Release Notes

New Features - Vim mode now supports undo with u and redo with Ctrl+R, preserving complete drafts including pasted content and attachments. (41941, 42140) - The plugin CLI can list, install, and remove plugins from remote marketplaces. (42150) - Set tui.autorecap = false to disable automatic recaps while keeping manual /recap available. (42101) - TUI history shows complete patches, input sent to background terminals, and individual completed commands. (41893, 42107) - Plus and Team users receive an earlier warning when less than half of their allowance remains in an approximately five-hour usage window. (42142) Bug Fixes - TUI sessions reconnect after an external app-server connection drops, preserving drafts and transcripts while keeping uncertain or queued submissions paused for review. (41911, 41916, 41918) - Full Access skips Guardian reviews for confirmation-only actions. User approval mode skips background Guardian scoring and prewarming, while sensitive-action checks and requests for user input retain their existing handling. (42147, 42256) - Guardian review history survives compaction, restarts, and user-created forks while respecting rollback boundaries and isolating subagent history. (41879, 42065) - Remembered MCP tool approvals are scoped to the selected app account, and relative MCP executable paths start more reliably on macOS. (42133, 42117) - Rollout compression includes shared histories, codex exec resume handles compressed rollouts when selecting by working directory, and thread forks work with symlinked session roots. (42039, 42135) Configuration and API Updates - App-server thread metadata includes nullable model and reasoningEffort fields. Structured asynchronous questions are supported through requestuserinputasync when enabled by the model catalog. (42151, 42178) - tui.disablepasteburst replaces the top-level setting, which remains supported as a fallback. (41976) - Adds the disabled-by-default features.contextmanagement.experimentalmode configuration. When enabled for eligible ChatGPT Plus, Pro, or Pro Lite sessions using the Codex backend, it activates token-budget context, history notes, and the newcontext tool. API-key sessions, custom providers, and temporary structured threads remain excluded.
