CODEX SHIPS RESPONSIVE UI FIXES AND FRESHENS MENTION SEARCH STATE

By RepoJournal · Filed · About OpenAI · Composed from the cited sources · methodology

Codex tightened its interface handling across four critical flows: responsive keymap menus now adapt to narrow terminals, mention popups purge stale search results, completion events now track item lifecycles, and exec-server network policy decisions move client-side.

The keymap action menu is now responsive [1], stacking descriptions below labels when space tightens at 48 columns and maintaining alignment at wider widths. Snapshot coverage confirms behavior at 48, 64, and 96 column widths. Unified mention popups [2] restart file search on every popup open to prevent inherited stale state, cache filtered rows, and refresh when query, file matches, search mode, skills, or plugins change. Completion events [3] now carry optional `started_at_ms` fields to track item start timestamps alongside completion, with fallback to completion time if no start was recorded, and subagent activity items now emit full lifecycle events. Exec-server network policy requests [4] moved client-side with request validation, per-process decision routing, and bounded concurrent callbacks that fail closed on timeout or invalid input.
