• Improved stdin UX for interactive commands during apply and test
• Terminal cursor is now shown when Codify is waiting on stdin input, so it no longer looks frozen
• Various raw mode fixes for terminal input handling

This release focuses on making plan and apply output easier to read at a glance, and making dependency resolution more forgiving of how you actually structure real-world configs.

• Apply notes - plugins can now attach notes to apply results (e.g. "restart your terminal for this to take effect"). Notes are grouped by message and shown with a ⚠ warning icon in the interactive TUI, plain-text reporter, and JSON output.

• Structural diffs for object parameters - plan output for object-valued parameters (e.g. nested macos-settings blocks) now shows a structural, per-key diff instead of a flat before/after blob.

  • Added/removed/modified fields are marked individually
  • Fixed noop fields cluttering object diffs when nothing changed

• Smarter dependsOn matching

  • dependsOn references can now match by type only, name only, or fully-qualified type.name
  • Fixed a bug where dependsOn references crossing OS/distro filters (e.g. a docker resource depending on an apt-only resource) would incorrectly break instead of resolving correctly

• Shell environment validation - Codify now validates that your shell starts up clean before running plugins, and points directly at the offending .zshrc/.bashrc if unexpected output is detected.

• Fixed zsh auto-correct hangs - interactive commands no longer hang on a zsh autocorrect prompt (e.g. zsh: correct 'config' to '.config' [nyae]?) during apply.

• Additional fixes

  • Fixed codify edit desktop app installation and detection
  • Fixed apply completion message formatting
  • Updated desktop app download links

Upgrade

codify update

Or install the latest version:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://releases.codifycli.com/install.sh)"

This release focuses on making codify apply more resilient, informative, and polished.

• Partial applies - failed resources no longer stop the entire run. Codify now skips failed resources and their dependents while continuing everything else.

• Redesigned error messages - validation failures now show diffs between expected and actual resource state for easier debugging.

• New sudo password flow

  • Improved password prompt UI
  • Optional session password caching
  • --secure mode for fresh prompts every command

• Improved progress & logging

  • Live sub-progress indicators
  • Failed shell commands are surfaced directly in output
  • Adjustable log verbosity with cleaner raw logs

• Linux distro filtering - automatically exclude resources that don't apply to the current distro.

• Better non-interactive support

  • Plain text fallback for non-TTY environments
  • --yes auto-approve flag

• Additional improvements

  • Prevent macOS sleep during apply/destroy
  • Improved install script reliability
  • Plugin CLI version gating
  • Terminal resize handling in the TUI
