Wires the OpenAI Codex CLI / Python SDK (codex_app_server) into Studio
as a new chat provider type. Hosts that don't have the CLI or the SDK
installed never see the entry; on logged-out hosts the provider config
dialog renders a device-auth Sign-in button that surfaces the
verification URL and streams CLI progress back over SSE.
Backend
- new core/inference/codex_availability.py probes the CLI + SDK and
reports {installed, logged_in, version, supported_models}; it never
imports codex_app_server at module top level so the rest of the
backend keeps starting cleanly on hosts that don't have the SDK.
- new core/inference/codex_provider.py wraps AsyncCodex and translates
Codex events into OpenAI chat-completion chunks. Supports the
thread.run_streaming path with a non-streaming fallback for older
SDK revs.
- parallel_calls > 1 fans the turn out across N tasks (capped at 20)
via asyncio.gather and emits codex_tab_open / codex_tab_chunk /
codex_tab_close tool-events per attempt plus a final codex_gather
synthesis event. A separate standalone Codex call produces the
unified answer.
- new routes/codex.py exposes GET /api/codex/status and POST
/api/codex/login. The login route shells out to
codex auth login --device-auth and streams events; the first event
carries the verification URL so the frontend can window.open it.
- ChatCompletionRequest gains a parallel_calls field bounded [1, 20]
by pydantic. The codex registry entry stays hidden by default; the
/api/codex/status probe is the authoritative gate.
- routes/inference.py dispatches provider_type=codex through the
local CLI/SDK pipeline instead of the standard HTTP client, with
graceful error surfacing for CodexUnavailableError.
Frontend
- new api/codex-api.ts exposes fetchCodexStatus() and an async
generator streamCodexDeviceLogin() that drives the SSE stream and
yields parsed events.
- new components/codex-parallel-tabs.tsx renders the tabbed parallel-
calls UI with a Synthesis tab highlighted once the codex_gather
event arrives. Pure reducer keeps the state transitions unit-
testable.
- new components/codex-login-button.tsx posts to /api/codex/login,
opens the verification URL in a new tab via window.open, and shows
the streamed CLI log as it lands.
- external-providers.ts exports CODEX_PROVIDER_TYPE,
CODEX_MAX_PARALLEL_CALLS, isCodexProviderType, and
clampCodexParallelCalls. Codex is marked text-only so the composer
hides image-attach affordances when selected.
Tests
- tests/test_codex_provider.py (14 cases) covers the availability
probe across the four install / login states, the streaming +
parallel-calls translation against a fake codex_app_server module
injected into sys.modules, the [1, 20] pydantic clamp, the
CodexUnavailableError surfacing path, and the parallel_calls=1
single-call shape (no tab tool-events).
