OpenAI Codex CLI Files

New Features

• App-server TUI now supports device-code ChatGPT sign-in during onboarding and can refresh existing ChatGPT tokens. (#14952)
• Plugin setup is smoother: Codex can prompt to install missing plugins or connectors, honor a configured suggestion allowlist, and sync install/uninstall state remotely. (#14896, [#15022], [#14878])
• Added a userpromptsubmit hook so prompts can be blocked or augmented before execution and before they enter history. (#14626)
• Realtime sessions now start with recent thread context and are less likely to self-interrupt during audio playback. (#14829, [#14827])

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a first-turn stall where websocket prewarm could delay turn/start; startup now times out and falls back cleanly. (#14838)
• Restored conversation history for remote resume/fork in the app-server TUI and stopped duplicate live transcript output from legacy stream events. (#14930, [#14892])
• Improved Linux sandbox startup on symlinked checkouts, missing writable roots, and Ubuntu/AppArmor hosts by preferring system bwrap when available. (#14849, [#14890], [#14963])
• Fixed an agent job finalization race and reduced status polling churn for worker threads. (#14843)

Documentation

• Refreshed the Python SDK public API docs, examples, and walkthrough around the generated app-server models. (#14446)

Chores

• Pinned the setup-zig GitHub Action to an immutable SHA for more reproducible CI. (#14858)
