Codex CLI 0.153.0-alpha.5 changelog - what changed

[changed] codex plugin add can install from a configured or remote marketplace (no longer limited to configured marketplace snapshots).
[changed] codex plugin list lists plugins from configured and remote marketplaces.
[changed] codex plugin remove is described and framed as uninstalling a plugin and clearing its local cache.
[changed] Plugin --marketplace / -m help text refers to a marketplace name generally (not only a “configured” snapshot name).
[changed] Fish and zsh completions follow the updated plugin subcommand wording.
[new] Async user-input tool path (request_user_input) replaces the previous send-user-message async handler for prompting the user mid-run.
[new] Optional exclude_slash_tmp configuration key for controlling slash-tmp exclusion behavior.

Under the hood

App-server support for reloading plugin configuration without a full restart cycle.
Tracking of executed tool calls and richer agent message / item payloads for turn and tool reporting.
Unified exec shell snapshot support for more reliable shell state around command runs.
Expanded plugin and marketplace data models (manifests, install args, pagination, share principals, hook summaries) to back remote marketplace flows.
Broader network-requirement and remote proxy configuration shapes, including header-injection settings.
Thread compatibility, usage, and token-usage profile models extended; background-terminal listing and collab wait-end signaling refined.
Hook handler configuration widened (agent and command-style handlers).
Removal of the realtime-history presentation path and the exec-server relay proto/framing stack in favor of simpler runtime surfaces.
Dependency and lockfile refresh aligned with the 0.153.0-alpha.5 version bump.
