New Features
- Realtime V2 can now stream background agent progress while work is still running and queue follow-up responses until the active response completes (#17264, #17306)
- Hook activity in the TUI is easier to scan, with live running hooks shown separately and completed hook output kept only when useful (#17266)
- Custom TUI status lines can include the renamed thread title (#17187)
- Code-mode tool declarations now include MCP
outputSchemadetails so structured tool results are typed more precisely (#17210) - SessionStart hooks can distinguish sessions created by
/clearfrom fresh startup or resume sessions (#17073)
Bug Fixes
- Fixed Windows elevated sandbox handling for split filesystem policies, including read-only carveouts under writable roots (#14568)
- Fixed sandbox permission handling for symlinked writable roots and carveouts, preventing failures in shell and
apply_patchworkflows (#15981) - Fixed
codex --remote wss://...panics by installing the Rustls crypto provider before TLS websocket connections (#17288) - Preserved tool search result ordering instead of alphabetically reordering results (#17263)
- Fixed live Stop-hook prompts so they appear immediately instead of only after thread history reloads (#17189)
- Fixed app-server MCP cleanup on disconnect so unsubscribed threads and resources are torn down correctly (#17223)
Documentation
- Documented the elevated vs restricted-token Windows sandbox support split in the core README (#14568)
- Updated app-server protocol documentation for the new
/clearSessionStart source (#17073)
Chores
- Made rollout recording more reliable by retrying failed flushes and surfacing durability failures instead of dropping buffered items (#17214)
- Added analytics schemas and metadata wiring for compaction and Guardian review events (#17155, #17055)
- Improved Guardian follow-up efficiency by sending transcript deltas instead of repeatedly resending full history (#17269)
- Added stable Guardian review IDs across app-server events and internal approval state (#17298)
