Plugin details now show bundled hooks, and plugin sharing exposes link metadata plus discoverability controls. (#21447, #21495, #21637)
Added `codex remote-control` as a simpler entrypoint for starting a headless, remotely controllable app-server. (#21424)
App-server clients can page large threads with unloaded, summary, or full turn item views. (#21566)
Bedrock auth can now use AWS console-login credentials from `aws login` profiles. (#21623)
`view_image` can resolve files through the selected environment for multi-environment sessions. (#21143)
Live app-server threads now pick up config changes without requiring a restart. (#21187)
Turn diffs stay accurate across apply-patch operations, including partial failures that still mutated files. (#21180, #21518)
Thread summaries, renames, resume, and fork paths work better through `ThreadStore`, including threads without local rollout paths. (#21264, #21265, #21266)

The TUI now supports modal Vim editing in the composer, including `/vim`, default-mode config, and Vim-specific keymap contexts. (#18595)
TUI workflows are easier to resume and copy from with a redesigned resume/fork picker, raw scrollback mode, `/ide` context injection, and workspace-aware `/diff`. (#20065, #20819, #20294, #21001)
The status line can show theme-aware colors plus optional PR and branch-change summaries, and `/keymap debug` helps inspect terminal key events. (#19631, #20892, #20794)
Plugin management now supports workspace sharing, share access controls, source filtering, local share path tracking, marketplace removal/upgrades, remote bundle sync, and admin-disabled status handling. (#20278, #21124, #21419, #20560, #19843, #20478, #20268, #20298)
Hooks can be browsed and toggled from `/hooks`, can run before/after compaction, and can add `PreToolUse` context; Codex Apps auth and eligible MCP elicitations now surface through TUI/Guardian flows. (#19882, #19905, #20692, #19193, #19431)
Experimental goals are now discoverable, stay paused across resume unless the user opts back in, and show clearer validation and multi-day duration output. (#20083, #20790, #20746, #20558)
`/copy` works better in tmux, Alt+Enter and modified Delete/Backspace keys behave correctly, and Windows typing/paste latency was reduced. (#20207, #20535, #21058, #18914)
Large paste placeholders and Ctrl+C-stashed drafts now survive clear/editor workflows without corrupting draft history. (#21091, #21190, #21351, #21397)

Added persisted `/goal` workflows with app-server APIs, model tools, runtime continuation, and TUI controls for create, pause, resume, and clear. (#18073, #18074, #18075, #18076, #18077, #20082)
Added `codex update`, configurable TUI keymaps, plan-mode nudges, action-required terminal titles, and active-turn `/statusline` and `/title` edits. (#19933, #18593, #19901, #18372, #19917)
Expanded permission profiles with built-in defaults, sandbox CLI profile selection, cwd controls, and active-profile metadata for clients. (#19900, #20117, #20118, #20095)
Improved plugin workflows with marketplace installation, remote bundle caching, remote uninstall, plugin-bundled hooks, hook enablement state, and external-agent config import. (#18704, #19914, #19456, #19705, #19840, #19949)
Added external agent session import, including background imports and imported-session title handling. (#19895, #20284, #20261)
Made MultiAgentV2 configuration more explicit with thread caps, wait-time controls, root/subagent hints, and v2-specific depth handling. (#19360, #19792, #19805, #20052, #20180)
Fixed several resume and interruption issues, including stale interrupt hangs, persisted provider restoration, large remote resume responses, and slow filtered resume lists. (#18392, #19287, #19920, #19591)
Improved TUI reliability around terminal resize reflow, markdown list spacing, slash-command popup layout, keyboard cleanup, shell-mode escape, and working status updates. (#18575, #19706, #19511, #19625, #19986, #19939)
