Codex Radar 0.4.3 Public Beta

Codex Radar 0.4.3 Public Beta

Codex Radar 0.4.3 improves host-local usage visibility, archive refresh, public setup documentation, and cross-workspace handoff safety while preserving the local-only read boundary.

Highlights

• Identify the 5-hour and 7-day Codex usage pools by their observed window_minutes, including correct display when only the 7-day pool is present.
• Refresh Radar navigation when archived transcript files are created or removed on the extension host.
• Make cross-workspace handoff an explicit two-step flow: open the destination project first, then select the session from Radar in that window.
• Clarify the helper/indexer dependency, explicit hook setup, empty-state diagnostics, privacy boundary, and Remote SSH installation path in the public documentation.

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. Codex Radar does not edit ~/.codex/hooks.json or install hooks automatically.

3. Download codex-radar-vscode-0.4.3.vsix from this GitHub Release and install it on the VS Code extension host where Codex and Radar state live:

   code --install-extension codex-radar-vscode-0.4.3.vsix --force

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

Cross-workspace Handoff

When a selected session belongs to another workspace, Open Project in New Window opens only that project. Select the same session from Codex Radar in the destination window to open it in Codex. This avoids relying on VS Code's global URI routing to choose a destination window.

Privacy and Boundaries

Codex Radar remains local-only. Session state, transcript-derived previews, and usage snapshots stay on the extension host. The extension remains a read-only client of the host-local helper/indexer and does not silently configure hooks or send transcript/session metadata externally.

Current Limitations

• Distributed through GitHub Releases, not the VS Code Marketplace.
• Requires a separately installed host-local helper/indexer and explicit hook setup.
• Same-workspace Codex handoff still 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.

Verification

The 0.4.3 package passed the repository Python and VS Code extension test suites. The cross-workspace two-step flow was manually smoke-tested before release.

한국어 요약

Codex Radar 0.4.3은 5시간/7일 usage pool 식별, archive 상태 자동 갱신, 공개 설치 문서, 다른 workspace handoff 안전성을 개선한 public beta임. 다른 workspace의 session을 열 때는 새 VS Code 창만 먼저 열고, 대상 창의 Radar에서 같은 session을 다시 선택하는 명시적 2단계 흐름을 사용함. Host-local helper/indexer와 사용자가 직접 설정한 Codex hook이 필요하며, Marketplace 배포, hook 자동 설치, 외부 데이터 전송은 포함하지 않음.
