oh-my-codex v0.18.3

0.18.3 is a patch release after 0.18.2 for the post-release reliability and operator-experience train on dev. It focuses on HUD/tmux lifecycle cleanup, Team diff readability, auth slot hot-swap support, visible explore prompt syntax guidance, deep-interview runtime configuration and handoff authority, plugin-owned hook preservation, and the new Scholastic ontology reviewer agent.

Highlights

• HUD panes are less stale and less duplicated — HUD launch/reconcile now coalesces same-leader panes, preserves session ownership, reaps dead-leader panes, and reuses the existing HUD during UserPromptSubmit revive.
• Team diff output is easier to review — wrapped multi-line diff hunks preserve the diff gutter so long patches remain readable in tmux panes.
• Deep-interview is more configurable and safer to hand off — runtime config overrides are supported, and plan_then_execute downstream authority is enforced as a binding gate.
• Auth slots can be hot-swapped more safely — the release includes the auth slot hot-swap wrapper work from the final dev delta.
• Explore runtime guidance keeps prompt syntax visible — prompt syntax remains visible in runtime guidance so operators do not lose invocation shape while using omx explore.
• Plugin-owned hooks are respected — Codex setup paths preserve plugin-owned hooks instead of overwriting user/plugin surfaces.
• Scholastic ontology review is available — a first-class Scholastic reviewer agent is added to the agent catalog and native config surface.

Fixes / compatibility

• HUD ownership and tmux reconciliation fixes reduce cross-worktree accumulation and stale session-id/env drift.
• Team hunk rendering keeps gutters on wrapped multi-line diffs.
• Setup and native hook paths preserve plugin ownership boundaries while still warning on invalid/missing coverage.
• Deep-interview and ralplan guidance now encode stricter downstream execution authority and runtime override behavior.
• Auth slot wrapper and explore prompt-guidance fixes from the rebased dev head are included in this cut.

Validation

• npm run lint
• npm run check:no-unused
• npm run test
• Project-native targeted changed-area tests rerun twice through dist/scripts/run-test-files.js
• Adversarial release harness for malformed state, prompt-injection, interruption/cancel wording, hung child process, misleading success output, and no-tag side-effect guard
• npm pack --dry-run

Accepted residual risk: cargo test has one known failing omx-explore process-group timeout cleanup assertion, waived by release-owner direction for this cut and recorded in docs/qa/release-readiness-0.18.3.md.
