Codex CLI 0.154.0 introduces new features including GPT-6-Astra and improved session management, alongside several bug fixes.

Why it matters: Users of Codex CLI should care for enhanced functionality and improved session management.

GPT-6-Astra is now available in the model picker and Amazon Bedrock catalogs.
Experimental worktree support lets you create isolated checkouts for new or forked sessions using --worktree or /worktree, then browse and resume them.
Answer questions inline while Codex continues working, using suggested choices or custom text without losing your main draft.
Windows sessions can now share a background Codex server, with daemon lifecycle commands and managed updates.
Vim editing gains R replace mode with undo and dot-repeat, plus more reliable Escape handling in legacy terminals.
Copying responses preserves formatting in rich-text apps, and /copy can copy status output or individual session fields.

Existing sessions pick up newly installed plugin tools and refresh skills and hooks after external plugin upgrades or rollbacks.
MCP connections coordinate OAuth token refreshes and surface login challenges when refresh fails, without automatically replaying rejected tool calls.
Startup avoids running workspace-controlled helpers before trust is established, and the macOS sandbox blocks terminal input injection.
Remote resume and fork operations preserve saved permissions; fresh sessions and forks respect server model defaults unless explicitly overridden.
Resuming a conversation open in another app now shows a read-only transcript with a retry option while preserving your draft.
Automatic approval reviews better preserve authorization context through compaction and reject approvals invalidated by new user instructions or answers.

Updated the bundled OpenAI Docs skill with GPT-6-Astra migration, compatibility, and prompting guidance.
