unavailable, and clean up legacy File state after a successful keyring save. - Adds structured server/backend context when fallback cleanup fails. ## Explicit decisions and non-goals - The selection is lifecycle-local and in memory. This PR does not add a durable backend selector, migration, reconciliation registry, or global source of truth outside `CODEX_HOME`. - `Auto` may choose File at the start of a later process if keyring availability changes. Once this client resolves, a selected-store failure is returned instead of hot-switching. - Different `CODEX_HOME` instances remain independent even when they can access the same Direct keyring credential. - Cross-process refresh serialization is intentionally not part of this layer. ## Safe stopping point This PR can merge alone. A single MCP client no longer hot-switches credential stores across transport rebuilds or persistence. Two processes can still refresh the same selected credential concurrently until layer 3. ## Review size The net layer is 9 files, +668/−144. The production change remains focused on store resolution and lifecycle pinning; the largest follow-up is integration coverage that drives real session recovery. ## Validation - `just test -p codex-rmcp-client` (99 passed; 5 expected skips) - Real-client 404 recovery coverage with different Keyring and File tokens; captured bearer headers prove the stale File token is never sent - Mutation check: removing the lifecycle pin makes that integration regression fail by observing the stale File token
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.
