- ```sh
10
- pnpm add -g codex-harness
11
- ```
12
-
13
- Or use `npm install -g codex-harness`. Requires Node.js 22.15+ for the installer
14
- launcher. No Rust, Python, compilation, postinstall script or runtime download.
15
- Only the native package for your OS/CPU is installed. Supports macOS, Linux and
16
- Windows on arm64 and x64. Linux binaries use static musl and work on glibc and
17
- musl distributions. Windows runs natively; WSL is optional.
18
-
19
- Prefer no Node.js at all? Download the matching archive from
20
- [Releases](https://github.com/ErzenXz/codex-harness/releases), verify it against
21
- `SHA256SUMS`, and put the executable on PATH. `ripgrep` is recommended for faster
22
- search; a bounded Rust fallback is built in.

- Open the printed link, enter the code and approve access. Enable device-code
31
- login in ChatGPT security settings if requested. Your plan must allow the model;
32
- subscription limits still apply. No API key is needed for subscription sign-in.
33
-
34
- Defaults use `gpt-6-luna`. To choose reasoning, concurrency or another provider,
35
- copy a [starter configuration](examples/) to a trusted user directory and pass
36
- `--config /absolute/path/config.toml` to **both login and the ACP launcher**.
37
- [API key and provider setup](docs/reference.md#authentication-and-providers).
38
- No configuration is read from the project being edited.

40
- ## Connect your ACP app
23
+ Requires pnpm and Node.js 22.15+. Installs only your platform's native binary, with no
24
+ compilation or install scripts. [Standalone downloads](https://github.com/ErzenXz/codex-harness/releases)
25
+ run without Node.js. Linux uses static musl; Windows runs natively.
41
26
 
42
- Set its agent command to `codex-harness`, with arguments `["--acp"]`. For the
43
- lowest overhead, get the absolute native executable path once:
44
-
45
- ```sh
46
- codex-harness --print-binary-path
47
- ```
48
-
49
- Use that path directly in your app's launcher:
27
+ Set your ACP app's agent command:
50
28
 
51
29
  ```json
52
- {
53
- "command": "/absolute/path/printed/above/codex-harness",
54
- "args": ["--acp"],
55
- "env": {}
56
- }
30
+ { "command": "codex-harness", "args": ["--acp"] }
57
31
  ```
58
32
 
59
- On Windows the path ends in `.exe`. If using a custom config, append
60
- `"--config", "/absolute/path/config.toml"` to `args`. Your ACP app sends prompts
61
- and approvals over stdin/stdout. No files need to be installed in your projects.
33
+ Your app provides the interface; the harness communicates over stdin/stdout.
34
+ Subscription login uses your plan's model access and limits.

+ [Other providers and API keys →](https://github.com/ErzenXz/codex-harness/blob/main/docs/reference.md#authentication-and-providers)
62
36
 
63
- A blank terminal is normal if you run the harness yourself: it waits for ACP
64
- messages. There is no terminal chat, web server or status banner. Closed stdin
65
- shuts it down. On macOS/Linux the npm launcher replaces itself with Rust using
66
- Node's `execve` where available; Windows uses a child process. Direct native
67
- launch avoids Node startup on every platform.

71
- - One current-thread async runtime, pooled HTTP and lazy shared MCP connections.
72
- - In-place streamed tool arguments and SSE fragments; no repeated whole-buffer
73
- copies. JSON budget checks count bytes without allocating another JSON buffer.
74
- - Whole-turn history eviction, bounded files/streams/tool output, backpressure,
75
- explicit concurrency caps and session unloading.
76
- - No telemetry, background updater, daemon or bundled browser/model/runtime.
77
- - Permission-gated edits/shell/MCP tools, plan mode, subagent roles, cancellation,
78
- persistence and observed provider usage reporting stay available.

- Performance figures and reproducible tests live in
81
- [Performance](docs/performance.md). These measure local overhead; model inference,
82
- provider limits and workload determine end-to-end agent performance.
48
+ Size and streaming comparisons use the original `6f55af7` baseline. Streaming
49
+ measures accumulation of 8,000 × 32-byte argument fragments; model latency is
50
+ excluded. Memory and timings vary by workload.

- Native desktop control requires Linux X11 and is disabled by default. For macOS
85
- and Windows desktop/browser control, connect a trusted MCP server. Approved shell,
86
- MCP and desktop tools can access the host; they are **not an OS sandbox**.
87
- Credentials are stored unencrypted in private local state. See
88
- [Security and limits](docs/reference.md#safety-boundaries).
53
+ ## Built to stay light
89
54
 
90
- ## Update, remove, build
55
+ One async event-loop thread, shared HTTP connections, lazy MCP connections and
56
+ bounded history, files and tool output. No telemetry, daemon, updater or bundled
57
+ browser/model.

- ```sh
93
- pnpm add -g codex-harness@latest
94
- codex-harness logout
95
- pnpm remove -g codex-harness
96
- ```
97
-
98
- Restart your ACP agent after updating. If you launch the printed native path,
99
- refresh that path after updating. Logout removes local login credentials; retained
100
- conversations remain in the state directory. On Unix state defaults to
101
- `$XDG_STATE_HOME/codex-harness` or `~/.local/state/codex-harness`; on Windows it is
102
- `%LOCALAPPDATA%\codex-harness`. `CODEX_HARNESS_STATE_DIR` overrides it.
59
+ Streaming, file/search tools, MCP, subagents, background jobs, persistent sessions,
60
+ cancellation and permission controls are built in.
103
61
 
104
- Source install (Rust 1.88+ and your OS build tools required):
62
+ For the lowest launch overhead, run `codex-harness --print-binary-path` and use
63
+ that executable directly in your ACP app. On macOS/Linux the standard launcher
64
+ replaces Node with Rust where `execve` is available; Windows keeps a forwarding
65
+ process until you use the native path.
105
66
 
106
- ```sh
107
- cargo install --git https://github.com/ErzenXz/codex-harness --tag v0.2.0 --locked
108
- ```
67
+ Approved tools can access your host. Native desktop control is optional and
68
+ requires Linux X11; macOS/Windows computer use works through MCP. See
69
+ [security and limits](https://github.com/ErzenXz/codex-harness/blob/main/docs/reference.md#safety-boundaries).
109
70
 
110
- Missing platform package? Reinstall with optional dependencies enabled; do not
111
- use `--no-optional` or `--omit=optional`. There is no fallback network download.
