Enable managed Git worktrees in Codex CLI 0.162.0
Upgrade to Codex CLI rust-v0.162.0, enable worktrees for trusted local projects, pin Command Center tasks with p, copy transcripts with /copy or Ctrl+Insert, and turn on live web access plus remote compaction for custom Responses providers.Why this loop
rust-v0.162.0’s highest-leverage workflow change is TUI tools that create and list managed Git worktrees from trusted local projects once the worktrees feature is enabled, plus clarified worktree choices for new and forked conversations—use isolated checkouts instead of stacking agent edits on the main tree. Pin Command Center tasks with p so they stay in the shared Pinned group when the server supports it. Transcript /copy, Ctrl+Insert, and tui.mouse_scroll_speed make review faster. Custom Responses-compatible providers need explicit live-web and remote-compaction capability overrides; they do not inherit first-party defaults. apply_patch now keeps existing CRLF without an opt-in. Ignore the omitted +47 changes as unknown capabilities.
Proposed actions
- Upgrade OpenAI Codex CLI to rust-v0.162.0 from https://github.com/openai/codex/releases/tag/rust-v0.162.0, enable the worktrees feature, and use the new TUI tools to create and list managed Git worktrees only from trusted local projects; when starting or forking a conversation, choose the clarified Git worktree option instead of editing the primary checkout.
- In the Codex agent Command Center, press p on each long-running or shared task so it remains in the shared Pinned group when the server supports that grouping.
- In the Codex TUI, copy transcript blocks with /copy or select text and press Ctrl+Insert; if mouse-wheel scrolling feels too fast or slow, set tui.mouse_scroll_speed in your TUI config.
- For every custom Responses-compatible model provider, add capability overrides that enable live web access and remote compaction so those providers are not missing first-party features on new threads.
- Run
codex doctorafter upgrade and confirm it reports the configured TUI mode; on Windows, install with the signed PowerShell installer and rely on apply_patch preserving existing CRLF line endings with no opt-in.
