Release Notes
New Features - Fast mode is now enabled by default, and the TUI header shows whether the session is running in Fast or Standard mode. (13450, 13446) - jsrepl can now dynamically import local .js and .mjs files, making it easier to reuse workspace scripts from the REPL. (13437) - Codex now tells the model which plugins are enabled at session start, improving discovery of installed MCPs, apps, and skills. (13433) - App-server v2 now exposes MCP elicitation as a structured request/response flow instead of raw events, which simplifies client integrations. (13425) - Expanded image workflow support for clients, including client-side handling of image-generation events and model metadata for image-capable web search. (13512, 13538) Bug Fixes - Resuming a thread now preserves its stored git context and keeps apps enabled, avoiding broken state after codex resume. (13504, 13533) Documentation - Added sample skill documentation for artifact workflows, including slide deck and spreadsheet examples.
