Codex TUI now honors server model and reasoning defaults; Codex gains a stable environment tools flag

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Agentic Coding · Composed from the cited sources · methodology

Codex operators get two startup-behavior fixes plus a default-off flag for environment tool exposure, while OpenHands tightens linting against a real theme.

Use server model defaults for connected TUI fresh starts openai/codex

by copyberry

Fresh starts against a local daemon or remote server used to bootstrap with stale client model settings before reading server configuration; Codex now reads server configuration first, so managed new-thread defaults supply a model where an empty client catalog previously blocked startup. Explicit model and reasoning-effort overrides are still preserved.

Honor server reasoning summary defaults in new TUI threads openai/codex

by copyberry

New embedded TUI threads used to force reasoning summaries off when none was configured, overriding the model's default, and client settings could override the destination server's configuration. Embedded and remote thread starts now share the same launch override handling, so server configuration and model defaults decide.

Gate stable environment tool exposure behind a feature flag openai/codex

by copyberry

The new default-off stable_environment_tools flag changes what your sessions see before an executor is ready: enabled, environment-backed tools are advertised early, environment selectors stay stable as readiness changes, and the shell and login parameters are included, though execution still requires a usable environment and its policy. Disabled, tools appear only when a usable environment exi...

Recover malformed Windows deny-read ACL state safely openai/codex

by copyberry

A malformed deny_read_acl_state.json used to break deny-read ACL reconciliation on Windows. Recovery now retries the malformed read for up to two seconds, then rebuilds bookkeeping only after excluding active writers and applying current deny-read ACLs, preserving unknown historical denies and leaving linked file contents untouched.

fix(cost): price Databricks GLM aliases from the zhipuai catalog (#12673) aaif-goose/goose

by filip

Databricks GLM aliases now pull pricing from the zhipuai catalog, so your cost accounting for those models should stop reporting zero or missing rates. OpenHands additionally enabled the no-unknown-classes Tailwind lint rule at warn against Canvas's real theme, and a docs-only change records cross-repository version compatibility.
