fix: pass correct selected model in ModelOverlay
The ModelOverlay component was incorrectly passing the current model
instead of the newly selected model to its onSelect callback. This
prevented model changes from being applied properly.
The fix ensures that when a user selects a new model, the parent
component receives the correct newly selected model value, allowing
model changes to work as intended.
## Description
This PR addresses the following improvements:
**Unify Prettier Version**: Currently, the Prettier version used in
`/package.json` and `/codex-cli/package.json` are different. In this PR,
we're updating both to use Prettier v3.
- Prettier v3 introduces improved support for JavaScript and TypeScript.
(e.g. the formatting scenario shown in the image below. This is more
aligned with the TypeScript indentation standard).
<img width="1126" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/6e237eb8-4553-4574-b336-ed9561c55370"
/>
**Add Prettier Auto-Formatting in lint-staged**: We've added a step to
automatically run prettier --write on JavaScript and TypeScript files as
part of the lint-staged process, before the ESLint checks.
- This will help ensure that all committed code is properly formatted
according to the project's Prettier configuration.
## Description
When `saveConfig` is called, the project doc is incorrectly saved into
user instructions. This change ensures that only user instructions are
saved to `instructions.md` during saveConfig, preventing data
corruption.

Solves #510
This PR changes the `/bug` command to print the URL into the terminal
(so it works in headless sessions) instead of trying to open a browser.

Up-to-date of #78Fixes#32
addressed requested changes @tibo-openai :) made sense to me
though, previous rationale with passing the state up was assuming there
could be a future need to have a shared state with all available models
being available to the parent
I suspect this is why some contributors kept accidentally including a
new `codex-cli/package-lock.json` in their PRs.
Note the `Dockerfile` still uses `npm` instead of `pnpm`, but that
appears to be fine. (Probably nicer to globally install as few things as
possible in the image.)
This exploration came out of my review of
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/414.
`run_in_container.sh` runs Codex in a Docker container like so:
bd1c3deed9/codex-cli/scripts/run_in_container.sh (L51-L58)
But then runs `init_firewall.sh` to set up the firewall to restrict
network access.
Previously, we did this by adding `/usr/local/bin/init_firewall.sh` to
the container and adding a special rule in `/etc/sudoers.d` so the
unprivileged user (`node`) could run the privileged `init_firewall.sh`
script to open up the firewall for `api.openai.com`:
31d0d7a305/codex-cli/Dockerfile (L51-L56)
Though I believe this is unnecessary, as we can use `docker exec --user
root` from _outside_ the container to run
`/usr/local/bin/init_firewall.sh` as `root` without adding a special
case in `/etc/sudoers.d`.
This appears to work as expected, as I tested it by doing the following:
```
./codex-cli/scripts/build_container.sh
./codex-cli/scripts/run_in_container.sh 'what is the output of `curl https://www.openai.com`'
```
This was a bit funny because in some of my runs, Codex wasn't convinced
it had network access, so I had to convince it to try the `curl`
request:
As you can see, when it ran `curl -s https\://www.openai.com`, it a
connection failure, so the network policy appears to be working as
intended.
Note this PR also removes `sudo` from the `apt-get install` list in the
`Dockerfile`.
## Description
The `as AppConfig` type assertion in the constructor may introduce
potential type safety risks. Removing the assertion and making `notify`
an optional parameter could enhance type robustness and prevent
unexpected runtime errors.
close: #605
When using a non-built-in provider with the `--provider` option, users
are prompted:
```
Set the environment variable <provider>_API_KEY and re-run this command.
You can create a <provider>_API_KEY in the <provider> dashboard.
```
However, many users are confused because, even after correctly setting
`<provider>_API_KEY`, authentication may still fail unless
`OPENAI_API_KEY` is _also_ present in the environment. This is not
intuitive and leads to ambiguity about which API key is actually
required and used as a fallback, especially when using custom or
third-party (non-listed) providers.
Furthermore, the original README/documentation did not mention the
requirement to set `<provider>_BASE_URL` for non-built-in providers,
which is necessary for proper client behavior. This omission made the
configuration process more difficult for users trying to integrate with
custom endpoints.
More of a proposal than anything but models seem to struggle with
composing valid patches for `apply_patch` for context matching when
there are unicode look-a-likes involved. This would normalize them.

thanks unicode.
Updates the error message for missing Gemini API keys to reference
"Google AI Studio" instead of the generic "GEMINI dashboard". This
provides users with more accurate information about where to obtain
their Gemini API keys.
This could be extended to other providers as well.
The current turn input in the agent loop is being discarded before
consuming the stream events which causes the stream reconnect (after
rate limit failure) to not include the inputs. Since the new stream
includes the previous response ID, it triggers a bad request exception
considering the input doesn't match what OpenAI has stored on the server
side and subsequently a very confusing error message of: `No tool output
found for function call call_xyz`.
This should fix https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/586.
## Testing
I have a personal project that I'm working on that runs multiple Codex
CLIs in parallel and often runs into rate limit errors (as seen in the
OpenAI logs). After making this change, I am no longer experiencing
Codex crashing and it was able to retry and handle everything gracefully
until completion (even though I still see rate limiting in the OpenAI
logs).
This fixes https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/480 where the latest
code was crashing when attempting to be run inside docker since the
update checker attempts to reach out to `npm.antfu.dev` but that DNS is
not allowed in the firewall rules.
I believe the original code was attempting to catch and ignore any
errors when checking for updates but was doing so incorrectly. If you
use await on a promise, you have to use a standard try/catch instead of
`Promise.catch` so this fixes that.

