Codex CLI 0.147.0-alpha.3

0.147.0-alpha.2→0.147.0-alpha.3·July 31, 2026 at 4:17 PM UTC

Patch alpha release: finishes removal of the legacy --full-auto flag on codex exec, drops several unused config keys and the minimal reasoning effort level, and trims internal dependencies and protocol surface.

Changelog

  • [removed] Fully drop the legacy --full-auto compatibility flag from codex exec (including resume and review). Shell completions no longer offer it.
  • [removed] Remove the minimal reasoning effort level.
  • [removed] Drop unused config keys: model_context_window, model_reasoning_summary, model_verbosity, exclude_slash_tmp, and exclude_tmpdir_env_var.
  • [changed] Streamline exec/MCP event and tool-call payloads (including richer MCP tool-call begin/end items) and add a collab_waiting_end collaboration event while retiring several older turn/exec lifecycle events.

Under the hood

  • Remove the v8 and ts-rs dependencies.
  • Continue winding down code-mode host/session runtime pieces and related env surface.
  • Add focused internals for JSONL exec event processing, MCP extension event sinking, executed tool-call modeling, and sandbox violation handling.
  • Slim the app-server/protocol and typed-payload surface (fewer stale request/response and notification types) as part of ongoing API cleanup.

Upgrade notes

  • Scripts or wrappers that still pass --full-auto to codex exec need to stop; use the current sandbox/approval flags instead.
  • If your config still sets model_context_window, model_reasoning_summary, model_verbosity, exclude_slash_tmp, exclude_tmpdir_env_var, or reasoning effort minimal, remove or replace those settings before upgrading.
