Release Notes

New Features - Vim mode supports / and ? searches within drafts, highlighted matches, and repeat navigation with n and N. (41586) - Rate-limit banners offer actions for checking usage, managing credits, resetting limits, and managing plans. (41742) - The terminal UI and codex exec show credential-refresh progress, including Amazon Bedrock reauthentication. (41239) - MCP server names can contain :, @, /, and ., supporting package-style names throughout CLI commands and authentication. (41700) - Individual MCP tools support an outputtokenlimit setting, with consistent truncation across session resumes. (41421) - App-server clients can configure thread/shellCommand timeouts, including deadlines longer than one hour. (41384) Bug Fixes - Vim-enabled composers now start fresh drafts in Insert mode, including after submitting messages or dispatching slash commands. (41921) - Automatic approval reviews can retain longer messages and a larger conversation transcript. (41931) - Automatic approval reviews preserve user instructions, answers, and valid authorizations across history compaction. (41660, 41846, 41852) - Resumed threads restore their saved working directory when none is supplied, and client metadata updates preserve filesystem permissions. (41567, 41464) - MCP tools remain available through cache refreshes and remote plugin changes; authentication retries use refreshed helper-provided headers. (41336, 41344, 41396, 41400) - Opening the model picker refreshes available models without losing the highlighted choice. (41467) - Fixed Windows sandbox execution with Microsoft Store PowerShell, subprocess hangs on terminal queries, and cursor-related display corruption in older JediTerm terminals. (41227, 41436, 41673) - Cloud task requests reject untrusted backend URLs and disable redirects to protect saved credentials. (41403) Chores - The planning tool is disabled by default; enable it with tools.updateplan.enabled = true. (41744) - Plugin recommendations begin loading during startup, reducing delays before the first turn.
