Codex CLI 0.156.0-alpha.8

0.156.0-alpha.7→0.156.0-alpha.8·September 19, 2026 at 6:17 PM UTC

Patch alpha release (0.156.0-alpha.7 → 0.156.0-alpha.8) with internal exec-server and TUI turn-handling work, plus removal of the exclude_slash_tmp config key.

Changelog

  • [removed] Dropped the exclude_slash_tmp configuration key.
  • [changed] TUI chat turn handling now uses a dedicated turn runtime path for managing in-progress turns.
  • [changed] Exec-server noise relay messaging uses explicit message framing; the older generated relay protobuf path is gone.

Under the hood

  • Added the headers crate for HTTP header handling.
  • Internal agent/session and tool-trace payload shapes were tightened (close/interrupt/register agent args, MCP tool-call error typing, filesystem sandbox context, and related summary types), including renames and cleanups around hooks, permissions snapshots, and process identity on macOS.
  • Client event stream naming was adjusted (message-chunk style events in place of the prior ack-oriented variant).
  • Workspace lockfile and version metadata updated for 0.156.0-alpha.8.

Upgrade notes

  • If your config still sets exclude_slash_tmp, remove it; that key is no longer recognized.
