The TUI now offers richer session controls and display: data-driven service-tier commands, blended token usage, permissions/approval mode, effective workspace roots, and responsive Markdown tables. (#21745, #21906, #21991, #21669, #21677, #22052, #22612)
@ mentions now search files, directories, plugins, and skills in one picker, backed by app-server plugin metadata. (#19068, #22375)
Plugin workflows gained marketplace CLI commands, version-aware sharing, share checkout, clearer shared-workspace buckets, and default-enabled plugin hooks. (#21396, #22397, #22425, #22435, #22549)
Remote workflows now support daemon-managed codex remote-control, runtime enable/disable APIs, status reads, and registry-backed/configured remote environments. (#20718, #22218, #22562, #22578, #22877, #20667, #21323)
The Python SDK moved to openai-codex / openai_codex, with pinned runtime-generated types, concurrent turn routing, approval modes, and integration coverage. (#21778, #21891, #21893, #21896, #21905, #21910, #22014)
Added codex doctor for support-ready diagnostics across runtime, auth, terminal, network, config, and local state. (#22336)

Bug Fixes

Fixed several TUI interaction and rendering issues, including URL wrapping, light-mode selection contrast, Shift+Enter in tmux, /review MCP startup status, /side Esc handling, and network approval history text. (#21760, #21950, #21943, #21624, #22710, #22229)
Hardened Windows sandbox behavior around deny-read rules, scoped write roots, ineffective firewall policy, and PowerShell edge cases. (#18202, #21479, #22353, #21400, #22643)
Preserved managed read restrictions during permission escalation and cleaned up workspace-root permission profile resolution. (#15977, #22624, #22683)
Made app-server and local state startup safer by preserving SQLite data, failing closed when state cannot open, adding recovery paths, and softening optional metadata sync failures. (#21831, #21847, #22580, #22734, #22899)
Improved Git and auth reliability by using root worktree hooks consistently, ignoring repo hook/fsmonitor config in helper commands, binding local MCP OAuth callbacks, and revoking superseded login tokens. (#21969, #22843, #22652, #20237, #21747)
Reduced remote and Windows cleanup friction with longer exec-server transport timeouts, quieter taskkill cleanup, and non-queued plugin reads. (#21825, #21759, #22058, #22703)

Documentation

Clarified that general Codex product docs should not be added to this repo, while app-server API docs remain in scope. (#21772)
Updated plugin-creator guidance for the simplified local plugin handoff links. (#22240)
Documented new app-server/API contracts for remote environments and the desktop-owned config namespace. (#21323, #22584)

Chores

Improved CI and release reliability across Rust CI, exact PR-head checkout, Windows Bazel sharding, unsigned macOS artifacts, and signed macOS promotion. (#21604, #21628, #21835, #22408, #22559, #22649, #22737, #22788, #22900)
Split large TUI ChatWidget, history, and composer code into focused modules without intended behavior changes. (#21866, #22269, #22407, #22433, #22518, #22537, #22704, #22581, #22656)
Continued extracting extension and tool internals, including shared tool contracts plus guardian and memory extension plumbing. (#21736, #21737, #21738, #22138, #22147, #22216, #22258, #22344, #22476, #22480, #22485, #22498)
Removed obsolete tool paths, feature flags, config gates, and legacy hooks as defaults stabilized. (#21651, #21805, #22173, #22246, #22565, #22711, #22717, #22724, #22730)
