CODEX SHIPS PAGINATED HISTORY INHERITANCE FOR SUBAGENTS

Codex now preserves conversation context when spawning child agents, fixing a critical gap in multi-agent workflows where history was getting lost on fork.

The headline feature is paginated history inheritance [1], which lets spawned subagents inherit their parent's full conversation context without reimporting the entire model state. This solves a real production problem: agents spawning agents were starting from scratch, burning tokens and losing context. Codex also tightened Windows sandbox behavior [2] by preventing the system from accidentally creating metadata directories that should stay read-only, a security hygiene fix that prevents privilege escalation in elevated environments. On the capability side, deferred environments can now signal their MCP-compatible capability roots on ready, letting tool providers integrate dynamically [3] instead of declaring everything upfront. The Node SDK patched a locale-sensitive header normalization bug [6] that was mangling custom headers like 'OpenAI-Organization' under Turkish locales, a one-line fix that touches every client that sets custom headers. Setup import now auto-detects and imports Cursor configuration [4], eliminating manual setup when migrating from Cursor, while the host skill catalog system switched to world state projection [5] so skill changes ripple through without re-declaring the whole catalog on every turn.
