Codex CLI 0.135.0: Vim Text Objects, Better Diagnostics, Stable TUI

TL;DR

• Vim mode gains text-object editing and configurable interrupt keybinds
• codex doctor now reports environment, Git, and thread diagnostics for faster support
• TUI rendering fixes for macOS, Zellij, and tmux stability

New

• Vim text objects — Edit with text objects, improved word/line-end behavior, and configurable turn interruption keybind
• codex doctor diagnostics — Reports environment, Git, terminal, app-server, and thread inventory details for support cases
• /status remote details — Shows remote connection info and server version when TUI connects over remote transport
• Named permission profiles — /permissions command now understands and displays custom permission profiles
• Bundled zsh helper — Packaged Codex builds discover and use patched zsh helper on macOS and Linux
• Python SDK sandbox presets — Friendly presets for thread and turn APIs in the Python SDK

Fixed

• Markdown tables and multiline lists render more readably with better column sizing and app-style formatting
• TUI output stability improved on macOS and Zellij, preventing stderr corruption and raw-output overlap
• Slash-command completion now preserves existing draft text for commands accepting inline arguments
• Older tmux/iTerm sessions no longer lose Ctrl-C handling from unsupported keyboard enhancement setup
• App mentions exclude inaccessible or disabled apps instead of offering unusable suggestions
• Resume flows include non-interactive exec sessions and honor cwd overrides for idle cached threads
