## What changed - Include `codex-exec-server` in canonical CLI and app-server packages and advertise its path through `execServer` in `codex-package.json`. - Build and sign the executor in release workflows, preserve signed prebuilt inputs, and verify packaged signatures. Use empty entitlements for the macOS executor. - Have installers check for the executor when package metadata advertises it, while continuing to accept older packages. - Omit the standalone executor and its manifest entry from npm packages to stay within npm's package size limit. Keep `codex exec-server` and its runtime helpers available. ## Testing Add package smoke tests for executor initialization, version reporting, filesystem and process sandbox enforcement, and invalid-argument/configuration parity with `codex exec-server`. Extend archive, npm staging, and macOS signing tests to cover executor contents, executable permissions, preserved bytes, and entitlement verification.

npm releases
Use the staging helper in the repo root to generate npm tarballs for a release. For
example, to stage the CLI, responses proxy, and SDK packages for version 0.6.0:
./scripts/stage_npm_packages.py \
--release-version 0.6.0 \
--package codex \
--package codex-responses-api-proxy \
--package codex-sdk
This downloads the required native package archive artifacts, hydrates vendor/ for
each package, and writes tarballs to dist/npm/.
When --package codex is provided, the staging helper builds the lightweight
@openai/codex meta package plus all platform-native @openai/codex variants
that are later published under platform-specific dist-tags.
The npm variants omit the standalone codex-exec-server executable and its
execServer manifest entry to keep uploads within npm's package size limit.
They retain codex exec-server through the CLI, the code-mode host, and the
platform sandbox helpers. Canonical release archives retain the standalone
executor; npm staging changes only the package copy.
Direct build_npm_package.py invocations are still useful for package-specific
debugging, but native packages expect --vendor-src to point at a prehydrated
vendor/ tree. Release packaging should use scripts/stage_npm_packages.py
