openai/codex rust-v0.106.0

0.106.0

on GitHub

New Features

• Added a direct install script for macOS and Linux and publish it as a GitHub release asset, using the existing platform payload (including codex and rg) (#12740)
• Expanded the app-server v2 thread API with experimental thread-scoped realtime endpoints/notifications and a thread/unsubscribe flow to unload live threads without archiving them (#12715, #10954)
• Promoted js_repl to /experimental, added startup compatibility checks with user-visible warnings, and lowered the validated minimum Node version to 22.22.0 (#12712, #12824, #12857)
• Enabled request_user_input in Default collaboration mode (not just Plan mode) (#12735)
• Made 5.3-codex visible in the CLI model list for API users (#12808)
• Improved memory behavior with diff-based forgetting and usage-aware memory selection (#12900, #12909)

Bug Fixes

• Improved realtime websocket reliability by retrying timeout-related HTTP 400 handshake failures and preferring WebSocket v2 when supported by the selected model (#12791, #12838)
• Fixed a zsh-fork shell execution path that could drop sandbox wrappers and bypass expected filesystem restrictions (#12800)
• Added a shared ~1M-character input size cap in the TUI and app-server to prevent hangs/crashes on oversized pastes, with explicit error responses (#12823)
• Improved TUI local file-link rendering to hide absolute paths while preserving visible line/column references (#12705, #12870)
• Fixed Ctrl-C handling for sub-agents in the TUI (#12911)

Documentation

• Fixed a stale sign-in success link in the auth/onboarding flow (#12805)
• Clarified the CLI login hint for remote/device-auth login scenarios (#12813)

Chores

• Added structured OTEL audit logging for embedded codex-network-proxy policy decisions and blocks (#12046)
• Removed the steer feature flag and standardized on the always-on steer path in the TUI composer (#12026)
• Reduced sub-agent startup overhead by skipping expensive history metadata scans for subagent spawns (#12918)
