oh-my-codex v0.18.5

0.18.5 is a patch release after 0.18.4 for the Ultragoal/HUD operator-experience fixes that landed on dev. It focuses on making durable Ultragoal completion safer and more visible: HUD summaries are more compact and less duplicative, pane convergence is more reliable, omx question preserves operator decisions, doctor warning copy is narrower, and final Ultragoal completion now requires independent review evidence.

Highlights

• Ultragoal completion requires stronger final review evidence — final aggregate completion now requires independent code-reviewer and architect subagent evidence before the Codex goal can be marked complete.
• Ultragoal HUD is easier to read during long runs — summaries are compact, duplicate combined team/Ultragoal summaries are suppressed, and HUD output can show useful next-item context beyond the active item.
• HUD pane convergence is more reliable — Team/Ultragoal HUD panes no longer duplicate, and convergence still works when pane environment variables are missing.
• Autopilot question handling preserves decisions — omx question/deep-interview waiting keeps explicit user decisions intact while Autopilot intake is paused for operator input.
• Doctor warning copy is narrower — shared skill-root warnings are scoped to the ownership boundary that actually matters.
• Codex goal storage gaps are clearer — Ultragoal status reports unavailable Codex goal storage as recovery evidence rather than implying the durable plan is complete.

Fixes / compatibility

• Existing Ultragoal aggregate plans continue to use the durable .omx/ultragoal/goals.json and .omx/ultragoal/ledger.jsonl audit trail.
• omx explore remains deprecated for new lookup guidance; this release keeps the post-0.18.4 runtime contract intact.
• No separately closed GitHub issues were found for this release window; the scope is represented by the merged PR inventory.
