CODEX PATCHES WEBSOCKET LOGGING LEAK

By RepoJournal · Filed · About OpenAI

Full request payloads were bleeding into trace logs across WebSocket connections, and Codex 0.142.5 just plugged it.

Codex shipped an emergency patch [1] that prevents complete Response objects from being written to trace logs during WebSocket operations. This follows an earlier fix [2] that caught one trace statement, but a second unfiltered log point was still leaking full payloads into observability pipelines. The fix is already backported to the 0.142 release line [1], so if you're running production Codex instances on that channel, the patch is ready now. In parallel, the team updated safety notice wording in the TUI biosafety block [3] to remove outdated copy about Trusted Access applications. Alpha builds continue rolling forward with 0.143.0-alpha.32 [4] available for testing.
