In-Depth Technical Analysis

Background Windows Codex users saw console windows flash whenever background or sandboxed commands launched (#48074). After 0.159.1 defaulted to GPT-6.1 Sol, 0.159.2 is a focused UX hotfix for that flash. ### What shipped rust-v0.159.2 via #49385 (~2 commits / 47 files vs v0.159.1). npm @openai/[email protected]. No model-catalog change. ### Benchmarks No SWE-bench in the notes. Validate on Windows sandbox hosts that built-ins and external whoami/cmd/Git/PowerShell no longer flash consoles. Sol pricing/context unchanged on the model card. ### Get started npm i -g @openai/[email protected]. Docs: developers.openai.com/codex.
