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
## Fix Windows compatibility issues (#248)
This PR addresses the Windows compatibility issues reported in #248:
1. **Fix sandbox initialization failure on Windows**
- Modified `getSandbox()` to return `SandboxType.NONE` on Windows
instead of throwing an error
- Added a warning log message to inform the user that sandbox is not
available on Windows
2. **Fix Unix commands not working on Windows**
- Created a new module
[platform-commands.ts](cci:7://file:///c:/Users/HP%20840%20G6/workflow/codex/codex-cli/src/utils/agent/platform-commands.ts:0:0-0:0)
that automatically adapts Unix commands to their Windows equivalents
- Implemented a mapping table for common commands and their options
- Integrated this functionality into the command execution process
### Testing
Tested on Windows 10 with the following commands:
- `ls -R .` (now automatically translates to `dir /s .`)
- Other Unix commands like `grep`, `cat`, etc.
The CLI no longer crashes when running these commands on Windows.

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.

**What is added?**
Additional error handling functionality is added before the errors are
thrown to be handled by upstream handlers. The changes improves the user
experience and make the error handling smoother (and more informative).
**Why is it added?**
Before this addition, when a user tried to use a model they needed
previous setup for, the program crashed. This is not necessary here, and
informative message is sufficient and enhances user experience. This
adheres to the specifications stated in the code file as well by not
masking potential logical error detection. Following is before and
after:
Moreover, AFAIK no logic was present to handle this or a similar issue
in upstream handlers.
**How is it scoped? Why won't this mask other errors?**
The new brach triggers *only* for `invalid_request_error` events whose
`code` is model related (`model_not_found`)
This also doesn't prevent the detection (for the case of masking logical
errors) of wrong model names, as they would have been caught earlier on.
The code passes test, lint and type checks. I believe relevant
documentation is added, but I would be more than happy to do further
fixes in the code if necessary.
# Add Husky and lint-staged for automated code quality checks

## Problem
There's a security vulnerability in the current implementation where
shell commands are being executed without requesting user permission
even when in 'suggest' mode. According to our documentation:
> In **Suggest** mode (default): All file writes/patches and **ALL
shell/Bash commands** should require approval.
However, the current implementation in `approvals.ts` was auto-approving
commands deemed "safe" by the `isSafeCommand` function, bypassing the
user permission requirement. This is a security risk as users expect all
shell commands to require explicit approval in 'suggest' mode.
## Solution
This PR fixes the issue by modifying the `canAutoApprove` function in
`approvals.ts` to respect the 'suggest' mode policy for all shell
commands:
1. Added an early check at the beginning of `canAutoApprove` to
immediately return `{ type: "ask-user" }` when the policy is `suggest`,
regardless of whether the command is considered "safe" or not.
2. Added a similar check in the bash command handling section to ensure
bash commands also respect the 'suggest' mode.
3. Updated tests to verify the new behavior, ensuring that all shell
commands require approval in 'suggest' mode, while still being
auto-approved in 'auto-edit' and 'full-auto' modes when appropriate.
## Testing
All tests pass, confirming that the fix works as expected. The updated
tests verify that:
- All commands (even "safe" ones) require approval in 'suggest' mode
- Safe commands are still auto-approved in 'auto-edit' mode
- Bash commands with redirects still require approval in all modes
This change ensures that the behavior matches what's documented and what
users expect, improving security by requiring explicit permission for
all shell commands in the default 'suggest' mode.
This PR makes changes in the Dockerfile to reduce the final image size.
I'm sure this can be optimized further. But I didn't want to make too
many changes at once.

## 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

Why
---
Improves the usability of the `codex` CLI by adding shell completion for
file paths. This allows users to quickly complete file arguments using
tab completion in bash, zsh, and fish shells. Enable via `eval "$(codex
completion <shell>)"`.
## Description
This fix resolves a bug where Ctrl+Backspace (hex 0x17) deletes the
entire line when the cursor is positioned after a trailing space.
## Problem
When the user has a line like "I want you to refactor my view " (with a
space at the end) and the cursor is after that space, Ctrl+Backspace
deletes the entire line instead of just removing the word "view".
## Solution
- Added a check to detect if the cursor is after spaces
- Modified the logic to delete only one space at a time in this case
- Added a unit test to verify this behavior
## Tests
All tests pass, including the new test that verifies the corrected
behavior.

### Summary
Refactored the `renderFilesToXml` function to improve performance and
readability by replacing iterative string concatenation with
`Array.map().join()`.
### Changes
- Replaced the `for...of` loop with `files.map(...).join('')`
- Reduced number of string mutation operations
- Preserved the existing XML structure and CDATA safety
### Why
Using `join` avoids repeated string concatenation in loops, which can
improve performance, especially when rendering a large number of files.
It also results in more concise and idiomatic code.

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`.
