Codex app gets realtime delegation tooltips, fixes search in long files, and patches desktop regressions including tray crashes and broken dictation hotkeys on older macOS.

Codex App Update: Realtime Delegation & Desktop Fixes

TL;DR

  • Realtime delegation now shows context tooltips explaining voice conversation usage
  • Search in long review files now reliably jumps to off-screen matches
  • Fixed MCP app panels losing state during fullscreen changes and thread reloads
  • Desktop regressions patched: tray crashes, duplicate macOS menu entries, broken dictation hotkeys

New

  • Realtime delegation tooltips — Added clarification that Codex uses surrounding voice conversation as context when delegating tasks

Fixed

  • Search navigation in long review files — next and previous result buttons now reliably jump to off-screen matches instead of getting stuck
  • MCP app panel state — embedded panels no longer restart or lose state during fullscreen changes and thread reloads
  • Tray crashes on missing local connection — desktop app no longer crashes when local connection drops
  • Duplicate macOS fullscreen menu entries — removed redundant menu items in fullscreen mode
  • Global dictation hotkeys on older macOS — restored broken dictation hotkey support on macOS versions prior to current release
