Codex CLI Release: 0.129.0
The TUI now supports modal Vim editing in the composer, including /vim, default-mode config, and Vim-specific keymap contexts. (#18595)
TUI workflows are easier to resume and copy from with a redesigned resume/fork picker, raw scrollback mode, /ide context injection, and workspace-aware /diff. (#20065, #20819, #20294, #21001)
The status line can show theme-aware colors plus optional PR and branch-change summaries, and /keymap debug helps inspect terminal key events. (#19631, #20892, #20794)
Plugin management now supports workspace sharing, share access controls, source filtering, local share path tracking, marketplace removal/upgrades, remote bundle sync, and admin-disabled status handling. (#20278, #21124, #21419, #20560, #19843, #20478, #20268, #20298)
Hooks can be browsed and toggled from /hooks, can run before/after compaction, and can add PreToolUse context; Codex Apps auth and eligible MCP elicitations now surface through TUI/Guardian flows. (#19882, #19905, #20692, #19193, #19431)
Experimental goals are now discoverable, stay paused across resume unless the user opts back in, and show clearer validation and multi-day duration output. (#20083, #20790, #20746, #20558)
/copy works better in tmux, Alt+Enter and modified Delete/Backspace keys behave correctly, and Windows typing/paste latency was reduced. (#20207, #20535, #21058, #18914)
Large paste placeholders and Ctrl+C-stashed drafts now survive clear/editor workflows without corrupting draft history. (#21091, #21190, #21351, #21397)
TUI startup and accessibility were tightened by bounding terminal probes, clearing the first inline viewport render, and honoring animations = false for live rows. (#20654, #21450, #20564)
Linux sandbox startup is more reliable across older bwrap, slow mount probes, symlink-protected paths, and shared /tmp setups. (#20628, #20111, #21127, #21234)
Windows sandbox and exec policy now handle named pipes, ConPTY teardown, PowerShell-wrapped allow rules, worktree safe.directory, and unsafe Git options more reliably. (#20270, #20685, #20336, #21409, #21275)
Fixed custom CA login behind TLS-inspecting proxies, Bedrock runtime endpoint reporting, dangerous project config keys, heredoc redirect approval matching, and unbounded MCP/hook output growth. (#20676, #20275, #20098, #20113, #20260, #21069)
Updated the embedded OpenAI Docs sample skill so API-key setup guidance stays aligned with other docs variants. (#21263)
Documented how generated git commit attribution is gated by codex_git_commit and configured in config.toml. (#21379)
Removed local-only planning/spec docs and redirected config docs toward the maintained external documentation surface. (#20896)
Linux releases now build, publish, bundle, and verify a standalone bwrap fallback for npm and DotSlash installs. (#21255, #21256, #21257, #21312, #21285)
Vendored Bubblewrap was updated to 0.11.2, including upstream security changes around setuid support. (#21389)
Windows Bazel CI now uses faster cross-compilation for tests, clippy, and release-build checks, and Bazel now runs sharded Rust integration tests. (#20585, #20701, #21057)
App-server and protocol internals were split and slimmed down, including transport extraction, protocol module decomposition, thread/message history moves, and tool-handler cleanup. (#20324, #20325, #20348, #20545, #21251, #21278, #21395)
Analytics and diagnostics coverage expanded for tool lifecycles, goals, plugin skills, thread sources, service tiers, and PR issue labeling. (#17089, #17090, #20799, #20923, #20949, #20969, #20893)
