Codex CLI 0.155.0-alpha.16

0.155.0-alpha.15→0.155.0-alpha.16·September 17, 2026 at 6:16 AM UTC

Patch alpha release: add --no-daemon so Codex can run without the shared background server, plus shell completion and internal TUI/history groundwork.

Changelog

  • [new] --no-daemon — Run Codex without the shared background server, even when one is already running. Supported on the main CLI and on resume / fork. The agents overview still needs the shared server, so the flag is rejected there.
  • [changed] Shell completions — bash, fish, and zsh completions include --no-daemon and its help text for the relevant commands.
  • [removed] exclude_slash_tmp config key — This configuration option is no longer recognized.

Under the hood

  • Realtime history presentation work in core for how session history is shaped for display.
  • Chat composer updates in the TUI, including new sparkle field support in the bottom pane.
  • TUI chat keymap model expanded; several internal config and payload types (analytics, context management, goals, profile invocation, and related snapshots) were reshaped.
  • Client messaging and error/event paths adjusted (including TUI suspend-failure handling), along with routine dependency lockfile churn.
