Resume unloaded Codex threads with `codex queue --resume` and select GPT-6.1 Terra

Codex CLI rust-v0.166.0 adds GPT-6.1 Terra to bundled, Vertex AI, and Amazon Bedrock catalogs, codex queue --resume for unloaded threads, codex doctor --network-only WebSocket diagnostics, keyboard transcript selection with Find, and selectable safer TUI follow-ups after safety blocks.

Why this loop

This release makes long-running Codex CLI work cheaper to recover and easier to steer. GPT-6.1 Terra is now in the bundled, Vertex AI, and Amazon Bedrock catalogs, so teams can pick it without a custom catalog. codex queue --resume resumes an unloaded thread after a queued message instead of opening a duplicate conversation. Resume and fork now keep acknowledged approval/permission settings and reasoning-token accounting, which avoids re-approving tools and premature compaction. Keyboard transcript selection (word, line, page motions plus Find and configurable shortcuts) plus consistent Markdown in async questions, choices, answers, and replies make review in the TUI practical. When a safety block hits, the TUI now explains it and offers selectable safer follow-ups. Run codex doctor --network-only first so configuration, connectivity, and WebSocket issues are isolated before queueing work; TUI reconnection recovery also handles offline /quit and /exit.

Proposed actions

  1. Upgrade Codex CLI to rust-v0.166.0, then set the session model to GPT-6.1 Terra from the bundled, Vertex AI, or Amazon Bedrock catalog.
  2. codex doctor --network-only
  3. After queueing a message onto an unloaded thread, run: codex queue --resume
  4. In the Codex TUI, enter keyboard transcript selection; move by word, line, and page; use integrated Find; set shortcuts if defaults conflict. Composer drafts stay intact while selecting.
  5. When a safety block appears, read the TUI explanation and pick a selectable safer follow-up prompt. Resume or fork the same thread—acknowledged approvals, permissions, and reasoning-token accounting are preserved.
