OpenAI releases Codex CLI 0.162.0 with managed Git worktree tools

On October 8, 2026 OpenAI published version 0.162.0 of its open-source Codex CLI on GitHub. The release notes add tools for creating and listing managed Git worktrees from trusted local projects when the worktrees feature is enabled, and add task pinning in the agent Command Center with the `p` key. They also say live web access and remote compaction can be configured for custom Responses-compatible model providers, and that a signed PowerShell installer is now published with Windows releases. USASI has not tested these changes.1
