OpenAI Codex v0.131.0: Unified Mention Picker, codex doctor Diagnostics, Python SDK Rename
OpenAI
OpenAI Codex v0.131.0 stable (May 18) delivers: a unified `@` mention picker searching files, directories, plugins, and skills in one place; `codex doctor` — a new diagnostic subcommand covering runtime, auth, terminal, network, config, and local state; the Python SDK package renamed to `openai-codex` / `openai_codex` with pinned runtime-generated types and concurrent turn routing; richer TUI session controls including blended token usage display and permissions/approval mode; plugin marketplace CLI commands and version-aware sharing; and remote workflow daemon management. Bug fixes harden Windows sandbox behavior and fix TUI rendering (URL wrapping, light-mode contrast, Shift+Enter in tmux).
Why it matters
First major stable release since v0.130, consolidating weeks of alpha work. `codex doctor` addresses a long-standing pain point for debugging Codex installations. The unified mention picker and Windows sandbox hardening are key for enterprise adoption.
