Summary
Codex Desktop already has macOS and Windows launch paths in the CLI, but Linux builds do not expose
codex appat all. This change adds the Linux CLI surface so a Linux user can launch an installed Codex Desktop app from the same command shape used on the other desktop platforms.The Linux path searches standard XDG application directories for a desktop entry named
Codex, opens the requested workspace throughgio launch, and supports--download-urlas an explicit installer handoff when the app is not installed yet. When no installed app or installer URL is available, it returns a direct error instead of silently doing nothing.Why
The Electron desktop app already has Linux build support, but the CLI still treated Linux as if no desktop app existed. Exposing the launcher is the first step toward making Linux a normal desktop target rather than a build-only target.
Testing
Tests: targeted Rust unit tests for Linux desktop-file detection and a focused
codex-clitest run.
