Added a more unified permissions flow, including clearer permissions history in the TUI and a slash command to grant sandbox read access when directories are blocked. (#11633, #11512, #11550, #11639)
Introduced structured network approval handling, with richer host/protocol context shown directly in approval prompts. (#11672, #11674)
Expanded app-server fuzzy file search with explicit session-complete signaling so clients can stop loading indicators reliably. (#10268, #11773)
Added customizable multi-agent roles via config, including migration toward the new multi-agent naming/config surface. (#11917, #11982, #11939, #11918)
Added a model/rerouted notification so clients can detect and render model reroute events explicitly. (#12001)

Bug Fixes

Fixed remote image attachments so they persist correctly across resume/backtrack and history replay in the TUI. (#10590)
Fixed a TUI accessibility regression where animation gating for screen reader users was not consistently respected. (#11860)
Fixed app-server thread resume behavior to correctly rejoin active in-memory threads and tighten invalid resume cases. (#11756)
Fixed model/list output to return full model data plus visibility metadata, avoiding unintended server-side filtering. (#11793)
Fixed several js_repl stability issues, including reset hangs, in-flight tool-call races, and a view_image panic path. (#11932, #11922, #11800, #11796)
Fixed app integration edge cases in mention parsing and app list loading/filtering behavior. (#11894, #11518, #11697)

Documentation

Updated contributor guidance to require snapshot coverage for user-visible TUI changes. (#10669)
Updated docs/help text around Codex app and MCP command usage. (#11926, #11813)

Chores

Improved developer log tooling with new just log --search and just log --compact modes. (#11995, #11994)
Updated vendored rg and tightened Bazel/Cargo lockfile sync checks to reduce dependency drift. (#12007, #11790)
