Codex CLI 0.129.0 (May 7, 2026)

Redesigned resume/fork picker — cleaner session management

Why This Matters

The remote-control command and Chrome extension signal Codex moving beyond terminal-only workflows. Combined with the plugin marketplace maturation, Codex is becoming a platform rather than just a CLI tool.

AWS Bedrock auth is significant for enterprise users who need to run Codex through their own model infrastructure rather than OpenAI’s API directly.
