Codex Non-Interactive Mode

中文 | English

Summary

This source defines codex exec as the scriptable surface for Codex: it narrows interactive behavior into a pipeline-friendly command that can stream events, enforce output schemas, resume sessions, and run under explicit permission boundaries.

Key Contributions

• Defines when codex exec belongs in CI, scheduled jobs, and shell pipelines.
• Documents JSONL output, schema-constrained final responses, and resumable non-interactive sessions.
• Connects permission choices directly to automation safety.
• Preserves Git-repository checks as a guardrail against destructive operation in the wrong directory.

Strongest Claims

• The non-interactive surface should stay narrow and deterministic enough for scripts to consume.
• Automation should default to the least permissions needed and preserve machine-readable evidence.
• CI auth should prefer explicit API keys unless there is a concrete reason to reuse interactive account auth.
