Codex CLI: Commit Co-Author Attribution & Richer App Metadata
CodexCodex CLI 0.103.0 introduces a Codex-managed prepare-commit-msg Git hook that automatically adds co-author attribution to commits created with Codex assistance. The hook is configurable, allowing teams to use the default label, define a custom label, or disable attribution entirely. App listing responses were also enhanced with richer metadata.

Commit Co-Author Attribution
One of the most commonly requested quality-of-life features for AI coding agents is traceable authorship in version control. In 0.103.0, Codex now manages its own prepare-commit-msg Git hook to inject co-author information into commit messages whenever Codex assists in creating a commit.
Through the command_attribution configuration option, teams can choose between three behaviors: default label (Codex appends its standard co-author tag), custom label (teams specify their own attribution string), or disabled (attribution turned off entirely).
Richer App Listing Metadata
App listing responses from the Codex app-server now include expanded metadata: app_metadata, branding details, and labels are returned alongside each listing entry. Clients can now render complete, fully-branded app cards from a single response.
Reliability Improvements
The remote_models feature flag was removed entirely. Model selection is now faster and more dependable across all configurations. Routine maintenance includes Rust dependency upgrades.
