CODEX SHIPS THREAD DELETION AND REALTIME SYNC, PYTHON SDK FIXES RELEASE PIPELINE

By RepoJournal · Filed · About OpenAI

Codex now permanently deletes threads with full session tree cleanup, while the Python SDK patches a broken release workflow that left v2.41.1 half-shipped.

The Codex team landed two critical infrastructure moves overnight. Thread deletion [1] now ships as a v2 app-server API with cascading cleanup of spawned subagent threads and orphaned metadata, filling a gap where clients could only archive. In parallel, realtime sessions now receive completed assistant messages [2] that were previously dropped when no active frontend-model handoff existed, fixing a disconnect where the two models presented as separate personas. The Python SDK hit a snag yesterday when the release workflow for v2.41.1 [3] failed mid-flight, bumping the version and changelog but leaving no GitHub tag, release, or PyPI package behind [4]. The fix restores `contents: write` permissions to the release job while keeping the trusted publishing split intact [5]. On the Codex CLI side, tool-suggest discovery now skips the local curated marketplace when using remote plugins [6], preventing malformed manifest reads, and external-agent import is now discoverable via slash command [7] instead of blocking startup. Test infrastructure got hardened too: subprocess cleanup now properly orphan-hunts grandchild processes after `codex exec` runs [8].
