Full changelog
oh-my-codex v0.18.16
Release status: published. Publication proof is recorded in
docs/qa/release-readiness-0.18.16.md, including dev/main CI, tag workflow, GitHub release, native asset, and npmlatestevidence.
0.18.16 is a patch release after 0.18.15 focused on local-session diagnostics, stale HUD/Ralph guard cleanup, and safer doctor artifact ownership warnings. It preserves the existing CLI/package contract while tightening developer-facing failure reporting and stale-state behavior from the current origin/dev delta.
Highlights
- Local session friction reporting is available —
omx session frictioncan surface local run/session friction signals so resume and debugging workflows have more actionable history. - Stale HUD and Ralph continuation state is guarded — HUD review status and Ralph Stop continuation handling avoid carrying stale review/stop signals across later workflow phases.
- Doctor artifact ownership diagnostics are safer —
omx doctordetects root-owned repository artifacts more clearly without over-warning on normal local files.
Fixes and compatibility notes
- The release remains a patch release: package layout, CLI entrypoint, plugin manifest shape, and Cargo workspace package contract are unchanged.
- Root/package/plugin/Cargo metadata are bumped to
0.18.16. - Session-search help and tests cover the local friction report surface.
- Native Stop hook coverage guards against stale Ralph stop continuations.
