New Features

  • /usage can now show and redeem earned usage-limit reset credits, with confirmation, retry, and refreshed availability states.
  • /plugins now organizes remote plugins into OpenAI Curated, Workspace, and Shared with me sections, while eligible turns can recommend and install relevant plugins.
  • Configurable rollout token budgets track usage across agent threads, provide remaining-budget reminders, and abort turns when exhausted.
  • App-server clients can configure multi-agent delegation as disabled, explicit-request-only, or proactive at the thread and turn level.
  • Added an indexed web-search mode that permits live searches while restricting direct page access to server-approved URLs.
  • Codex can now receive scheduled UTC time reminders and query the current time directly, including through client-provided app-server clocks.

Bug Fixes

  • Restored reliable Linux TUI rendering after suspending with Ctrl+Z and resuming with fg.
  • Exec-server processes and stdio MCP sessions now survive transient disconnects, including signed-URL refresh and retry-safe stdin writes.
  • Remote environments now preserve executor-native paths, shells, AGENTS.md discovery, and sandbox behavior across operating systems.
  • Plugin loading and installation now handle root marketplace layouts, manifest fallbacks, multiple skill paths, actionable download errors, and immediate tool refreshes.
  • Parent agents now receive terminal subagent errors instead of seeing failed work as an empty successful completion.
  • Goal-first threads are once again persisted and returned by thread/list and thread/search.

Chores

  • Reduced startup and session latency by deferring unnecessary DNS work, warming the model cache, reusing parsed plugin skills, parallelizing skill metadata reads, and skipping redundant catalog synchronization.
  • Reduced persistent-log churn by removing per-event WebSocket payload logging and filtering duplicated telemetry records.
