Codex CLI 0.158.0-alpha.6

0.158.0-alpha.5→0.158.0-alpha.6·September 24, 2026 at 12:17 AM UTC

Patch alpha (0.158.0-alpha.5 → 0.158.0-alpha.6) focused on exec-server capability discovery, MCP resource handling, and realtime history presentation, plus supporting model and TUI groundwork.

Changelog

  • [new] Exec-server capability discovery (discover v2): locate and watch capabilities, including roots/location responses used when probing what the environment can do.
  • [new] MCP resource-spec tool handler for working with MCP resource specifications in the tool path.
  • [new] Realtime history presentation support for how live session history is shaped for display.
  • [changed] Hook configuration recognizes a clearer set of handler kinds (agent, command, MCP tool, and prompt), including matching metadata.
  • [changed] Account login modeling includes an Amazon Bedrock path alongside existing auth options.
  • [changed] Gateway OAuth delivery prefers bearer tokens via header rather than cookie-based delivery.
  • [changed] Scheduled tasks can use a weekly schedule (replacing the prior weekdays-oriented schedule variant).
  • [changed] TUI analytics activity chart gains an explicit color palette for the activity view.

Under the hood

  • New exec-server discover-v2 surface area (capability manager, location candidates, and watchers) with response types such as capability-location and discover-capabilities payloads.
  • Broader filesystem helper/wire responses (canonicalize, open, metadata) and related helper request typing.
  • Plugin and skill-oriented data models (ExecutorPlugin, ExecutorSkill, installed-plugin summaries) for describing executor extensions.
  • Additional API-shaped payloads for agent list/interrupt, command exec, credit-usage events, project config, tool choice, and login cancel, among others.
  • Event/ack adjustments around active-server acknowledgement and command spawn failure signaling; trace/tool-summary enums refined (including generic tool-call summary and runtime-ended trace payload).
  • Removal of the older exec-server relay protobuf/framing path and the prior tools catalog-parameters module in favor of the newer layout.
  • Version metadata and dependency locks bumped to 0.158.0-alpha.6.
