Codex Radar 0.4.0 Public Beta

Codex Radar 0.4.0 Public Beta

Codex Radar makes host-local Codex work easier to scan and resume across projects. A lightweight Python helper indexes lifecycle events into local state; the VS Code extension reads that state to show what is running, waiting for approval, done, or archived.

Highlights

• Project-grouped Attention, Projects, and Archived views plus an editor dashboard.
• Bounded, redacted conversation previews and clear running, approval, done/read, unknown, and archived states.
• Workspace-aware handoff to eligible threads in the official Codex extension, including Remote SSH windows.
• Setup diagnostics for missing, empty, stale, or unsupported local session indexes.
• Dependency-free CLI/TUI fallback and experimental read-only host-local usage visibility.

Install

1. Install the host-local helper/indexer from this source checkout:

   python3 -m venv .venv
   . .venv/bin/activate
   python -m pip install .

2. Configure the Codex lifecycle hook by following the hook setup runbook. Setup is explicit: Codex Radar does not edit ~/.codex/hooks.json or install hooks for you.

3. Download codex-radar-vscode-0.4.0.vsix from this GitHub Release and install it on the VS Code extension host where Codex and the Radar state live:

   code --install-extension codex-radar-vscode-0.4.0.vsix --force

For Remote SSH, run the helper and install the VSIX on the remote extension host.

Privacy and Boundaries

Codex Radar is local-only. Session state, transcript-derived previews, and usage snapshots remain on the extension host. Primary navigation uses sanitized local state and does not send transcript or session metadata externally. The extension is a client of the host-local helper/indexer; it is not extension-only and does not silently configure hooks.

Current Limitations

• Distributed through GitHub Releases, not the VS Code Marketplace.
• Requires a separately installed host-local helper/indexer and explicit hook setup.
• Codex handoff relies on an experimental local URI route and may be unavailable for some sessions.
• No OS or external notifications; attention cues remain inside Codex Radar or the opt-in terminal watcher.

Verify

Run codex-radar doctor and codex-radar path, then open the Codex Radar Activity Bar view. Confirm that indexed sessions appear under the expected projects and that no hook, transcript, session-index, or config file is modified by the extension.
