Codex CLI 0.116.0: Realtime Sessions & Plugin Setup

TL;DR

• Realtime sessions now load recent thread context and stop self-interrupting during audio playback
• Plugin setup is smoother with auto-install prompts and remote sync for install/uninstall state
• Device-code ChatGPT sign-in added to app-server TUI onboarding
• Fixed websocket prewarming stalls, Linux sandbox startup issues, and conversation history restoration

New

• Device-code ChatGPT sign-in — App-server TUI now supports device-code auth during onboarding and can refresh existing ChatGPT tokens without re-authenticating
• Plugin installation prompts — Codex can now prompt to install missing plugins or connectors, honor a configured suggestion allowlist, and sync install/uninstall state remotely
• userpromptsubmit hook — New hook lets you block or augment prompts before execution and before they enter history
• Realtime context awareness — Realtime sessions now start with recent thread context and are less likely to self-interrupt during audio playback

Fixed

• Websocket prewarming no longer causes first-turn stalls; startup now times out and falls back cleanly
• Conversation history restored for remote resume/fork in app-server TUI; eliminated duplicate live transcript output from legacy stream events
• Linux sandbox startup improved on symlinked checkouts, missing writable roots, and Ubuntu/AppArmor hosts by preferring system bwrap when available
• Agent job finalization race condition fixed; reduced status polling churn for worker threads
