Codex CLI Release: 0.128.0
Added persisted /goal workflows with app-server APIs, model tools, runtime continuation, and TUI controls for create, pause, resume, and clear. (#18073, #18074, #18075, #18076, #18077, #20082)
Added codex update, configurable TUI keymaps, plan-mode nudges, action-required terminal titles, and active-turn /statusline and /title edits. (#19933, #18593, #19901, #18372, #19917)
Expanded permission profiles with built-in defaults, sandbox CLI profile selection, cwd controls, and active-profile metadata for clients. (#19900, #20117, #20118, #20095)
Improved plugin workflows with marketplace installation, remote bundle caching, remote uninstall, plugin-bundled hooks, hook enablement state, and external-agent config import. (#18704, #19914, #19456, #19705, #19840, #19949)
Added external agent session import, including background imports and imported-session title handling. (#19895, #20284, #20261)
Made MultiAgentV2 configuration more explicit with thread caps, wait-time controls, root/subagent hints, and v2-specific depth handling. (#19360, #19792, #19805, #20052, #20180)
Fixed several resume and interruption issues, including stale interrupt hangs, persisted provider restoration, large remote resume responses, and slow filtered resume lists. (#18392, #19287, #19920, #19591)
Improved TUI reliability around terminal resize reflow, markdown list spacing, slash-command popup layout, keyboard cleanup, shell-mode escape, and working status updates. (#18575, #19706, #19511, #19625, #19986, #19939)
Hardened managed network behavior for deferred denials, proxy bypass defaults, resolved target checks, IPv6 host matching, and git -C approval handling. (#19184, #20002, #19999, #19995, #20085)
Fixed Windows sandbox and PTY edge cases, including pseudoconsole startup, elevated runner process handling, core shell environment inheritance, and named-pipe validation. (#20042, #19211, #20089, #19283)
Fixed Bedrock model support for apply_patch, GPT-5.4 reasoning levels, and updated Bedrock GPT-5.4 endpoint/model metadata. (#19416, #19461, #20109)
Fixed MCP/plugin edge cases around stdio server cleanup, plugin MCP approval persistence, and custom MCP metadata isolation. (#19753, #19537, #19836, #19875)
Updated the bundled OpenAI Docs skill for GPT-5.5, gpt-image-2, and clearer upgrade guidance. (#19407, #19443, #19422)
Clarified contributor-facing docs, including the PR template, Rust async trait guidance, and README wording. (#19912, #20242, #19514)
Added a checked-in codex-core public API listing and a ThreadManager sample crate. (#20243, #20141)
Published codex-app-server release artifacts, stopped publishing GNU Linux binaries, and increased release workflow timeouts. (#19447, #19445, #20271, #20343)
Added Codex-pinned versioning for the Python app-server SDK package. (#18996)
Deprecated --full-auto while steering users toward explicit permission profiles and trust flows. (#20133)
Stabilized CI and release plumbing with Bazel setup migration, release smoke-test pinning, and updated workflow pins/timeouts. (#19851, #19854, #19472, #19609)
