New Features

  • Install portable Agent Plugins and search across local, personal, workspace, and remote plugin catalogs.
  • Organize conversations into persistent, manually ordered sections and browse long transcripts incrementally.
  • Enable automatically reviewed approvals with the new --approve-for-me CLI flag.
  • Import Cursor-managed skills and synchronize changes to imported Claude and Cursor conversations without creating duplicates.
  • Support the opt-in MCP 2026-07-28 protocol, including paginated discovery, multi-round requests, and non-blocking server startup.
  • Enable cached web search and remote conversation compaction for Amazon Bedrock.

Bug Fixes

  • Redact secrets and complete bearer tokens from displayed commands and replayed conversation history.
  • Prevent lost or stalled terminal input when focus returns, MCP servers initialize, or Ghostty handles keyboard shortcuts.
  • Correct rendering and cursor positioning for Japanese characters, emoji, hyperlinks, and text near viewport boundaries.
  • Properly interrupt Windows background processes and handle Windows filesystem paths consistently.
  • Require explicit trust for unfamiliar local projects and enforce managed authentication restrictions before credentials are used.
  • Harden plugin isolation and deny network access when policy updates fail.

Documentation

  • Improve the bundled OpenAI documentation skill with targeted official-source lookup and clearer guidance for Codex, model selection, and API workflows.

Chores

  • Upgrade the MCP SDK to 3.0.0, Ratatui to 0.30.2, and V8 to 150.4.0.
  • Secure macOS release notarization using Azure Key Vault instead of exporting private signing keys.
  • Remove the deprecated codex exec --full-auto flag; use --sandbox workspace-write instead.
  • Stop publishing redundant Linux bundle archives; use the standard codex-package-<target> release archives.
