Codex can now edit files across different operating systems and automatically escalates sandbox blocks before they fail in production.

The biggest win today is PathUri support [1], which lets the model edit files hosted on different OSes than where app-server runs. This unlocks a core scenario: remote development where client and server live on different platforms. Paired with that, Codex now handles cross-platform relative paths intelligently, converting only when the inferred path convention matches the host OS. On the safety side, auto-review just got sharper [2]. The on-request approval policy is now tuned separately for auto-reviewed runs, escalating likely sandbox blocks earlier so commands needing remote services or auth don't hang or fail inside the sandbox first. Infrastructure-wise, Codex added turn-scoped context contributions [3], splitting context injection into thread-scoped and turn-scoped methods so extensions can pull from turn-local state. The team also cleaned house, removing the disabled child_agents_md experiment [5] to cut prompt and config surface, and wired in external time source support [4] for sessions that need thread-specific clock handling.
