remote-tests

A guide for running supported Codex integration tests in a separate remote environment, currently on Linux.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start a remote test executor, connect to a Linux development machine, and run tests against a matching code checkout.
Why use it?
It helps test code in a remote container when the local machine is not the required environment.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

remote-tests scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Some codex integration tests support a running against a remote executor. This means that when CODEX_TEST_REMOTE_ENV environment variable is set they will attempt to start an executor process in a docker container CODEX_TEST_REMOTE_ENV points to and use it in tests.

Docker container is built and initialized via ./scripts/test-remote-env.sh

Currently running remote tests is only supported on Linux, so you need to use a devbox to run them

You can list devboxes via applied_devbox ls, pick the one with codex in the name. Connect to devbox via ssh <devbox_name>. Reuse the same checkout of codex in ~/code/codex. Reset files if needed. Multiple checkouts take longer to build and take up more space. Check whether the SHA and modified files are in sync between remote and local.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
