Michael Bolin 7a3eec6fdb core: cut codex-core compile time 48% with native async SessionTask (#16631)
## Why

This continues the compile-time cleanup from #16630. `SessionTask`
implementations are monomorphized, but `Session` stores the task behind
a `dyn` boundary so it can drive and abort heterogenous turn tasks
uniformly. That means we can move the `#[async_trait]` expansion off the
implementation trait, keep a small boxed adapter only at the storage
boundary, and preserve the existing task lifecycle semantics while
reducing the amount of generated async-trait glue in `codex-core`.

One measurement caveat showed up while exploring this: a warm
incremental benchmark based on `touch core/src/tasks/mod.rs && cargo
check -p codex-core --lib` was basically flat, but that was the wrong
benchmark for this change. Using package-clean `codex-core` rebuilds,
like #16630, shows the real win.

Relevant pre-change code:

- [`SessionTask` with
`#[async_trait]`](3c7f013f97/codex-rs/core/src/tasks/mod.rs (L129-L182))
- [`RunningTask` storing `Arc<dyn
SessionTask>`](3c7f013f97/codex-rs/core/src/state/turn.rs (L69-L77))

## What changed

- Switched `SessionTask::{run, abort}` to native RPITIT futures with
explicit `Send` bounds.
- Added a private `AnySessionTask` adapter that boxes those futures only
at the `Arc<dyn ...>` storage boundary.
- Updated `RunningTask` to store `Arc<dyn AnySessionTask>` and removed
`#[async_trait]` from the concrete task impls plus test-only
`SessionTask` impls.

## Timing

Benchmarked package-clean `codex-core` rebuilds with dependencies left
warm:

```shell
cargo check -p codex-core --lib >/dev/null
cargo clean -p codex-core >/dev/null
/usr/bin/time -p cargo +nightly rustc -p codex-core --lib -- \
  -Z time-passes \
  -Z time-passes-format=json >/dev/null
```

| revision | rustc `total` | process `real` | `generate_crate_metadata`
| `MIR_borrow_checking` | `monomorphization_collector_graph_walk` |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| parent `3c7f013f9735` | 67.21s | 67.71s | 24.61s | 23.43s | 22.43s |
| this PR `2cafd783ac22` | 35.08s | 35.60s | 8.01s | 7.25s | 7.15s |
| delta | -47.8% | -47.4% | -67.5% | -69.1% | -68.1% |

For completeness, the warm touched-file benchmark stayed flat (`1.96s`
parent vs `1.97s` this PR), which is why that benchmark should not be
used to evaluate this refactor.

## Verification

- Ran `cargo test -p codex-core`; this change compiled and task-related
tests passed before hitting the same unrelated 5
`config::tests::*guardian*` failures already present on the parent
stack.

npm i -g @openai/codex
or brew install --cask codex

Codex CLI is a coding agent from OpenAI that runs locally on your computer.

Codex CLI splash


If you want Codex in your code editor (VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf), install in your IDE.
If you want the desktop app experience, run codex app or visit the Codex App page.
If you are looking for the cloud-based agent from OpenAI, Codex Web, go to chatgpt.com/codex.


Quickstart

Installing and running Codex CLI

Install globally with your preferred package manager:

# Install using npm
npm install -g @openai/codex
# Install using Homebrew
brew install --cask codex

Then simply run codex to get started.

You can also go to the latest GitHub Release and download the appropriate binary for your platform.

Each GitHub Release contains many executables, but in practice, you likely want one of these:

  • macOS
    • Apple Silicon/arm64: codex-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
    • x86_64 (older Mac hardware): codex-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
  • Linux
    • x86_64: codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz
    • arm64: codex-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz

Each archive contains a single entry with the platform baked into the name (e.g., codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl), so you likely want to rename it to codex after extracting it.
