Alpha patch release (0.156.0-alpha.10 → 0.156.0-alpha.12) focused on TUI polish: a /tui command, clearer shortcut help, and markdown rendering fixes.
Changelog
[new] Added a /tui slash command for working with the terminal UI from the chat surface.
[new] Introduced a TUI mode picker so you can choose how the interface is presented more directly in-app.
[changed] Replaced the old bottom-pane shortcut overlay with a dedicated shortcut help experience, making key bindings easier to discover and read.
[changed] Improved markdown rendering in the TUI, including list spacing and how web links are handled.
[removed] Dropped the previous empty-state lighting animation path as part of cleaning up the startup/empty view presentation.
[changed] Renamed the CI environment flag from CODEX_CIW to CODEX_CI for continuous-integration runs.
Under the hood
TUI internals were reorganized around the new shortcut-help and mode-picker modules, with related bottom-pane overlay code retired.
Markdown rendering gained focused helpers for list spacing and web links rather than relying on the previous ad-hoc paths.
Protocol and config model types were tightened (including app summary / model-hint style payloads and managed-config shapes), and several unused or superseded request/response types were removed.
Client event naming shifted toward an ack-style Codex event in place of the older client-message variant, aligning trace and session signaling with current handlers.
Hook configuration now distinguishes command-style and prompt-style handlers more cleanly; related delegate/tool-trace and login-parameter variants were reshaped accordingly (including removal of the Amazon Bedrock access-key login parameter path in favor of the current API-key flow).
