This PR adds a command history persistence feature to Codex CLI that:
1. **Stores command history**: Commands are saved to
`~/.codex/history.json` and persist between CLI sessions.
2. **Navigates history**: Users can use the up/down arrow keys to
navigate through command history, similar to a traditional shell.
3. **Filters sensitive data**: Built-in regex patterns prevent commands
containing API keys, passwords, or tokens from being saved.
4. **Configurable**: Added configuration options for history size,
enabling/disabling history, and custom regex patterns for sensitive
content.
5. **New command**: Added `/clearhistory` command to clear command
history.
## Code Changes
- Added `src/utils/storage/command-history.ts` with functions for
history management
- Extended config system to support history settings
- Updated terminal input components to use persistent history
- Added help text for the new `/clearhistory` command
- Added CLAUDE.md file for guidance when working with the codebase
## Testing
- All tests are passing
- Core functionality works with both input components (standard and
multiline)
- History navigation behaves correctly at line boundaries with the
multiline editor
I had Codex read #182 and draft a PR to fix it. This is its suggested
approach. I've tested it and it works. It removes the purple `thinking
for 386s` type lines entirely, and replaces them with a single yellow
`thinking for #s` line:
```
thinking for 31s
╭────────────────────────────────────────╮
│( ● ) Thinking..
╰────────────────────────────────────────╯
```
prompt. I've been using it that way via `npm run dev`, and prefer it.
## What
Empty "reasoning" updates were showing up as blank lines in the terminal
chat history. We now short-circuit and return `null` whenever
`message.summary` is empty, so those no-ops are suppressed.
## How
- In `TerminalChatResponseReasoning`, return early if `message.summary`
is falsy or empty.
- In `TerminalMessageHistory`, drop any reasoning items whose
`summary.length === 0`.
- Swapped out the loose `any` cast for a safer `unknown`-based cast.
- Rolled back the temporary Vitest script hacks that were causing stack
overflows.
## Why
Cluttering the chat with empty lines was confusing; this change ensures
only real reasoning text is rendered.

## Description
This PR fixes the issue where the CLI can't continue after interrupting
the assistant with ESC ESC (Fixes#114). The problem was caused by
duplicate code in the `cancel()` method and improper state reset after
cancellation.
## Changes
- Fixed duplicate code in the `cancel()` method of the `AgentLoop` class
- Added proper reset of the `currentStream` property in the `cancel()`
method
- Created a new `AbortController` after aborting the current one to
ensure future tool calls work
- Added a system message to indicate the interruption to the user
- Added a comprehensive test to verify the fix
## Benefits
- Users can now continue using the CLI after interrupting the assistant
- Improved user experience by providing feedback when interruption
occurs
- Better state management in the agent loop
## Testing
- Added a dedicated test that verifies the agent can process new input
after cancellation
- Manually tested the fix by interrupting the assistant and confirming
that new input is processed correctly

Previously, `parseToolCall()` was using `computeAutoApproval()`, which
was a somewhat parallel implementation of `canAutoApprove()` in order to
get `SafeCommandReason` metadata for presenting information to the user.
The only function that was using `SafeCommandReason` was
`useMessageGrouping()`, but it turns out that function was unused, so
this PR removes `computeAutoApproval()` and all code related to it.
More importantly, I believe this fixes
https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/87 because
`computeAutoApproval()` was calling `parse()` from `shell-quote` without
wrapping it in a try-catch. This PR updates `canAutoApprove()` to use a
tighter try-catch block that is specific to `parse()` and returns an
appropriate `SafetyAssessment` in the event of an error, based on the
`ApprovalPolicy`.
