Codex CLI 0.147.0-alpha.7

0.147.0-alpha.6→0.147.0-alpha.7·August 4, 2026 at 12:16 PM UTC

Alpha prerelease with skills-loader work, a sandbox network disable switch, and internal protocol/event cleanup.

Changelog

  • [new] Support for CODEX_SANDBOX_NETWORK_DISABLED to turn off sandbox network access via the environment.
  • [changed] Skills loading is reworked with clearer discovery, metadata, namespace, and environment handling.
  • [changed] The MCP protobuf compiler env var is now CODEX_MCP_PROTOCC (replacing CODEX_MCP_PROTOC).
  • [removed] Client ack/message stream events (Ack, ClientMessage, ClientMessageChunk) in favor of a leaner event set, including exec_command_begin.

Under the hood

  • Skills loader/parser code is consolidated under the skills crate (including discovery and metadata paths) instead of the older core-skills layout.
  • Audio preparation path is dropped from the core crate.
  • Wire/handshake and related config payloads continue to tighten (for example HostHello, managed-hooks requirements, thread metadata, and tool-choice shapes), with several unused migration and response types removed.
  • OpenTelemetry exporter wiring shifts toward OTLP/HTTP rather than OTLP/gRPC.
  • Dependency footprint shrinks slightly (including removal of color_quant).
