codex

New Features

• Code mode can now call standalone web search directly, including from nested JavaScript tool calls, and receive plaintext search results. (#26719)
• Tool and connector input schemas now preserve oneOf and allOf, and large schemas keep more shallow structure when compacted, improving compatibility with richer MCP tools. (#24118, #27084)
• codex doctor now includes editor and pager environment details in the local report while redacting raw values in JSON output. (#27081)
• Plugin marketplace automation is more informative and responsive: codex plugin marketplace list --json now includes each marketplace source, and plugin lists can return from the cached remote catalog before refreshing in the background. (#27009, #26932)

Bug Fixes

• codex resume --last "..." and codex fork --last "..." now treat the trailing argument as the initial prompt instead of misreading it as a session ID. (#26818)
• MCP startup warnings from subagents now stay in the thread that owns them, avoiding duplicate parent-thread alerts and stuck startup spinners in the TUI. (#26639)
• Image edits now use the exact referenced image file paths instead of guessing from conversation history, so attached-image edits land on the intended input. (#26486)
• Bare URLs with ~ in the path are now linkified end to end in the TUI instead of being truncated before the tilde. (#27088)
• Thread resets such as /new, /clear, and /fork no longer drop cloud-managed requirements or feature flags during TUI config reloads. (#25177)
• Sandbox execution now preserves approved escalation decisions and enforces configured proxy-only networking more consistently. (#24981, #27035)

Chores

• Release builds once again publish separate symbol archives with line tables, improving post-release crash symbolication without bringing back the earlier full-debug build slowdown. (#26202)
• The embedded V8 toolchain was updated to rusty_v8 149.2.0. (#26464)
