CLI 0.111.0: Fast Mode Default, Dynamic JS Imports and Plugin Awareness
CodexCodex CLI 0.111.0 ships with fast mode enabled by default, so new sessions immediately run at the faster inference tier. The release also lets the JavaScript REPL dynamically import local .js and .mjs files, and improves plugin discovery by explicitly informing the model which plugins are active at session start.

Codex CLI 0.111.0
Fast Mode Is Now the Default
Following the introduction of the /fast toggle in 0.110.0, version 0.111.0 enables fast mode by default for all new sessions. The TUI header displays whether the session is running in Fast or Standard mode.
JavaScript REPL Dynamic Imports
The js_repl runtime can now dynamically import local .js and .mjs files directly from the workspace. Previously, the JavaScript REPL operated in isolation from files on disk.
Plugin Discovery at Session Start
Codex now explicitly tells the model which plugins are active when a session begins — covering MCP servers, app connectors, and skills.
App-Server v2 MCP Elicitation
The app-server v2 protocol now exposes MCP elicitation as a structured request/response flow rather than raw event streams.
Bug Fixes
Resuming a thread via codex resume now correctly restores the stored Git context and keeps previously-enabled apps active.