Adding support to be able to run other models in quiet mode
ie: `codex --approval-mode full-auto -q "explain the current directory"
--provider xai --model grok-3-beta`
I haven't seen any actual errors due to this, but it's been bothering me
that I had it defaulted to 1. I think best to leave it undefined and
have each provider do their thing
Gemini's API is finicky, it 400's without an error when you pass
content: null
Also fixed the rate limiting issues by throwing outside of the iterator.
I think there's a separate issue with the second isRateLimit check in
agent-loop - turnInput is cleared by that time, so it retries without
the last message.
apply_patch doesn't create parent directories when creating a new file
leading to confusion and flailing by the agent. This will create parent
directories automatically when absent.

## `0.1.2504221401`
### 🚀 Features
- Show actionable errors when api keys are missing (#523)
- Add CLI `--version` flag (#492)
### 🐛 Bug Fixes
- Agent loop for ZDR (`disableResponseStorage`) (#543)
- Fix relative `workdir` check for `apply_patch` (#556)
- Minimal mid-stream #429 retry loop using existing back-off (#506)
- Inconsistent usage of base URL and API key (#507)
- Remove requirement for api key for ollama (#546)
- Support `[provider]_BASE_URL` (#542)
Previously, we were ignoring the `workdir` field in an `ExecInput` when
running it through `canAutoApprove()`. For ordinary `exec()` calls, that
was sufficient, but for `apply_patch`, we need the `workdir` to resolve
relative paths in the `apply_patch` argument so that we can check them
in `isPathConstrainedTowritablePaths()`.
Likewise, we also need the workdir when running `execApplyPatch()`
because the paths need to be resolved again.
Ideally, the `ApplyPatchCommand` returned by `canAutoApprove()` would
not be a simple `patch: string`, but the parsed patch with all of the
paths resolved, in which case `execApplyPatch()` could expect absolute
paths and would not need `workdir`.
Fixes#540
# Skip API key validation for Ollama provider
## Description
This PR modifies the CLI to not require an API key when using Ollama as
the provider
## Changes
- Modified the validation logic to skip API key checks for these
providers
- Updated the README to clarify that Ollama doesn't require an API key
As requested by @tibo-openai at
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/357#issuecomment-2816554203, this
attempts a more minimal implementation of #357 that preserves as much as
possible of the existing code's exponential backoff logic.
Adds a small retry wrapper around the streaming for‑await loop so that
HTTP 429s which occur *after* the stream has started no longer crash the
CLI.
Highlights
• Re‑uses existing RATE_LIMIT_RETRY_WAIT_MS constant and 5‑attempt
limit.
• Exponential back‑off identical to initial request handling.
This comment is probably more useful here in the PR:
// The OpenAI SDK may raise a 429 (rate‑limit) *after* the stream has
// started. Prior logic already retries the initial `responses.create`
// call, but we need to add equivalent resilience for mid‑stream
// failures. We keep the implementation minimal by wrapping the
// existing `for‑await` loop in a small retry‑for‑loop that re‑creates
// the stream with exponential back‑off.
A recent commit introduced the ability to use third-party model
providers. (Really appreciate it!)
However, the usage is inconsistent: some pieces of code use the custom
providers, whereas others still have the old behavior. Additionally,
`OPENAI_BASE_URL` is now being disregarded when it shouldn't be.
This PR normalizes the usage to `getApiKey` and `getBaseUrl`, and
enables the use of `OPENAI_BASE_URL` if present.

Without this I get an issue running codex it in a docker container. I
receive:
```
{
"answer": "{\"role\":\"user\",\"content\":[{\"type\":\"input_text\",\"text\":\"\\\"Say hello world\\\"\"}],\"type\":\"message\"}\n{\"id\":\"error-1745325184914\",\"type\":\"message\",\"role\":\"system\",\"content\":[{\"type\":\"input_text\",\"text\":\"⚠️ OpenAI rejected the request (request ID: req_f9027b59ebbce00061e9cd2dbb2d529a). Error details: Status: 400, Code: invalid_function_parameters, Type: invalid_request_error, Message: 400 Invalid schema for function 'shell': In context=(), 'required' is required to be supplied and to be an array including every key in properties. Missing 'workdir'.. Please verify your settings and try again.\"}]}\n"
}
```
This fix makes it work.
I saw cases where the first chunk of output from `ls -R` could be large
enough to exceed `MAX_OUTPUT_BYTES` or `MAX_OUTPUT_LINES`, in which case
the loop would exit early in `createTruncatingCollector()` such that
nothing was appended to the `chunks` array. As a result, the reported
`stdout` of `ls -R` would be empty.
I asked Codex to add logic to handle this edge case and write a unit
test. I used this as my test:
```
./codex-cli/dist/cli.js -q 'what is the output of `ls -R`'
```
now it appears to include a ton of stuff whereas before this change, I
saw:
```
{"type":"function_call_output","call_id":"call_a2QhVt7HRJYKjb3dIc8w1aBB","output":"{\"output\":\"\\n\\n[Output truncated: too many lines or bytes]\",\"metadata\":{\"exit_code\":0,\"duration_seconds\":0.5}}"}
```

Publish shouldn't need the source files published along with the
distributable bin.
`src` is being shipped to the registry rn:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/@openai/codex?activeTab=code
You can verify that the src is not needed by packing the project
manually after removing src from the files:
```sh
# from the codex-cli dir
rm -rf dist # just for hygiene
pnpm run build
pnpm pack
mkdir /tmp/codex-tar-test
mv openai-codex-0.1.2504181820.tgz /tmp/codex-tar-test
cd /tmp/codex-tar-test
pnpm init
pnpm add ./openai-codex-0.1.2504181820.tgz /tmp/codex-tar-test
pnpm exec codex --full-auto "run a bash -c command to echo hello world"
```
