Codex CLI 0.163.0 adds a searchable /config view and identifies settings that need a restart. It also lets follow-up messages steer a running response immediately.
Source checked October 17, 2026
EDITORIAL TAKEAWAY
Open /config in a supported CLI release and look up a preference you already use. Check its restart guidance before changing it during active work.
Before you try it
- Released October 15 in Codex CLI 0.163.0. These are terminal-client changes, not new slash commands for ordinary ChatGPT chats.
- Supported preferences can change immediately; other settings require a restart. Managed policy and account eligibility still apply.
A small next step
Our suggested way to explore the change.
- Check which Codex CLI version you use and follow your usual update process if needed.
- Open /config and search for an existing preference.
- Review any restart requirement before changing the setting during a task.
