codex doctor now reports richer environment, Git, terminal, app-server, and thread inventory diagnostics for support cases. (#24261, #24311, #24305)
/status shows remote connection details and server version when the TUI is connected over a remote transport. (#24420)
Vim mode gained text-object editing, improved word/line-end behavior, and a configurable interrupt-turn binding. (#24382, #24380, #24766)
/permissions now understands named permission profiles and displays configured custom profiles. (#21559)
Packaged Codex builds can discover and use the bundled patched zsh helper across supported macOS and Linux targets. (#23756, #24171)
The Python SDK now exposes friendly Sandbox presets for thread and turn APIs. (#24772)
install.sh/install.ps1 supports a non-interactive installation mode when CODEX_NON_INTERACTIVE=1 is set. (#21567)

Bug Fixes

Markdown tables and multiline lists render more readably in the TUI, with better column sizing and app-style table formatting. (#24489, #24346, #24351)
TUI output is more stable on macOS and Zellij, avoiding stderr/composer corruption and raw-output overlap. (#24459, #24479, #24593)
Slash-command completion now preserves existing draft text for commands that accept inline arguments. (#23950)
Older tmux/iTerm control-mode sessions no longer lose normal Ctrl-C handling from unsupported keyboard enhancement setup. (#24371)
App mentions now exclude inaccessible or disabled apps instead of offering unusable $ suggestions. (#24625)
Resume flows now include non-interactive exec sessions when requested and honor cwd overrides for idle cached threads. (#24503, #24528)

Documentation

Clarified image-viewing tool detail behavior and removed stale TUI composer documentation references. (#23949, #24641)
Updated Python SDK docs, examples, and notebook content to use the new sandbox preset API. (#24772)

Chores

Updated Rust toolchain pins and SQLx/SQLite dependencies. (#24684, #24728)
Moved memory runtime state into a dedicated SQLite database. (#24591)
Removed remaining legacy config-profile consumers and routed more TUI config/plugin state through app-server-owned APIs. (#24076, #24254, #24255, #24265, #24266, #24257)
Centralized Responses retry handling and MCP tool naming logic to reduce duplicated internal plumbing. (#24131, #21576)
