0.117.0 — Codex Changelog

New Features

Plugins are now a first-class workflow: Codex can sync product-scoped plugins at startup, browse them in /plugins, and install or remove them with clearer auth/setup handling. (#15041, #15042, #15195, #15215, #15217, #15264, #15275, #15342, #15580, #15606, #15802)
Sub-agents now use readable path-based addresses like /root/agent_a, with structured inter-agent messaging and agent listing for multi-agent v2 workflows. (#15313, #15515, #15556, #15570, #15621, #15647)
The /title terminal-title picker now works in both the classic TUI and the app-server TUI, making parallel sessions easier to tell apart. (#12334, #15860)
App-server clients can now send ! shell commands, watch filesystem changes, and connect to remote websocket servers with bearer-token auth. (#14988, #14533, #14847, #14853)
Image workflows got smoother: view_image now returns image URLs for code mode, generated images are reopenable from the TUI, and image-generation history survives resume. (#15072, #15154, #15223)
Prompt history recall now works in the app-server TUI, including across sessions. (#14945)

Bug Fixes

tui_app_server no longer duplicates live reasoning summaries or /review output, and it preserves transcript text instead of dropping it under backpressure. (#15758, #15839, #15759)
ChatGPT login in tui_app_server now opens the local browser again, cancels cleanly on Ctrl+C, and no longer fails startup when you're logged out. (#15672, #15673, #15670)
Early exits now restore terminal state reliably, avoiding broken shell state after quitting; tmux users also get a working queued-message edit shortcut on Shift+Left. (#15671, #15480)
Linux sandboxed tool calls are more reliable on older distributions with older bubblewrap, and Windows restricted-token sandboxing now supports more split-policy carveout layouts. (#15693, #14172)
Remote multi-agent sessions now show agent names instead of raw IDs and recover more gracefully from stale turn-steering races. (#15513, #15714, #15163)
Plugin-backed mentions and product gating now behave more predictably, fixing cases where explicit mentions lost context or plugins were filtered incorrectly. (#15372, #15263, #15279)

Documentation

Expanded the app-server and exec-server docs/schema fixtures to cover exec-server setup, filesystem watch RPCs, realtime transcript notifications, and the new Python thread.run(...) quickstart flow. (#15089, #14533, #15344, #15088)

Chores

The app-server-backed TUI is now enabled by default, and the plugin/app rollout flags have been flipped on in normal builds. (#15661, #15713, #15719, #15820)
Removed the legacy artifact tool and retired the old read_file and grep_files handlers as part of ongoing tool-surface cleanup. (#15851, #15864, #15773, #15775)
