Summary
Codex CLI 0.149.0 added an interactive codex agents dashboard for finding, starting, renaming and stopping tasks, plus codex queue for messaging existing local or remote sessions. The release also adds working-directory commands, broader diagnostics and SDK controls for reasoning effort and CLI configuration.
Why it matters
The release treats multiple asynchronous coding tasks as a first-class operating surface, reducing the coordination burden that appears when agents run concurrently.
