Codex CLI 0.157.0-alpha.2 changelog - what changed

Under the hood

Skills gained a dedicated cloud-skills path and dropped the previous provider orchestrator module, tightening how cloud-oriented skills are loaded and run.
The TUI now has explicit handling for dynamic tool responses, so tool round-trips can be represented more cleanly in the chat UI.
Analytics activity-chart styling picked up a dedicated palette module for more consistent chart colors.
Config and protocol models were reshuffled in place (including a slightly expanded ConfigToml surface and refreshed types around apps, MCP attribution, thread goals/background terminals, credits nudges, and related notifications).
Hook configuration now distinguishes prompt-style handlers more clearly from agent/memory-oriented hook handlers.
Workspace dependency locks were refreshed for this alpha tag.
