10 Commits • 8 Features
Jan 1, 2026January 2026: Delivered a set of features across codex to streamline developer workflows, strengthen history management, and improve telemetry. Highlights include thread rollback API for IDEs, model/list query in the app-server-test-client, session-scoped apply_patch approvals, and thread management improvements (sorting by created_at/updated_at and archived filtering) plus originator header handling for compliance and telemetry alignment. Implemented analytics default flag for configurable analytics. Major bug fix: UI thread resume stability, preventing unnecessary mtime changes that reorder UI. Business impact: faster model discovery, safer conversation history, fewer prompts, clearer telemetry, and more reliable thread operations. Technologies: JSON-RPC, app-server, OpenTelemetry, TUI/VSCode integration, and filesystem timestamp management.
