Codex App Server WebUI v0.2.9

Codex App Server WebUI v0.2.9

Version 0.2.9 makes remote queue management more reliable, keeps live sessions visually stable,
and adds an explicit recovery path for damaged local rollout sequences.

Reliable remote work

• Multiple text-only Queue entries can be merged from the pending-message menu while preserving
  their server order.
• Chats now keeps a visible new-session action even when empty and starts threads without a project
  assignment; project sessions retain their existing directory and optional worktree choices.
• Worktree creation now runs as a bounded Bridge job. The UI immediately renders a project
  placeholder and polls its handle without blocking navigation, then opens the completed session.
• Merge uses the native app-server queue as its authority and rolls back safely if a concurrent
  queue change prevents completion.
• Composer focus stays within the actual input shell; interacting with pending-message menus no
  longer redirects focus to the textarea.
• A damaged rollout ordinal sequence can be repaired explicitly from the session tools. The Bridge
  stops its managed app-server, preserves every valid JSONL event, creates a backup, rewrites only
  the affected ordinal sequence, and restarts the service.

Stable live sessions

• Running tool updates use a stable bottom anchor instead of repeatedly starting competing smooth
  scroll animations.
• Bounded tool-page caches, per-session parsing locks, and cold-background-load limits reduce work
  when navigating large histories.
• Runtime status remains available through the existing in-memory performance and cache metrics.
• The Bridge accumulates per-session run time, turn count, tool calls, and token totals while it
  parses active or warmed rollouts; Tools renders the cached snapshot without scanning history in
  the browser.

Product presentation

• The product page now uses real interface renderings for mobile sessions, parallel Tasks, and
  structured tool diffs.
• Release highlights focus on user outcomes instead of repeating individual patch notes.
• The deployment section now illustrates Cloudflare Zero Trust in front of a loopback-only WebUI
  and Bridge, suitable for homelab and NAS installations.
• Mobile clients without browser notification support receive a durable in-app completion toast;
  the composer indicator uses an upward glow that stays behind readable text.

Validation

• Demo/browser regression suite: 37 tests passed.
• Full Rust workspace test suite passed.
• Production Web UI assets and the optional whisper-enabled daemon were rebuilt in release mode.
• The deployed daemon reports protocol version 32 and healthy managed components.
