Tools official 1 src. ~1 min

Codex CLI v0.141.0 (June 18, 2026) ships authenticated, end-to-end encrypted Noise relay channels for remote executors, replacing the previous unauthenticated relay. Cross-platform remote execution now preserves native working directories and shells. Includes SQLite auto-recovery for corruption events and memory optimizations via tool-search caching and request deduplication for long sessions.

Why it matters

Encrypted Noise relay channels close a significant security gap for teams running Codex against remote or cloud-hosted workspaces.

Importance: 2/5

Minor version with a meaningful security improvement for remote execution workflows.
