### Phase 7: Build & Release Pipeline
- Updated GitHub Actions workflows for LLMX binary names
- Fixed rust-release.yml to reference llmx-rs/ instead of codex-rs/
- Updated CI/CD pipelines for new package names
- Made Apple code signing optional in release workflow
- Enhanced npm packaging resilience for partial platform builds
- Added Windows sandbox support to workspace
- Updated dotslash configuration for new binary names

### Phase 8: Final Polish
- Renamed all assets (.github images, labels, templates)
- Updated VSCode and DevContainer configurations
- Fixed all clippy warnings and formatting issues
- Applied cargo fmt and prettier formatting across codebase
- Updated issue templates and pull request templates
- Fixed all remaining UI text references

## Technical Details

**Breaking Changes:**
- Binary name changed from `codex` to `llmx`
- Config directory changed from `~/.codex/` to `~/.llmx/`
- Environment variables renamed (CODEX_* → LLMX_*)
- npm package renamed to `@valknar/llmx`

**New Features:**
- Support for 100+ LLM providers via LiteLLM
- Unified authentication with LLMX_API_KEY
- Enhanced model provider detection and handling
- Improved error handling and fallback mechanisms

**Files Changed:**
- 578 files modified across Rust, TypeScript, and documentation
- 30+ Rust crates renamed and updated
- Complete rebrand of UI, CLI, and documentation
- All tests updated and passing

**Dependencies:**
- Updated Cargo.lock with new package names
- Updated npm dependencies in llmx-cli
- Enhanced OpenAPI models for LLMX backend

This release establishes LLMX as a standalone project with comprehensive LiteLLM
integration, maintaining full backward compatibility with existing functionality
while opening support for a wide ecosystem of LLM providers.

## Contributing
This project is under active development and the code will likely change pretty significantly.
**At the moment, we only plan to prioritize reviewing external contributions for bugs or security fixes.**
If you want to add a new feature or change the behavior of an existing one, please open an issue proposing the feature and get approval from an OpenAI team member before spending time building it.
**New contributions that don't go through this process may be closed** if they aren't aligned with our current roadmap or conflict with other priorities/upcoming features.
### Development workflow
- Create a _topic branch_ from `main` - e.g. `feat/interactive-prompt`.
- Keep your changes focused. Multiple unrelated fixes should be opened as separate PRs.
- Ensure your change is free of lint warnings and test failures.
### Writing high-impact code changes
1. **Start with an issue.** Open a new one or comment on an existing discussion so we can agree on the solution before code is written.
2. **Add or update tests.** Every new feature or bug-fix should come with test coverage that fails before your change and passes afterwards. 100% coverage is not required, but aim for meaningful assertions.
3. **Document behaviour.** If your change affects user-facing behaviour, update the README, inline help (`llmx --help`), or relevant example projects.
4. **Keep commits atomic.** Each commit should compile and the tests should pass. This makes reviews and potential rollbacks easier.
### Opening a pull request
- Fill in the PR template (or include similar information) - **What? Why? How?**
- Include a link to a bug report or enhancement request in the issue tracker
- Run **all** checks locally (`cargo test && cargo clippy --tests && cargo fmt -- --config imports_granularity=Item`). CI failures that could have been caught locally slow down the process.
- Make sure your branch is up-to-date with `main` and that you have resolved merge conflicts.
- Mark the PR as **Ready for review** only when you believe it is in a merge-able state.
### Review process
1. One maintainer will be assigned as a primary reviewer.
2. If your PR adds a new feature that was not previously discussed and approved, we may choose to close your PR (see [Contributing](#contributing)).
3. We may ask for changes - please do not take this personally. We value the work, but we also value consistency and long-term maintainability.
4. When there is consensus that the PR meets the bar, a maintainer will squash-and-merge.
### Community values
- **Be kind and inclusive.** Treat others with respect; we follow the [Contributor Covenant](https://www.contributor-covenant.org/).
- **Assume good intent.** Written communication is hard - err on the side of generosity.
- **Teach & learn.** If you spot something confusing, open an issue or PR with improvements.
### Getting help
If you run into problems setting up the project, would like feedback on an idea, or just want to say _hi_ - please open a Discussion or jump into the relevant issue. We are happy to help.
Together we can make LLMX CLI an incredible tool. **Happy hacking!** :rocket:
### Contributor license agreement (CLA)
All contributors **must** accept the CLA. The process is lightweight:
1. Open your pull request.
2. Paste the following comment (or reply `recheck` if you've signed before):
```text
I have read the CLA Document and I hereby sign the CLA
```
3. The CLA-Assistant bot records your signature in the repo and marks the status check as passed.
No special Git commands, email attachments, or commit footers required.
#### Quick fixes
| Scenario | Command |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| Amend last commit | `git commit --amend -s --no-edit && git push -f` |
The **DCO check** blocks merges until every commit in the PR carries the footer (with squash this is just the one).
### Releasing `llmx`
_For admins only._
Make sure you are on `main` and have no local changes. Then run:
```shell
VERSION=0.2.0 # Can also be 0.2.0-alpha.1 or any valid Rust version.
./llmx-rs/scripts/create_github_release.sh "$VERSION"
```
This will make a local commit on top of `main` with `version` set to `$VERSION` in `llmx-rs/Cargo.toml` (note that on `main`, we leave the version as `version = "0.0.0"`).
This will push the commit using the tag `rust-v${VERSION}`, which in turn kicks off [the release workflow](../.github/workflows/rust-release.yml). This will create a new GitHub Release named `$VERSION`.
If everything looks good in the generated GitHub Release, uncheck the **pre-release** box so it is the latest release.
Create a PR to update [`Cask/c/llmx.rb`](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/blob/main/Formula/c/llmx.rb) on Homebrew.
