Codex CLI 0.157.0-alpha.8

0.157.0-alpha.7→0.157.0-alpha.8·September 22, 2026 at 2:17 PM UTC

Alpha pre-release (0.157.0-alpha.8) with gateway OAuth account work, richer plugin and agent-control surfaces, and assorted app-server/TUI groundwork.

Changelog

  • [new] Gateway OAuth account flows: login, read, and cancel requests, plus change notifications so the app-server can track gateway auth state more cleanly.
  • [new] Agent control paths for spawn requests, resume, listing agents, and closing an agent.
  • [new] Expanded plugin model: richer summaries, icons, settings, quick actions, search providers, recommended install args, and entrypoints (file, global, settings, thread).
  • [new] App and account surfaces: installed-app listing/update notifications and an account token-usage summary.
  • [new] Thread lifecycle notifications for queue changes and unarchiving, plus realtime voice listing support.
  • [new] Hook configuration can target agent, MCP tool, command, and prompt handlers.
  • [changed] MCP resource read parameters and initialize capabilities carry additional fields.
  • [changed] Gateway OAuth delivery prefers header bearer auth over the previous cookie-based path.
  • [changed] Experimental-feature and skills/config write payloads are shaped for the current plugin/skills stack.
  • [removed] Older workspace-routing path in the model-provider stack, along with several superseded account, goals, and thread-usage response types.

Under the hood

  • New app-server modules for gateway OAuth request handling and notifications.
  • Core agent-control modules for resume and spawn-request handling.
  • TUI analytics activity-chart palette support.
  • Dependency refresh (including event-listener-strategy; color_quant dropped).
  • Version metadata bumped to 0.157.0-alpha.8 / rust-v0.157.0-alpha.8.

Upgrade notes

  • Alpha only: gateway OAuth, plugin, and agent-control protocol shapes moved in this build—clients and integrations that speak those APIs should re-verify against this tag before relying on them.
