Codex updates: richer context, shared plugins, goal mode, browser improvements, remote locked use, and analytics

Codex now gives teams more ways to bring context into longer workflows, reuse internal tools, and track adoption:

• Appshots in the macOS app let users attach an app window to a Codex thread with a hotkey, including a screenshot and available text.
• Goal mode is generally available across the Codex app, IDE extension, and CLI, so users can define an outcome and success criteria and let Codex keep working toward it.
• In-app browser annotations support more precise styling feedback for browser-based and frontend work.
• Locked computer use lets users keep Codex working remotely and securely after the Mac locks, subject to existing regional constraints.
• Browser-use improvements add advanced annotation mode, faster asset extraction, read-only JavaScript context, tab grouping usability, less Chrome extension tab clutter, and reliability improvements.
• Plugin sharing lets ChatGPT Business users share locally built plugins with workspace members from the Codex app so teams can reuse internal tools and workflows.
• The global admin console now includes Codex analytics, with active users, credits and tokens, threads and turns, user leaderboards, plugin usage, accepted lines of code, model usage, and a console-aligned UI.
