Plexum ProviderPlugin that wraps the local `codex` CLI binary
(OpenAI Codex CLI ≥ 0.135). Same CLI-driven pattern as
Plexum-gemini-provider and Plexum-anthropic-provider's contractor.
internal/runner/ (~200 LOC):
- Per Plexum turn, fork:
codex exec [resume <thread_id>] \
--skip-git-repo-check \
--dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox \
--json \
[--model <m>] \
"<last user msg>"
in agent workspace, with stdin = /dev/null (codex would otherwise
block waiting for additional input).
- Stream-parses JSONL events:
thread.started → save thread_id to .plexum-codex-session
item.completed → if type==agent_message, emit text_delta
turn.completed → capture usage (input/output/cached/reasoning)
error / turn.failed → emit canonical EventError
- Other event types (turn.started, item.started, reasoning, etc.)
logged at debug, don't produce user-facing events for v1
cmd/plexum-openai-provider-plugin/ implements ProviderPluginWithAgent
(needs AgentContext.Workspace as cwd).
Model surface:
default: ["codex"] (no --model flag → CLI default; only thing
ChatGPT-account installs support)
override via config.supported_models + config.model_args for
API-key installs that want gpt-5 / o3 / etc.
HostConfig (all optional):
binary default "codex" (operator should set abs path for
systemd PATH)
extra_args appended before the prompt
supported_models override the advertised model list
model_args map plexum id → CLI --model value
No api_key field — codex CLI handles auth via ~/.codex/ state
(ChatGPT login OR OPENAI_API_KEY env).
End-to-end verified against local install (ChatGPT login):
1. CLI turn 1: "OpenAI built me."
2. CLI turn 2 (resume): "I said: 'OpenAI built me.'" (multi-turn ✓)
3. Fabric channel e2e: alice → cx agent → codex CLI → outbound REST →
seq=23: "Use list comprehensions for concise, readable filtering and
transformation of iterables."
Known: when daemon runs under systemd PATH doesn't include nvm/local
bin dirs; operator must set absolute binary path in config.json.

Plexum-openai-provider
Plexum ProviderPlugin that wraps the local codex CLI binary (OpenAI
Codex CLI ≥ 0.135). Same CLI-driven pattern as Plexum-gemini-provider
and Plexum-anthropic-provider's contractor mode.
Status
v0.1: subprocess-per-turn, JSONL stream parsing, per-workspace
session continuity via codex exec resume <thread_id>. Single model
codex advertised by default; operator can override.
Auth
No API key in this plugin's config. The codex CLI handles auth via
~/.codex/ (ChatGPT login OR OPENAI_API_KEY). Run codex login
once (or set env) and this plugin just shells out.
Install
cd ~/Plexum-openai-provider
./scripts/install.sh
Operator notes in ~/.plexum/plugins/plexum-openai-provider/config.json:
{
"binary": "/home/<you>/.local/bin/codex",
"extra_args": []
}
(absolute path is required when the daemon runs under systemd — systemd doesn't inherit shell PATH).
Then .plugins.allow += ["plexum-openai-provider"] and:
plexum agent-add --model codex my-agent
systemctl --user restart plexum
plexum say --agent-id my-agent --session-id $(plexum new-session --agent-id my-agent) "hello"
How it works
Per Plexum turn:
codex exec [resume <thread_id>] \
--skip-git-repo-check \
--dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox \
--json \
[--model <m>] \
"<last user message>"
cwd = <agent workspace>, stdin = /dev/null (codex would otherwise
hang waiting for additional input). Codex emits JSONL:
{"type":"thread.started","thread_id":"..."}
{"type":"turn.started"}
{"type":"item.completed","item":{"id":"...","type":"agent_message","text":"..."}}
{"type":"turn.completed","usage":{"input_tokens":...,...}}
thread.started.thread_id is captured into
<workspace>/.plexum-codex-session so the next turn passes
exec resume <id> instead of exec. item.completed of type
agent_message becomes text_delta; turn.completed.usage populates
the canonical Usage on message_end.
ChatGPT account vs API key
ChatGPT-account installs only support the default model; explicit
--model gpt-5-codex etc. returns 400 invalid_request_error. With
an API key install, operator can declare more model ids via
config.supported_models + config.model_args.
