Codex CLI 0.102.0: Permissions & Multi-Agent Roles

Codex CLI 0.102.0 brings unified permissions, structured network approvals, customizable multi-agent roles, and critical js_repl stability fixes.

Codex CLI 0.102.0: Permissions & Multi-Agent Roles

TL;DR

  • Unified permissions flow with clearer history and sandbox access slash commands
  • Structured network approval handling with richer host/protocol context
  • Customizable multi-agent roles via config; model reroute notifications for clients

New

  • Unified permissions flow — Clearer permissions history in the TUI and a slash command to grant sandbox read access when directories are blocked.
  • Structured network approvals — Richer host/protocol context shown directly in approval prompts for better visibility into what's being accessed.
  • Fuzzy file search sessions — App-server file search now signals session completion so clients can stop loading indicators reliably.
  • Customizable multi-agent roles — Configure agent roles via config with migration toward the new multi-agent naming surface.
  • Model reroute notifications — New model/rerouted notification so clients can detect and render model reroute events explicitly.

Fixed

  • Remote image attachments now persist correctly across resume/backtrack and history replay in the TUI.
  • TUI accessibility regression where animation gating for screen reader users was not consistently respected.
  • App-server thread resume behavior now correctly rejoins active in-memory threads and tightens invalid resume cases.
  • model/list output now returns full model data plus visibility metadata, avoiding unintended server-side filtering.
  • Multiple js_repl stability issues including reset hangs, in-flight tool-call races, and view_image panic paths.
  • App integration edge cases in mention parsing and app list loading/filtering behavior.
