Codex CLI 0.147.0-alpha.6

• [new] Added --approve-for-me to route approval requests through automatic review under the workspace-write sandbox. Available on the main CLI and on exec, resume, fork, archive, delete, and unarchive (shell completions updated).
• [new] Plugin search support in the app-server / plugins path, including remote search handling.
• [new] Thread sections: create, update, and delete APIs for organizing thread content.
• [new] TUI keymap chords for multi-key bindings.
• [new] Client messaging events (Ack, ClientMessage, ClientMessageChunk) for richer bidirectional client communication.
• [changed] Request-user-input tooling reworked onto updated wire/tool argument shapes (previous dedicated handler/spec path removed).
• [changed] Token usage and rate-limit reporting expanded (richer usage profiles, daily buckets, and credits reset details).
• [changed] Realtime thread start parameters and account-login notifications carry additional fields.
• [changed] MCP server config model extended (including migration helpers and broader raw server config).
• [fixed] Corrected misspelled environment variables: CODEX_EXEC_SERVER_EXIT_ON_STDIN_CLOSE and CODEX_MCP_PROTOC (previous …CLOSEC / …PROTOCC names dropped).
• [changed] CI/workspace proxy configuration now uses the CODEX_CIWS family (CODEX_CIWS_PROXY); the older CODEX_CI name is removed.

Under the hood

• Exec-server gains clearer request dispatch and noise-relay message framing, improving how framed traffic is handled on the wire.
• Shared git process helpers land in git-utils for more consistent subprocess handling.
• Thread-section state is wired through app-server, runtime state, and local thread-store layers.
• Collaboration lifecycle signaling includes collab_waiting_end.
• Hook configuration moves toward an agent-hooks handler model; in-memory thread-store option is dropped in favor of the local store path.
• Dependencies include wildmatch and color_quant for matching and image-related support paths.
• Internal cleanup removes unused apply-patch and JSONL event-processor modules in favor of current code paths.

Upgrade notes

• If you relied on CODEX_EXEC_SERVER_EXIT_ON_STDIN_CLOSEC or CODEX_MCP_PROTOCC, switch to CODEX_EXEC_SERVER_EXIT_ON_STDIN_CLOSE and CODEX_MCP_PROTOC.
• Replace any CODEX_CI usage with the CODEX_CIWS / CODEX_CIWS_PROXY configuration.
• --approve-for-me is mutually exclusive with the usual sandbox / ask-for-approval / full bypass flags—pick one approval posture per invocation.
• Integrations that spoke the old request-user-input payload shapes should adopt the updated wire/tool argument types.
