CODEX KILLS LEGACY HOOKS AND SIMPLIFIES TOOL DISPATCH

Dead code came off the critical path overnight—Codex ripped out the unused AfterToolUse hook infrastructure that was still firing on every tool execution, then consolidated apply_patch onto a single freeform surface.

The AfterToolUse hook system [1] was a phantom menace: the registry never populated handlers for it, but the dispatch logic stayed wired through core tool execution anyway. That's gone now, along with the unused payload types. Simultaneously, apply_patch just lost its function-style JSON registration path [2]—models and tests can no longer invoke it the old way, leaving only the freeform implementation as truth. This consolidation matters because tool identity was bleeding into string comparisons; ToolName.display() has been removed [3] in favor of structural ordering that forces teams to compare tool identity properly, not by rendered spelling. The desktop app-server can now request and attach DeviceCheck attestation tokens [4] for scoped ChatGPT Codex requests. One note: the Python runtime wheel publishing got reverted [5], so don't expect those binaries from the latest release tag.
