The build for `v0.37.0-alpha.3` failed on the `Create GitHub Release` step: https://github.com/openai/codex/actions/runs/17786866086/job/50556513221 with: ``` ⚠️ GitHub release failed with status: 403 {"message":"Resource not accessible by integration","documentation_url":"https://docs.github.com/rest/releases/releases#create-a-release","status":"403"} Skip retry — your GitHub token/PAT does not have the required permission to create a release ``` I believe I should have not introduced a top-level `permissions` for the workflow in https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/3431 because that affected the `permissions` for each job in the workflow. This PR introduces `publish-npm` as its own job, which allows us to: - consolidate all the Node.js-related steps required for publishing - limit the reach of the `id-token: write` permission - skip it altogether if is an alpha build With this PR, each of `release`, `publish-npm`, and `update-branch` has an explicit `permissions` block.

Quickstart
Installing and running Codex CLI
Install globally with your preferred package manager. If you use npm:
npm install -g @openai/codex
Alternatively, if you use Homebrew:
brew install codex
Then simply run codex to get started:
codex
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.
