osFoundry lets Codex CLI run as a worker on a user's Mac via ChatGPT login

A desktop agent in the osFoundry app can use Codex CLI as its model, launching codex exec on the user's Mac under their existing ChatGPT login. Work runs inside a folder the user has authorized, and Codex's reasoning, commands, and final message appear as lines in the osFoundry run. No OpenAI API key is involved, since the app strips API-key and base-URL variables from the child process so the run stays on the subscription, and cost is recorded as zero. Tools such as memory search are served through a loopback MCP bridge, and only when a git worktree isolates the run. Setup involves installing Codex CLI, logging in once, selecting the agent in the External AI settings, and choosing a folder for it to work in.
