codex-enhanced

Codex Enhanced is a fork of OpenAI Codex that functions as an operator-first local coding agent delivered through the command line. It addresses the needs of operators who want visible control surfaces, repeatable automation, and cleaner workflow boundaries instead of hidden scripts and background processes.

The tool provides a terminal user interface that surfaces session operations, account switching, clawbot management, and current-thread actions in one place. Loop automation includes before-turn and after-turn runners that expose queue state, progress, origin markers, and stop behavior directly in the TUI. Three context modes support different automation scenarios: embed mode submits the loop prompt as a normal user turn in the main thread, ephemeral mode runs the prompt in a private hidden thread and discards the context after completion, and persistent mode maintains a retained private rollout refreshed with the latest main-thread messages.

Feishu clawbot integration enables workspace-backed session discovery and binding, caches unread messages before binding, and forwards assistant responses back into the active session. Origin markers label Feishu-originated turns and loop replies in chat transcripts to maintain legibility when mixing automation and remote entry points. Fast respawn capabilities allow session resumption through commands such as /respawn, Ctrl-X R, and SIGUSR1 while preserving the current session and full-access mode when using the --yolo flag.

It is distributed as a CLI tool with installation available via PyPI wheels that bundle platform-specific native codex binaries or through local builds from source. Recent releases have incorporated the codex-clawbot runtime, queue-aware loop scheduling, respawn support, and PyPI packaging for codex-enhanced. The fork stays close to upstream where practical while extending operator-focused features such as control surfaces and visible automation.
