Codex CLI 0.158.0-alpha.4

0.158.0-alpha.3→0.158.0-alpha.4·September 23, 2026 at 8:17 PM UTC

Prerelease patch (0.158.0-alpha.3 → 0.158.0-alpha.4) with retained conversation-history work, a new config knob, and light TUI visual polish.

Changelog

  • [changed] Assistant-message retention in session history is reworked so retained context can carry more structure across turns.
  • [new] exclude_slash_tmp config option to control whether slash-related temp paths are excluded.
  • [changed] Empty-state animation lighting and activity-chart color palette tweaks in the TUI for clearer idle/analytics presentation.

Under the hood

  • New history support for retained assistant messages, with an expanded retained-context model.
  • TUI analytics and empty-state animation internals split out palette and lighting helpers for those UI surfaces.
  • Small internal API/model churn (workspace usage counting, model list responses, announcement tips, and related client types) without a broader documented feature surface in this tag.
