CODEX OVERHAULS GOAL STEERING AND MODEL TOOL SELECTION

By RepoJournal · Filed · About OpenAI

Goal steering now routes through the same injection path as runtime steering, while models gain explicit tool-mode control independent of legacy feature flags.

The core steering infrastructure shifted overnight with a unified injection approach that treats active-turn goal steering as a first-class runtime operation [1]. This lands on top of recent work moving goal steering onto source-labeled context fragments, meaning your model's steering directives now follow the same queuing rules as everything else flowing through the session. Separately, models can now declare their code-execution behavior through catalog metadata rather than relying on client-side feature flags [2], a critical move for heterogeneous deployments where different models need different execution modes. The config layer got cleaner too, with document-handling helpers moved into their own module [5], reducing cognitive load when scanning the config edit state machine. On the observability front, standalone web search calls now emit proper activity telemetry [3], so you'll see search progress in the extension the same way you see it everywhere else. An experimental toggle lets teams opt out of request_user_input at the config level [4], giving you finer control over which tools get input-request behavior.
