Unofficial Codex fork release for macOS Apple Silicon, with native BUSY Bar effort control.

Changes

  • The BUSY Bar dial changes effort in the focused CLI session through a native, versioned Unix-socket API.
  • Changes are confirmed by Codex settings events, preserve Plan mode and the selected model, and apply to subsequent turns.
  • Works immediately after startup without an initial keypress, recovers request outcomes after reconnecting, and rejects stale task targets.
  • The included launcher enables native control by default. Set CODEX_TUI_CONTROL=0 to disable it; direct use of bin/codex requires CODEX_TUI_CONTROL=1 to enable it.
  • Retains the MCP Apps browser bridge and proxy-aware launcher. Source builds default to one Cargo job to reduce concurrent compilation load.

Download and run

Use codex-package-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz for the complete package: CLI, launcher, code-mode host, Responses API proxy, ripgrep, and zsh resources. The standalone CLI archive is also available.

mkdir codex-native-control
tar -xzf codex-package-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz -C codex-native-control
./codex-native-control/scripts/run-codex-fork.sh --version
./codex-native-control/scripts/run-codex-fork.sh

Verify downloads using shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS. The manifest covers both archives and fork-build.json; download all three to check the complete manifest. Existing CLI sessions need one restart. BUSY Bar integration requires busy-codex b47fdaa or later, distributed separately.

Build and validation

  • Source: 5470d8c42f32d8c740d0d1b503f8b34676573aee on codex/native-tui-control.
  • Platform: aarch64-apple-darwin; optimized Cargo release profile.
  • Binary version remains codex-cli 0.153.4-fork.1. This release tag and fork-build.json identify the native-control build.
  • CLI is ad-hoc signed, not Developer ID signed or notarized by Apple. Bundled helper binaries are retained from the matching base fork package.
  • Validation: 118 Python tests; native socket/startup regression tests; reviewed TUI snapshot coverage; live release checks for supported effort levels, Plan mode, focus loss, request recovery, and task switches, including fresh startup without a keypress.
  • Archive extraction, launcher execution, CLI signature, and SHA-256 checksums verified locally.

This is a personal fork build, not an official OpenAI release.
