Codex CLI 0.133.0: Goals by Default, Plugin Discovery, Permission Profiles

Codex CLI 0.133.0 ships goals enabled by default, permission profile APIs, plugin discovery improvements, and new extension lifecycle hooks. Fixes TUI startup, plan-mode input handling, and app-server races.

Codex CLI 0.133.0: Goals by Default, Plugin Discovery, Permission Profiles

TL;DR

  • Goals now enabled by default with dedicated storage and progress tracking across turns
  • Permission profiles gained list APIs, inheritance, and Windows sandbox integration
  • Plugin discovery is easier to inspect with marketplace-aware output and version tracking
  • Extensions can observe more lifecycle events (subagent start/stop, tool execution, turn metadata)

New

  • Goals enabled by default — Goals now ship enabled with dedicated storage backing and track progress across active turns instead of requiring experimental flags
  • codex remote-control UX improvements — Command now runs as foreground, waits for readiness, reports machine status, and keeps explicit daemon-style start/stop commands
  • Permission profiles expansion — Added list APIs, inheritance resolution, managed requirements.toml support, runtime refresh behavior, and stronger Windows sandbox integration
  • Plugin discovery improvements — Marketplace-aware list output, installed version tracking, visible marketplace roots, and remote collection support for easier inspection
  • Extension lifecycle hooks — Extensions can now observe subagent start/stop, tool execution, turn metadata, async approval, and async turn processing events

Fixed

  • TUI startup choosing wrong working directory when reusing local app-server socket
  • Plan-mode free-form answers where modified Enter keys (Shift+Enter) submitted unexpectedly
  • Stale background terminal poll events after process exits
  • Raw code-mode exec output now preserved unless explicit output token limit requested
  • AGENTS instruction loading — now more reliable with local global reads and UTF-8 validation warnings instead of silent drops
  • App-server startup/shutdown races, empty resume/fork paths, plugin upgrade failures, and realtime v1 websocket compatibility

Breaking Changes

  • Plugin version upgrades now additive — ensure your plugin update workflows account for cumulative version changes
