Release Notes
New Features - /usage can now show and redeem earned usage-limit reset credits, with confirmation, retry, and refreshed availability states. (28154, 28793) - /plugins now organizes remote plugins into OpenAI Curated, Workspace, and Shared with me sections, while eligible turns can recommend and install relevant plugins. (26703, 28399, 28400, 27704, 28403) - Configurable rollout token budgets track usage across agent threads, provide remaining-budget reminders, and abort turns when exhausted. (28746, 28494, 28707, 29423) - App-server clients can configure multi-agent delegation as disabled, explicit-request-only, or proactive at the thread and turn level. (28685, 28792, 29324) - Added an indexed web-search mode that permits live searches while restricting direct page access to server-approved URLs. (28489) - Codex can now receive scheduled UTC time reminders and query the current time directly, including through client-provided app-server clocks. (28822, 28824, 28835, 29011) Bug Fixes - Restored reliable Linux TUI rendering after suspending with Ctrl+Z and resuming with fg. (28342) - Exec-server processes and stdio MCP sessions now survive transient disconnects, including signed-URL refresh and retry-safe stdin writes. (28512, 28374, 28546, 28895) - Remote environments now preserve executor-native paths, shells, AGENTS.md discovery, and sandbox behavior across operating systems. (28146, 28152, 28958, 28983, 29099, 29108, 29113, 29424) - Plugin loading and installation now handle root marketplace layouts, manifest fallbacks, multiple skill paths, actionable download errors, and immediate tool refreshes. (28771, 28789, 28790, 28863, 28951) - Parent agents now receive terminal subagent errors instead of seeing failed work as an empty successful completion. (28375) - Goal-first threads are once again persisted and returned by thread/list and thread/search. (28808) Chores - Reduced startup and session latency by deferring unnecessary DNS work, warming the model cache, reusing parsed plugin skills, parallelizing skill metadata reads, and skipping redundant catalog synchronization. (28542, 28699, 28844, 29326, 29005) - Reduced persistent-log churn by removing per-event WebSocket payload logging and filtering duplicated telemetry records.
