Release Notes

New Features - Goals are now enabled by default, backed by dedicated storage, and track progress across active turns. (23300, 23685, 23696, 23732) - codex remote-control now runs like a foreground command, waits for readiness, reports machine status, and keeps explicit daemon-style start/stop commands. (22878) - Permission profiles gained list APIs, inheritance, managed requirements.toml support, runtime refresh behavior, and stronger Windows sandbox integration. (22928, 23412, 22270, 23433, 22931, 23715) - Plugin discovery is easier to inspect, with marketplace-aware list output, installed versions, visible marketplace roots, and remote collection support. (23372, 23584, 23727, 23730) - Extensions can observe more lifecycle events, including subagent start/stop, tool execution, turn metadata, and async approval/turn processing. (22782, 22873, 23309, 23688, 23690, 23692) Bug Fixes - Fixed TUI startup choosing the wrong working directory when reusing a local app-server socket. (23538) - Fixed plan-mode free-form answers so modified Enter keys, like Shift+Enter, no longer submit unexpectedly. (23536) - Removed stale background terminal poll events after a process exits. (23231) - Preserved raw code-mode exec output unless an explicit output token limit is requested. (23564) - Made AGENTS instruction loading more reliable, including local global reads and warnings for invalid UTF-8 instead of silent drops. (23343, 23232) - Fixed app-server startup/shutdown races, empty resume/fork paths, plugin upgrade failures, and realtime v1 websocket compatibility. (23516, 23578, 23400, 23356, 23771) Documentation - Added clearer plugin-creator guidance for updating and reinstalling local personal plugins. (23542) - Expanded app-server/API docs and schema coverage around managed permission profile requirements. (23433, 23555) Chores - Added a canonical Codex package archive pipeline and moved installers, npm packages, DotSlash, and SDK runtimes toward that shared layout. (23513, 23582, 23586, 23596, 23635, 23636, 23637, 23638, 23786) - Fixed Linux Python runtime wheel tags so glibc-based systems can install the runtime artifacts. (21812) - Improved release and CI reliability with package-builder tests, prebuilt resource packaging, DotSlash zstd handling, platform-sharded Rust tests, and Codex Linux release runners.
