0.143.0 — Codex Cli - Product release notes & changelog tool

New Features

Remote plugins are now enabled by default, with richer catalog rows, npm marketplace sources, and visible remote/local versions. (#30297, #26705, #29375, #30981)
Codex can route authentication and Responses API traffic through macOS and Windows system proxies, including PAC and WPAD configurations. (#26708, #26709, #31335)
Added codex remote-control pair for generating manual pairing codes from a running daemon. (#29913)
Added Amazon Bedrock GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra, and Luna models, with first-class support for max reasoning effort. (#30285, #30467)
MCP tools now use tool search by default, and ChatGPT-hosted MCP servers can explicitly use session authentication. (#29486, #29733)
App-server clients can inspect environments, list descendant threads, and fork history through a specific turn. (#30291, #29591, #30277)

Bug Fixes

Fixed Windows ConPTY input handling for line endings and backspace, plus sandbox credential retry edge cases. (#29734, #29624, #29637)
Fixed stale TUI safety prompts and cancelled reviews that could leave MCP startup appearing busy. (#30490, #31189)
Improved recovery when exec servers are temporarily offline and prevented remote-control token refresh retry storms. (#30098, #30201)
Preserved trailing realtime transcript text and terminal rollout events during shutdown. (#29918, #30144)
Improved incremental WebSocket request success by ignoring response metadata during comparisons. (#30770)
Reduced installer failures from GitHub API rate limits by reusing release metadata. (#31056)

Documentation

Documented UUID7 thread and turn IDs, plus recommended remote-executor integration-test workflows. (#27714, #29790)

Chores

Updated OpenSSL, Hono, fast-uri, quick-xml, and crossbeam-epoch to address security advisories. (#29487, #29650, #30941, #31308)
