Patch alpha (0.145.0-alpha.25 → 0.145.0-alpha.27) focused on cleanup: audio input paths and several legacy APIs/subsystems are removed, with TUI turn handling and client event wiring tightened up.
Changelog
[removed] Audio user input and related MCP/audio content paths are gone, along with the audio decoding stack that supported them.
[removed] Apps install/read request APIs and their response payloads are no longer exposed.
[removed] Thread search-occurrences APIs are removed.
[removed] Remote network proxy configuration types and launch config are removed.
[removed] Exec-server capability discovery (and its cache) is removed.
[removed] The session_end hooks event is dropped.
[removed] The CODEX_SANDBOX_NETWORK_DISABLED environment variable is no longer supported.
[changed] Client event surface now includes ack and client-message / client-message-chunk events for collaborative and realtime flows.
[changed] Thread, plugin, and realtime start/resume payloads are reshaped (field sets and related request/response types updated).
[changed] TUI chat turn handling moves onto a dedicated turn runtime path; older effort-ignition and some live-output/render helpers are retired.
[changed] OpenTelemetry export favors OTLP/HTTP; the OTLP/gRPC exporter variant is removed.
[changed] External font/CDN endpoint references are cleared out of the build.
Under the hood
Dropped the Symphonia MP3/ISO BMFF/MKV/OGG/RIFF stacks used for audio demux/decode.
Removed unused exec-server process-sandbox and execpolicy sandbox-migration modules, plus assorted state/message-history helpers (including a SQLite state path and batch history support).
MCP runtime and several app-server “installed apps” processor pieces were deleted as part of the API trim.
anyhow is pinned back to 1.0.102.
Internal models continue to converge on newer thread/item, tools, approval, and environment status types ahead of further alpha work.
Upgrade notes
If you depended on audio input (UserInput::Audio / local audio), MCP audio content, or the apps install/read APIs, switch off those flows—they are not available in this build.
Remove any use of thread search-occurrences, remote network proxy config, capability-root discovery, or the session_end hook event.
Drop CODEX_SANDBOX_NETWORK_DISABLED from your environment; configure sandbox/network behavior through supported options instead.
If you scraped OTLP over gRPC, move to OTLP/HTTP.
