Codex++ 0.1.5

Codex++ 0.1.5 is the Tweak Store production release. It adds a reviewed store registry, clearer install/update state in Settings, faster startup patching, and a more reliable recovery path after official Codex app updates.

Highlights

• Added an in-app Tweak Store backed by the live reviewed registry on GitHub Pages.
• Store installs are pinned to approved GitHub commit SHAs and validate downloaded manifests before replacing local tweaks.
• Added store icons for reviewed tweaks and removed screenshot requirements from the review flow.
• Added reviewed store entries for Reasoning & Exploration Fixes, Easy Account Switcher, Context Follow Up, and Disable Escape.
• Randomized served Tweak Store entry order so the registry stays deterministic on disk while the app does not privilege one listing order.
• Added version badges on store cards showing both the installed version and latest approved version.
• Added platform compatibility handling so unsupported tweaks can stay listed without offering installs.
• Updated Bennett's UI Improvements in the reviewed registry to 0.1.5.
• Added startup performance patching for Codex 26.429: optimistic startup shell, earlier visible host window creation, deferred warmers, restored eager CSS, and removed the StrictMode renderer wrapper.
• Improved macOS Codex auto-update recovery: the watcher now separates Codex++ self-update from app repair and can open a Terminal repair fallback when macOS blocks background app modification.

For Users

The Tweak Store is available from Settings under the Codex++ section. Store cards now show the current local version beside the latest approved registry version, so updateable tweaks are easier to spot. For example, Bennett's UI Improvements now shows an update from the installed version to latest 0.1.5.

If Codex updates itself and Codex++ needs to reapply the patch, the repair guidance is now simpler. Run:

:::sh
codexplusplus repair

The background watcher will still try to repair automatically. When macOS refuses to let the LaunchAgent modify /Applications/Codex.app, Codex++ now opens a Terminal repair fallback instead of sending users through App Management instructions first.

For Store Reviewers

Store entries now rely on icons, not screenshot submissions. Each approved tweak remains pinned to a full Git commit SHA in store/index.json, and the runtime installs from that exact approved archive URL.

Bennett's UI Improvements was republished in the registry at:

Fixed

• Fixed store cards so installed tweaks show Installed vX - Latest vY in the same row as the install/update action.
• Fixed the watcher flow so app repair still runs when Codex++ self-update is already current or fails independently.
• Fixed watcher repair alerts to direct users to Terminal repair, with a one-click Terminal fallback.
• Fixed generated watcher commands so production .js CLI runs do not inherit development-only Node exec flags.
• Fixed startup patch idempotency for partial installs and older deferred-CSS patches.
