Release build for macOS Apple Silicon, based on commit a16413c.

Signing and notarization update — September 16, 2026

Download the -signed.tar.gz archive, SHA256SUMS-signed, and fork-build-signed.json from Assets. All five bundled executables are now signed with Developer ID Application: Misha Kharytonchyk (H8QG3CBM96), with hardened runtime and secure timestamps. Signature verification, archive extraction, and launcher version checks passed. The source commit and functionality are unchanged. Notarized by Apple: Accepted, submission c55dfb16-0c3e-47d6-8f84-3d6eb13d39b0. All five executables passed codesign --verify --strict --check-notarization. See notarization-apple.json in Assets. The existing signed archive is unchanged: its binaries are now covered by Apple's online notarization tickets. A Mac needs access to Apple's service on first launch. The notarized: false field in the original build manifest records the pre-submission state; the Apple report is the current notarization result. Original ad-hoc assets remain available for reference.

BUSY Bar controls

Use with BUSY Codex at commit 768f944 or later.

  • Click Crown to open the model picker, rotate to browse, then click again to apply and return to effort control. Browsing does not change settings.
  • Rotate Crown outside the picker to change reasoning effort.
  • Press START to toggle Fast mode.
  • The native CLI endpoint supports model/set, effort/set, and fast/set, and advertises available models in its status snapshot.
  • Changes require the focused, ready task and backend confirmation. They preserve Plan mode, do not send prompts, and do not write global model defaults.

Restart existing CLI processes after updating. A running process retains the old protocol even after the executable is replaced. This supersedes the earlier effort-only native-control release.

Run

The signed archive contains the CLI, companion binaries, resources, and launcher. Download all three signed assets before checking the manifest.

shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS-signed
mkdir -p codex-native-model
tar -xzf codex-v0.153.4-fork.1-native-model-aarch64-apple-darwin-signed.tar.gz -C codex-native-model
./codex-native-model/scripts/run-codex-fork.sh

The launcher enables native TUI control. A raw binary requires CODEX_TUI_CONTROL=1.

Original build validation

  • Cargo release profile; stripped packaged binary and verified signature.
  • 4,108 TUI tests passed across the full run and scoped retries; 6 skipped.
  • All 22 scoped checks passed after resolving disk exhaustion and the test color environment, including native model confirmation and Plan/config preservation.
  • BUSY Codex: 193 tests completed; one optional Pillow test skipped.
  • Archive extraction, packaged launcher, and binary checksum verified.

The CLI version string remains 0.153.4-fork.1; the packaged fork-build.json and downloadable fork-build-signed.json identify the signed build and its supported native commands.
