CODEX CLEANS UP LOGGING, DROPS LEGACY CONFIG SURFACE

By RepoJournal · Filed · About OpenAI · Composed from the cited sources · methodology

Windows sandbox logs now roll daily instead of growing unbounded, while the CLI finally stops pretending you can cross-compile sandboxes.

Codex shipped five infrastructure fixes overnight, three of them closing long-standing operational gaps. The Windows sandbox logger [1] now rotates daily with bounded file retention, solving the problem of diagnostic logs ballooning across feedback reports. The TUI stopped dumping logs to disk by default [2], making that file an explicit troubleshooting opt-in instead of a side effect that grows forever. On the config side, the app-server protocol [3] dropped the legacy profile table surface entirely after the CLI already ditched it, cleaning up conversion code that nobody uses. The sandbox command [4] infers your host OS now, collapsing the redundant `codex sandbox linux/macos/windows` ceremony into a single `codex sandbox` that just works. A new enterprise gate was wired into the validation chain [5], though one test is still surfacing a stack overflow in the in-process handler that needs investigation.
