New Features
- Remote executors now use authenticated, end-to-end encrypted Noise relay channels.
- Cross-platform remote execution now preserves executor-native working directories and shells, including filesystem permission paths across app-server and exec-server boundaries.
- Selected executor plugins can activate their stdio MCP servers per thread; plugin discovery also adds a created-by-me marketplace and auth-specific curated catalogs.
- App-server clients can list immediate child threads, correlate external-agent imports with detailed results, and read or redeem rate-limit reset credits.
- Realtime clients can explicitly append speech, control how Codex responses enter conversations, and omit startup context.
- TUI input prompts can auto-resolve after inactivity, with a countdown that pauses on interaction.
Bug Fixes
- Hook trust bypass now persists through
codex execthread start and resume, while blockingPostToolUsehooks correctly reject code-mode tool calls. - Plugin capabilities now route consistently by authentication mode, deduplicate conflicting App/MCP declarations, and preserve remote marketplace ordering.
- Windows sandbox execution repairs stale credentials automatically and gives PowerShell commands more time before backgrounding.
- Idle exec-server relays remain connected, and steered user input immediately interrupts
wait_agent. - Bundled SQLite is pinned to a version containing the WAL-reset corruption fix.
- TLS connections now support P-521 certificate signatures commonly used by enterprise proxies.
Chores
- Reduced latency and memory use in large, tool-heavy sessions by caching tool search and eliminating repeated request and history copies.
- Bounded prompt-image caching to 64 MiB and feedback uploads to eight related threads.
- Terminal resize reflow is now always enabled, ignoring obsolete disabled settings.
