Codex CLI 0.152.0-alpha.1

0.151.0→0.152.0-alpha.1·August 29, 2026 at 12:17 PM UTC

Alpha pre-release (0.152.0-alpha.1) with early work on Amazon Bedrock accounts, auth recovery, plugin sharing, and exec/sandbox/TUI runtime hardening ahead of 0.152.0.

Changelog

  • [new] Amazon Bedrock account type and login parameters so Bedrock can be selected as an account path.
  • [new] Auth recovery events and notifications for guiding re-authentication when a session needs it.
  • [new] Plugin sharing models (share context and principal) for describing who a plugin is shared with and under what context.
  • [new] macOS computer-use configuration surface for computer-use setups on Mac.
  • [new] Sleep tool TOML configuration for controlling sleep-tool behavior.
  • [new] Collaboration “waiting end” signaling when a collab wait completes.
  • [new] Token usage profile and account token-usage summary types for richer usage reporting.
  • [new] Thread search result payload for returning matched threads from search.
  • [new] Turn steer response support for steering an in-flight turn.
  • [changed] Environments snapshot and status reporting expanded (broader environment state in snapshots).
  • [changed] Multi-agent mode message payloads carry additional fields.
  • [changed] Spawn-agent arguments reshaped ( leaner arg set for agent spawn).
  • [changed] Thread shell-command parameters extended.
  • [changed] Realtime conversation start transport updated (existing-call path emphasized over the previous WebRTC variant).
  • [changed] Hook handler configuration recognizes agent and MCP tool-hook handler forms.
  • [changed] MCP elicitation requests include an OpenAI elicitation form variant.
  • [removed] exclude_slash_tmp config key.
  • [removed] Dedicated apply-patch instructions prompt content.

Under the hood

  • Codex home metrics collection on the app server for home-directory–scoped telemetry.
  • Code-mode tool telemetry hooks for better visibility into code-mode tool use.
  • Exec-server remote registration retry logic for more resilient remote registration.
  • Exec-server environment knobs refined around stdin-close exit behavior, Noise/ChatGPT account id wiring, and URL/RPC endpoint configuration.
  • MCP client WWW-Authenticate handling relocated/simplified as its own module path; related MCP protocol version / protoc-oriented env wiring adjusted.
  • Seekable rollout reader for more flexible rollout log reads (including seeking within rollout data).
  • Sandbox terminal query support for inspecting terminal state under sandboxing.
  • TUI app-server session model helpers and chat turn runtime support for clearer session/turn lifecycle handling in the UI.
  • Permission- and plugin-metrics–related environment options introduced or renamed for clearer control of permissions and metrics output.
  • App-server realtime history path removed in favor of newer realtime/conversation event shapes (including ack-style client events and auth-recovery payloads).
  • Exec-server noise-relay message framing module removed as that path was reworked.
  • Dependency locks and version metadata switched to the alpha channel for 0.152.0-alpha.1.

Upgrade notes

  • If you still set exclude_slash_tmp in config, remove it; the key is no longer recognized.
  • This build is an alpha (0.152.0-alpha.1), not a stable patch on 0.151.0. Prefer it only if you intend to try pre-release behavior; pin back to 0.151.0 for production-stable use.
  • Exec-server and MCP-related environment variable names were adjusted in this alpha—double-check any automation that exports CODEX_EXEC_SERVER_*, CODEX_MCP_*, CODEX_PERMISSION, or plugin metrics output variables before upgrading wrappers or CI.
