New Features

  • Open /config to search preferences across categories, change supported settings immediately, and see which changes require a restart. (#52990, #53429)

  • Send a follow-up while Codex is responding to steer it immediately. Interrupting a turn also stops active Code Mode cells and their nested tool calls. (#51812, #51835)

  • Configure a leader key in /keymap. The default is Ctrl+X, shortcut hints stay open until you choose or cancel, and voice mute moves to F9. (#52273)

  • Restart a managed background server from /daemon. Codex warns about work the restart could interrupt, then reconnects automatically. (#53173)

  • Codex can run independent read-only tools in parallel, including skill, memory, and conversation-history lookups. (#52245)

  • Daybreak is enabled by default for eligible accounts. codex exec can also select it with an OpenAI API key when the server offers access. (#53701, #53717)

Bug Fixes

  • Resuming a saved thread restores its permissions and network approvals, while respecting explicit overrides and current managed policy. (#53150, #53419, #53424)
