CODEX STABILIZES LEGACY CHECKPOINTS WHILE PYTHON SDK SHIFTS TO GPT-5.5

Codex shipped a compatibility fix for older persisted rollouts that were breaking resume workflows, while the Python SDK quietly updated all README examples to point at the next-generation models.

The Codex team fixed a deserialization issue where legacy `input_image.detail` values from before the enum was narrowed were causing resume to skip checkpoints and reconstruct oversized suffixes [1]. This fix addresses confirmed Sentry reports and prevents compaction failures in production. In parallel, Codex continues its modularization push: slash-command logic moved out of the chat composer to prevent file bloat [2], MCP tool naming is now centralized in the manager to keep `ToolInfo` as the single source of truth [3], and goal telemetry parity was added as the `/goal` endpoint migrates into the extension system to preserve existing metric contracts [4]. The Python SDK updated all README snippets to reference `gpt-5.5` and `gpt-realtime-2` [6], signaling these are now the canonical examples developers should reference. Codex also added experimental `additionalContext` support to turn endpoints, allowing clients to pass ephemeral external state without surfacing it in prompts or triggering lifecycle behavior [5].
