Codex CLI 0.148.0-alpha.22

0.148.0-alpha.21→0.148.0-alpha.22·August 18, 2026 at 2:17 PM UTC

Alpha release focused on multi-agent session management: browse shared app-server agents, queue messages into existing sessions, and related TUI/CLI polish.

Changelog

  • [new] codex agents — browse all agent sessions on the shared local app-server daemon (with remote app-server connection options). Shell completions include the new command.
  • [new] codex queue — queue a message for an existing session by thread id/name (--thread, --message), with the usual model, sandbox, image, profile, and remote flags. Completions cover bash, fish, and zsh.
  • [new] /agents slash command in the TUI (replaces /agent) plus an agents overview UI for working across sessions on the shared daemon.
  • [new] In-session queue controls in the TUI so you can add work to a running thread without starting a new session.
  • [new] Connector mentions in the chat UI for referencing connectors more directly while prompting.
  • [new] exclude_slash_tmp config key for controlling temporary slash-command path behavior.
  • [changed] Contributing guide — community input is welcomed through the openai/codex issue tracker (bugs, analysis, feature requests). External code contributions and pull requests are not accepted; security reports go through the security policy.
  • [changed] Filesystem sandbox path model — path entries support explicit path, glob pattern, and special forms for richer managed sandbox policy.
  • [changed] Recommended plugins / marketplace payloads and install flow refined (including recommended-plugin install handling).
  • [changed] MCP resource reads carry resource origin metadata (with checkpointing) for clearer provenance when serving resources.
  • [fix] Pager overlay scrolling and code-fence streaming behavior in the TUI.
  • [new] codex doctor desktop checks for local desktop/runtime health diagnostics.

Under the hood

  • App-server support for persisted resume settings, thread queue notifications/responses, and stricter review-required notifications.
  • Apps surfaces gain installed/read response types and related tool summaries for marketplace/app tooling.
  • RMCP client gains HTTP redirect handling; rmcp moves to 3.1.2 and h2 to 0.4.16.
  • Hook configuration can target agent and command handlers more explicitly; login/account and conversation-summary parameter shapes were tightened.
  • Additional runtime/environment knobs, including sandbox network disable and multi-session id handling, plus an OPENAI_CLUSTER env group for clustered deployments.
  • Internal cleanup around legacy thread-config plumbing in favor of the current session/queue paths.
  • Shell completion scripts and version metadata updated for 0.148.0-alpha.22.

Upgrade notes

  • Prefer /agents (and codex agents) over the old /agent name.
  • If you automate against session env vars, note the shift toward session id list handling (CODEX_SESSION_IDS) rather than a single session id.
  • Contributors: open issues for bugs and proposals; do not send unsolicited PRs—see the updated contributing docs.
