Codex CLI 0.148.0: TUI export, session forking, Amazon Bedrock provider, hooks MCP support

Adds Markdown conversation export via /export, session forking with codex exec fork, and the ability to draft prompts while the TUI initializes. Amazon Bedrock Runtime is now a built-in provider with AWS profile and region support. Hooks can run commands asynchronously and invoke MCP tools. Credit/cost estimates appear in /status and terminal titles. Bug fixes cover model switching, session resume, MCP recovery after OAuth reauthentication, sandbox path restrictions, and TUI rendering of CRLF and long URLs.

  • Markdown export: /export writes the full TUI conversation to clipboard or a new file.
  • Session forking: codex exec fork creates forks; archive and restore sessions from the TUI resume picker.
  • Draft prompts during init: compose prompts while the TUI starts up, with resume/fork progress shown.
  • Credit/cost estimates: /status and terminal titles show estimated thread credits or cost for eligible workspaces.
  • Amazon Bedrock Runtime: built-in provider with AWS profile, region, and GPT-5.6 routing support.
  • Hooks improvements: can now run commands asynchronously and invoke MCP tools.
  • Fixes: model switches no longer leave stale instructions; resumed sessions restore working directory and approval policy; turns reconnect through temporary provider outages; MCP servers recover after OAuth reauth without restarting Codex; sandbox restrictions fail closed for denied/unreadable paths on Linux and Windows.
