Add AGENT=codex environment variable to UNIFIED_EXEC_ENV #13416

What variant of Codex are you using?
CLI (codex-rs)

What feature would you like to see?

Add AGENT=codex to the UNIFIED_EXEC_ENV array in codex-rs/core/src/unified_exec/process_manager.rs, so that spawned processes can detect they are running inside the Codex agent.

Other AI coding agents already follow this convention:

• Goose sets AGENT=goose
• Amp sets AGENT=amp

This allows downstream tools, scripts, and MCP servers to detect which agent is driving them and adapt behavior accordingly (e.g., adjusting output format, disabling interactive prompts, or collecting telemetry).

Proposed diff:

-const UNIFIED_EXEC_ENV: [(&str, &str); 10] = [

     ("GIT_PAGER", "cat"),
     ("GH_PAGER", "cat"),
     ("CODEX_CI", "1"),
+    ("AGENT", "codex"),
 ];

The test unified_exec_env_injects_defaults also needs the new entry added to the expected HashMap.

Additional information

A working implementation with passing tests is available at: https://github.com/sw-square/codex/tree/add-agent-env-var

All existing process_manager unit tests pass and cargo clippy is clean.
