New Features

  • Added an interactive codex agents dashboard for searching, starting, opening, renaming, and stopping tasks, with configurable shortcuts.
  • Added /cd, /pwd, and /cwd commands for managing the working directory in TUI sessions.
  • Added codex queue for sending messages to existing local or remote sessions.
  • Expanded Vim editing with character replacement and more change motions such as cw, c$, and cc.
  • codex doctor now diagnoses endpoint protection, network/proxy failures, desktop app state, and update connectivity.
  • SDK users can now pass exact CLI config overrides and select max or ultra reasoning effort.

Bug Fixes

  • Queued messages now wake idle sessions reliably, resolve duplicate session names more usefully, and preserve pasted or deferred command semantics.
  • Resumed and forked threads now restore their active permission profile instead of silently falling back to current defaults.
  • Fixed duplicate sub-agent activity and tightened TUI routing for sub-agent notifications and approvals.
  • Realtime WebRTC sideband connections now reconnect after unexpected transport loss without dropping pending output.
  • Inline TUI history now remains available in Windows Terminal scrollback.
  • Inactive TUI thread replay buffers are now bounded to prevent excessive retained streamed output.

Documentation

  • Clarified that external contributions should go through issues and design discussion rather than pull requests.
  • Documented DNS exfiltration risks and trust limitations for secure devcontainers.
