OpenAI Codex CLI Files

New Features

• codex doctor now reports richer environment, Git, terminal, app-server, and thread inventory diagnostics for support cases. (#24261, [#24311], [#24305])
• /status shows remote connection details and server version when the TUI is connected over a remote transport. (#24420)
• Vim mode gained text-object editing, improved word/line-end behavior, and a configurable interrupt-turn binding. (#24382, [#24380], [#24766])
• /permissions now understands named permission profiles and displays configured custom profiles. (#21559)
• Packaged Codex builds can discover and use the bundled patched zsh helper across supported macOS and Linux targets. (#23756, [#24171])
• The Python SDK now exposes friendly Sandbox presets for thread and turn APIs. (#24772)

Bug Fixes

• Markdown tables and multiline lists render more readably in the TUI, with better column sizing and app-style table formatting. (#24489, [#24346], [#24351])
• TUI output is more stable on macOS and Zellij, avoiding stderr/composer corruption and raw-output overlap. (#24459, [#24479], [#24593])
• Slash-command completion now preserves existing draft text for commands that accept inline arguments. (#23950)
• Older tmux/iTerm control-mode sessions no longer lose normal Ctrl-C handling from unsupported keyboard enhancement setup. (#24371)
• App mentions now exclude inaccessible or disabled apps instead of offering unusable $ suggestions. (#24625)
• Resume flows now include non-interactive exec sessions when requested and honor cwd overrides for idle cached threads. (#24503, [#24528])

Documentation

• Clarified image-viewing tool detail behavior and removed stale TUI composer documentation references. (#23949, [#24641])
• Updated Python SDK docs, examples, and notebook content to use the new sandbox preset API. (#24772)

Chores

• Updated Rust toolchain pins and SQLx/SQLite dependencies. (#24684, [#24728])
• Moved memory runtime state into a dedicated SQLite database. (#24591)
• Removed remaining legacy config-profile consumers and routed more TUI config/plugin state through app-server-owned APIs. (#24076, [#24254], [#24255], [#24265], [#24266], [#24257])
• Centralized Responses retry handling and MCP tool naming logic to reduce duplicated internal plumbing. (#24131, [#21576])
