Codex CLI 0.130.0: Remote Control, Plugin Sharing, Bedrock Auth

TL;DR

• New codex remote-control command for headless app-server startup
• Plugin sharing now exposes metadata and discoverability controls
• Bedrock auth supports AWS console-login credentials
• App-server threads pick up config changes without restart

New

• codex remote-control — Simpler entrypoint for starting a headless, remotely controllable app-server without extra boilerplate.
• Plugin sharing metadata — Plugin details now show bundled hooks, and sharing exposes link metadata plus discoverability controls for better plugin discovery.
• Thread pagination — App-server clients can page large threads with unloaded, summary, or full turn item views for faster navigation.
• Bedrock AWS login — Bedrock auth now accepts AWS console-login credentials from aws login profiles, simplifying credential management.
• Multi-environment image resolution — view_image can now resolve files through the selected environment for multi-environment sessions.

Fixed

• Live app-server threads now pick up config changes without requiring a restart.
• Turn diffs stay accurate across apply-patch operations, including partial failures that still mutated files.
• Thread summaries, renames, resume, and fork paths work better through ThreadStore, including threads without local rollout paths.
• Remote compaction now emits response.processed for v2 streams and avoids sending service_tier on API-key compact requests.
• Windows sandbox setup now grants sandbox users access to the desktop runtime binary cache.
• Removed stale "research preview" wording from the codex exec startup banner.

Documentation & Tooling

• Fixed issue templates so CLI reports keep intended guidance, labels apply correctly, and feature requests link to the right contributing docs.
• Updated install and tooling docs to consistently use cargo install --locked.
• Added faster Cargo profiling build profile and disabled empty doctest targets to speed up Rust development loops.
• Hardened dependency and CI hygiene with fully qualified GitHub Action pins, Dependabot cooldown, and cargo-shear upgrade.

Update with: cargo install --locked codex-cli
