Codex Raw is an independent community extension built inside the OpenAI Codex source tree. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or supported by OpenAI.
The first public-ready source snapshot is based on upstream commit
4f6eaf7af9d975b822d1d658ba1893d6d5a87646
from 2026-07-28. The project retains the upstream Apache-2.0 license and
notices. Raw-specific modifications are concentrated in codex-rs/raw-cli,
with the small workspace, launcher, documentation, and automation changes
needed to build and maintain that executable.
- Treat
openai/codexas a read-only upstream. - Integrate upstream changes on a temporary
upgrade/codex-raw-YYYYMMDDbranch. - Review shared manifests and lockfiles instead of resolving them wholesale.
- Run the focused Raw checks on every supported platform before promotion.
- Publish releases only from a reviewed commit on this repository's
mainbranch and tag them ascodex-raw-vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.
Upstream Codex changes and releases are documented in the
official repository. Codex Raw changes are
documented in this repository's CHANGELOG.md.
