What variant of Codex are you using?
0.129.0
What feature would you like to see?
Re-enable profiles on project config.toml, partially reverting https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/20098 . This is a material change, not a minor version change.
There is no reason that I can't put this config in my project:
[profiles.codergen]
approval_policy = "never"
model_reasoning_summary = "none"
model_verbosity = "low"
allow_login_shell = falseAdditional information

We are planning to deprecate profiles, so we won't be investing in any new features in this area.
@etraut-openai Why are you deprecating profiles? It's a useful feature.
It doesn't compose well with other features we're adding. Before we remove support for profiles, we'll provide an alternative mechanism that addresses the same use cases.
However, it has already been removed. What is the plan for a temporary replacement?
The old profile mechanism has been removed. It's replaced by a new profile mechanism that uses separate override config files. See this documentation for details.
@etraut-openai thank you. I saw that update come through, but that only allows profiles at
~/.codex. How/when can I put the config file in the project again?@btomaj, the new mechanism doesn't support project-level profiles. That's something we could potentially add. Feel free to file a new feature request.
