Codex CLI 0.159.0

New Features

• Opt-in instant_interrupt lets new input steer Codex during model responses or long-running code-mode calls.
• New sessions get a compact welcome screen and consistent headers, with occasional tips during and after turns.
• The warnings viewer dismisses reviewed warnings when closed; press k to keep one for later.
• You can scroll the transcript while deciding whether to implement a plan.
• Native Mermaid rendering supports more flowchart edges, labels, and node groups.
• App-server clients can paginate thread history from a specific item.

Bug Fixes

• Windows launches avoid stray console windows for MCP servers, code-mode hosts, and piped commands; restrictive launchers can fall back to embedded mode.
• Copying transcript selections preserves Markdown tables, formatting, and significant whitespace. More terminals now copy automatically on selection.
• Blank sessions retain drafts when switching tasks, and threads can be archived and listed before their first turn.
• Local ChatGPT sign-in opens the browser reliably; onboarding also provides a shortcut to copy the login link.
• Approved commands retain explicit filesystem denials, and .aws directories are protected by default under writable roots.
• Fixed macOS TLS access in network-enabled sandboxes and remote environments that require proxy access.

Chores

• Removed automatic follow-up prompt suggestions and the tui.prompt_suggestions setting.
• Removed the bundled plugin-creator skill.
