February 2026 performance summary focusing on user-centric reliability improvements and feature parity across repos. In zed-industries/codex, shipped duplicate mention handling and selection persistence to preserve the exact target (skill or app) across submissions, resumes, and drafts, with UI normalization of labels and history-based restoration. In openai/codex, delivered clearer local login entitlement messaging for users without Codex access and enhanced guidance for sandbox dependency installation errors, including escalation-ready error handling. These changes reduce user friction, improve onboarding, and strengthen the overall reliability of the Codex experiences.

January 2026 monthly summary for zed-industries/codex. Focused on hardening project traversal to prevent CODEX_HOME from being loaded as a project layer, implementing robust path normalization and regression tests, and validating changes across the Rust toolchain. This work improves security and reliability when users work with home directories and worktrees, and reduces risk of unintended config loading in editor integrations.
