OpenAI Codex CLI adds /import from Cursor and Claude Code, audio input and named sessions
OpenAI Codex CLI's July 2026 releases added migration from other tools, audio input and better session management. In v0.145.0, /import now migrates Cursor and Claude Code settings, MCP servers, plugins, sessions, commands and project-scoped memories. The same release added audio inputs and tool outputs, an opt-in multi-agent V2 with configurable sub-agent models, reasoning levels and concurrency, and incremental Markdown rendering for long conversations. Eleven releases shipped, from rust-v0.142.5 to rust-v0.146.0.
Earlier in the month, v0.143.0 enabled remote plugins by default, routed traffic through macOS and Windows system proxies, made tool search the default for MCP tools, and added Amazon Bedrock GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra and Luna models. v0.144.0 added a writes app-approval mode and clearer usage-credit details. v0.146.0 lets you name sessions with /new or /clear, pin threads and fork threads. Most 0.144.x patches were fixes for installs, auto-review, dangerous-command detection and GPT-5.6 context windows, and two were version-only releases.
