Release Notes
New Features - The Python SDK now supports first-class authentication, including API key login, ChatGPT browser and device-code flows, account inspection, and logout APIs. (23093) - Python turn APIs are easier to use for text-only workflows: you can pass a plain string as input, and handle-based runs now return a richer TurnResult with collected items, timing, and usage data. (23151, 23162) - codex exec resume now accepts --output-schema, so resumed automations can keep session context while still enforcing structured JSON output. (23123) - TUI startup is faster because terminal capability probes are now batched instead of waiting on several serial checks before the first interactive frame. (23175) - Remote executor registration can now use standard Codex auth instead of a separate registry credential flow. (22769) - App-server turns can preserve requested image fidelity, including original-resolution local images, across user inputs and image-producing tools. (20693) Bug Fixes - Goal continuations now stop when they hit usage limits or a repeated blocker instead of looping and burning more tokens, and completion responses phrase usage more naturally. (23094, 22907) - The session picker is easier to trust: renamed threads now show name (thread-id) in resume hints, and pasted text works in the picker search box. (23234, 23338) - Multi-session TUI flows are more reliable: in-progress MCP calls stay marked as active during replay, and elicitation replies are sent back to the thread that requested them. (23236, 23241) - Remote sessions now keep websocket connections alive and show repo-relative diff paths again instead of /tmp/...-prefixed paths. (23226, 23261) - Windows installs are more robust: codex doctor now detects npm-managed installs correctly, and MSVC release binaries no longer depend on separately installed VC++ runtime DLLs. (22967, 22905) - TUI polish fixes include immediate shutdown feedback on exit, hiding the ChatGPT usage link for non-OpenAI providers, and keeping a cleared Fast tier from reappearing after side-thread resume. (23323, 23127, 23121) Documentation - The Python SDK docs, FAQ, and examples were refreshed around the new auth flow and turn APIs, with clearer setup guidance and simpler text-only examples. (22941, 23093, 23151, 23162) Chores - Memory summaries are now versioned and rebuilt when the stored format is stale, which should keep long-lived memory context leaner and more predictable.
