Codex CLI 0.162.0 adds managed Git worktree tools and tightens several Linux sandbox gaps
Codex starts managing parallel working directories itself while patching places where sandbox rules could be weakened.
// Key points
- With the worktrees feature flag on in trusted local projects, Codex can create and list managed Git worktrees.
- Tasks can be pinned in the agent Command Center with p; custom Responses-compatible model providers can configure live web access and remote compaction.
- Linux sandbox fixes: startup with multiple denied files, rejecting writable sandbox-construction executables, and ripgrep config no longer weakening deny-glob masks.
- Retryable Responses and WebSocket failures honor server Retry-After advice; apply_patch preserves existing CRLF line endings.
Builder's takeLetting the agent manage worktrees means parallel tasks in one repo become normal. I'd try it in one repo first and agree on naming and cleanup rules for worktrees; the ripgrep fix is also a reminder to test sandbox rules with real commands periodically, not just read the config.
