Codex CLI 0.145.0-alpha.19

0.145.0-alpha.18→0.145.0-alpha.19·July 16, 2026 at 10:17 PM UTC

Patch alpha release: JSONL event output for exec, apps/thread protocol surfaces, and telemetry plus model cleanups.

Changelog

  • [new] Exec can emit agent events as JSONL for line-oriented, machine-readable consumption.
  • [new] Protocol support for reading apps and batch app summaries (apps list/read style APIs).
  • [new] Web search begin events so search tool runs surface a clear start signal.
  • [new] Thread helpers for clearing goals and listing loaded threads.
  • [changed] OpenTelemetry export favors OTLP over HTTP rather than gRPC.
  • [changed] Sub-agent activity and related thread items carry a richer, reordered set of fields (collaboration, review, memory citations, and agent state).
  • [changed] MCP elicitation requests move toward a URL-oriented shape; value matching gains a regex-style matcher.
  • [changed] Permission-oriented configuration via CODEX_PERMISSION / CODEX_PERMISSION_PROFILE.
  • [removed] The o1 model identifier is no longer included.

Under the hood

  • New exec event processor dedicated to JSONL output, keeping stream formatting out of the main path.
  • Additional config and requirements payloads (project config, managed hooks requirements, config-requirements read responses) to support stricter or managed setups.
  • External-agent config migration items for bringing third-party agent config into Codex.
  • Tool-choice and raw payload reference types for tighter request/response modeling.
  • Thread store TOML representation simplified around a local approval-oriented store.
  • Handshake, guardian approval, and related client/server request enums adjusted for the current protocol.
  • Assorted internal type churn (apps, assistant turns, serialization helpers) without user-facing docs changes in this alpha.

Upgrade notes

  • If you still pin o1, switch to a supported model id before upgrading.
  • If you scrape OTLP over gRPC, point collectors at the HTTP OTLP path instead.
  • Callers of collaboration/MCP elicitation or sub-agent activity payloads should recheck field shapes; several request and thread-item layouts changed in this alpha.
