codex-cli 0.117.0 ignores custom prompt list in app-server TUI and shows "Not available in app-server TUI yet.
What version of Codex CLI is running?
codex-cli 0.117.0
What subscription do you have?
plus
Which model were you using?
gpt-5.4
What platform is your computer?
Ubuntu Linux
What terminal emulator and version are you using (if applicable)?
normal terminal session
What issue are you seeing?
On codex-cli 0.117.0, custom prompts under ~/.codex/prompts are not usable from the terminal UI.
Typing /prompts:<name> shows:
Not available in app-server TUI yet.
This is confusing because I am using Codex normally in an Ubuntu terminal, so there is no obvious indication that the CLI is running an "app-server TUI" path internally.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
If prompt files exist in ~/.codex/prompts, then /prompts:<name> should work in the terminal UI, or at minimum the CLI should clearly explain that custom prompts are unsupported in this UI path.
The CLI log also shows list_custom_prompts requests being issued.
What is the expected behavior?
Typing /prompts:<name> returns:
Not available in app-server TUI yet.
Additional information
The message itself is misleading:
Not available in app-server TUI yet.
From a user perspective, I am just running Codex in a terminal. I do not know what "app-server TUI" means, and the message does not explain whether:
- the syntax is wrong,
- prompt files were not found,
- or the feature is simply unsupported in this frontend.
