Release Notes

New Features - App-server TUI now supports device-code ChatGPT sign-in during onboarding and can refresh existing ChatGPT tokens. (14952) - Plugin setup is smoother: Codex can prompt to install missing plugins or connectors, honor a configured suggestion allowlist, and sync install/uninstall state remotely. (14896, 15022, 14878) - Added a userpromptsubmit hook so prompts can be blocked or augmented before execution and before they enter history. (14626) - Realtime sessions now start with recent thread context and are less likely to self-interrupt during audio playback. (14829, 14827) Bug Fixes - Fixed a first-turn stall where websocket prewarm could delay turn/start; startup now times out and falls back cleanly. (14838) - Restored conversation history for remote resume/fork in the app-server TUI and stopped duplicate live transcript output from legacy stream events. (14930, 14892) - Improved Linux sandbox startup on symlinked checkouts, missing writable roots, and Ubuntu/AppArmor hosts by preferring system bwrap when available. (14849, 14890, 14963) - Fixed an agent job finalization race and reduced status polling churn for worker threads. (14843) Documentation - Refreshed the Python SDK public API docs, examples, and walkthrough around the generated app-server models. (14446) Chores - Pinned the setup-zig GitHub Action to an immutable SHA for more reproducible CI.
