What issue are you seeing?

The codex-cli and the Codex VS Code extension being open source is hugely appreciated. It’s rare and helpful to see how a production-grade coding agent is built and shipped at scale. I noticed the updated contribution guide limits PRs from outside OpenAI, but the ability to read the code and join the discussion is still incredibly valuable.

Personally, I love using the Rust-written codex-cli, and I really appreciate the Codex team’s technical taste. At the same time, the real moat is the GPT model itself. Open-sourcing more of the agent/UI layer wouldn’t meaningfully undermine OpenAI’s competitiveness, if anything, it could bring more community feedback and faster iteration.

With that in mind, would you consider open-sourcing the Codex App as well? From the outside, it's just a Electron codex-cli wrapper, and open-sourcing it would offer the same kind of learning and community feedback.
