Codex CLI 0.155.0-alpha.8

0.155.0-alpha.7→0.155.0-alpha.8·September 16, 2026 at 12:17 AM UTC

Alpha patch release: adds a TUI analytics dashboard (usage, activity, plans, and tasks), expands backend usage/profile APIs, and adds a --restore-release option on the app-server daemon pid-update loop.

Changelog

  • [new] Analytics views in the TUI, including a dashboard with activity charts, chat/plan/task panels, and summary sections for exploring usage and session activity.
  • [new] Backend client support for analytics sessions, plan history, account profile, and task usage data that feeds those views.
  • [new] codex app-server daemon pid-update-loop --restore-release to authorize a one-time production restoration of a selected release (shell completions updated for bash and zsh).
  • [new] exclude_slash_tmp configuration key.
  • [changed] Token usage charting in the chat widget is replaced by the broader analytics subsystem (turn_runtime and related analytics modules).
  • [changed] Account, profile, plugin directory, and user-message payloads carry richer fields (profiles, credit/plan usage, workspace and skill metrics, and related summaries).

Under the hood

  • Guardian reviewer configuration and guardian warning notifications land as groundwork for review flows.
  • App-server daemon process identity handling is expanded (including platform-specific pid records) for more reliable daemon ownership checks.
  • Usage and billing-oriented response types are added across the backend client: credit usage series, daily product-surface and workspace counts, skill and plugin usage metrics, plan limit history/breakdowns, and task usage responses.
  • Collaboration-mode listing, experimental feature metadata, thread search/usage estimate payloads, and related client events are extended; several narrower legacy requirement and response types are dropped or folded into the newer models.
  • Environment and install-related CODEX_* flags are refreshed (desktop/IDE/work surfaces and install paths); CODEX_SANDBOX_NETWORK_DISABLED is removed from the recognized set.
  • Dependency cleanup: event-listener-strategy is no longer bundled.

Upgrade notes

  • If you relied on CODEX_SANDBOX_NETWORK_DISABLED, switch to the current sandbox/network controls; that env var is no longer present.
  • Shell completions pick up --restore-release on pid-update-loop; refresh installed completions if you use them.
  • Config consumers can optionally set exclude_slash_tmp where temporary slash-command paths should be omitted.
