codex exec --full-auto removed outright in 0.147.0.

The deprecated --full-auto flag is gone from codex exec. The release notes direct operators to --sandbox workspace-write instead.

Channel: tagged-release. Ancestry: grep of the rust-v0.146.0...rust-v0.147.0 compare commit list finds 1c5f336c4057f1724fc0dc1cb27f971a9fc887bc 'Remove legacy --full-auto handling from codex exec (#36054)'. PR #36054 merged 2026-07-30T01:22:46Z; first non-prerelease tag containing it is rust-v0.147.0. The 0.147.0 release body lists it under Chores.

Operator consequence: Adapt now. Any CI job, Makefile, cron, or wrapper script still passing codex exec --full-auto breaks on upgrade to 0.147.0 or later. This is filed under Chores in the release notes rather than as a breaking change, so it will not announce itself to anyone reading the headline sections. Grep your automation for the string before you bump.
