Codex CLI 0.145.0-alpha.8

0.145.0-alpha.7→0.145.0-alpha.8·July 14, 2026 at 2:16 AM UTC

Alpha patch release that reworks external-agent migration/import and lands assorted protocol, skills, and TUI runtime groundwork.

Changelog

  • [changed] External agent migration and session import are reorganized into a dedicated migration flow (config detection, import, and related session handling consolidated).
  • [changed] Command execution and file-change progress can be reported via output-delta notifications.
  • [changed] Web search end events and search item payloads are refined.
  • [new] Thread lifecycle surfaces include a thread-started notification and a loaded-thread list response.
  • [new] Command runs emit an exec_command_begin event when execution starts.
  • [new] Marketplace load failures can carry structured error info; Homebrew cask metadata is modeled for install-related flows.
  • [changed] Account token-usage daily bucketing and related usage models are updated.
  • [changed] MCP resource-read responses and prompts capability reporting are tightened up.
  • [removed] The previous standalone external-agent sessions packaging path is gone in favor of the migration module layout.

Under the hood

  • Session ledger/title helpers and app-server migration processors live under the external-agent migration subsystem; the old external-agent-sessions crate is removed.
  • Skills gain a host provider path and an internal shadow-selection experiment hook.
  • Thread store adds local model-context support; the TUI chat widget introduces a turn runtime module.
  • App/server notification and request payloads continue to expand (plugins/marketplace, realtime thread SDP/status, process/PTY, goals, permissions, and related envelopes).
  • Dependency and version lockfiles are bumped for 0.145.0-alpha.8.
