PR 1252 fixes a plugin dispatch allow list that could go stale and silently refuse messages with no error at all — seven of nine bindings were failing invisibly before this fix. PR 1245 closes a second path to the same kind of problem in the…
Second theme: plugin security is getting more deliberate. PR 1201 is the big one — it widens where plugins can put UI, but locks a "trusted chrome" set permanently off-limits, with the host owning every frame so plugin code never runs in the main renderer. PR 1252's allow-list fix and PR 1241's hardening of…

PR 1244 flips the default to background dispatch with an opt-in focus flag, and PR 1261 builds on that by routing busy prompts into an execution queue instead of rejecting them. Worth remembering if you script against dispatch — behavior changed today, not just internals.
Smaller but notable: PR 1242 fixes Codex Desktop path rotation, PR 1243 fixes flag ordering for Codex's working directory, and PR 1236 shards the unit test suite to cut CI time…
