oh-my-codex v0.16.3

0.16.3 is a post-0.16.2 reliability release for Codex native-hook setup, Team/Ralph runtime state boundaries, approved handoff context, planning context-pack guidance, and release-review blocker fixes discovered before promotion.

Highlights

• Codex native-hook setup is aligned with the supported feature flag — generated setup/runtime config now emits and migrates to [features].codex_hooks = true, removes stale unsupported hooks = true aliases inside the features table, preserves user-owned hook state, and keeps project runtime CODEX_HOME hook trust pointed at the mirrored runtime hooks.json.
• User-owned notification hooks are safer across setup/uninstall — project setup with notifyCommand: false preserves non-OMX notify commands, managed notify detection no longer relies on basename-only matches, uninstall keeps user hook enablement intact, and Windows/global install hook commands avoid unsafe self-updates.
• Team, planning, and approved handoffs are more durable — approved handoff context is surfaced to workers, ready context-pack role references are exposed, symbolic Team launch signatures survive planning, role-agnostic approved hints are preserved, and Team startup-evidence tests now isolate local state roots from global OMX state.
• Ralph/autoresearch/native compact hooks avoid stale or malformed lifecycle behavior — stale Ralph sessions no longer auto-resume, blocked autoresearch Stop reconciliation is explicit, and PreCompact/PostCompact native hook output remains valid JSON.
