OpenAI

Tools official 1 src. ~1 min

OpenAI shipped Codex CLI 0.146.0, adding named and pinnable sessions via /new or /clear, Agent Plugins manifests with workspace plugin publishing and new marketplaces (Amazon Bedrock, Claude Code), thread forking with paginated history, WebSocket connections from app-server to remote Code Mode hosts, standalone web search for compatible custom model providers, and discovery of executor-provided skills. The release also bundles a batch of proxy-configuration and MCP-reconnection bug fixes.

Why it matters

Session naming/pinning and forking make Codex CLI more usable for parallel multi-thread workflows, and the new Agent Plugins marketplace integration with Claude Code signals growing cross-ecosystem plugin compatibility between competing coding agents.

Importance: 2/5

Minor/patch-level coding-agent tooling update.
