Cline Desktop 0.0.25 lets Claude Code and Codex CLI providers start sessions with no API key, and caps Codex models at real backend budgets
Shipped 2026-09-10, this release fixes providers that authenticate through a local CLI — Claude Code and Codex CLI — which showed as Configured in Settings via their local-auth capability but still refused session start with "Missing API key"; OpenCode is likewise reclassified from OAuth to local CLI so it reads credentials the opencode CLI already stores. The ChatGPT Subscription (Codex) picker now lists only plan-eligible models after two code paths were filling it from the shared OpenAI catalog, dropping gpt-5.4 and gpt-5.4-mini (retired for ChatGPT accounts on 2026-08-31), defaulting to gpt-5.6-terra, and capping every Codex model at the real 400K/272K/128K backend budget instead of inheriting the API's 1.05M limit. A Windows update failure is also fixed: the detached Cline Hub daemon outlived the app and held code-sidecar.exe open, so the NSIS installer now stops it by full path to avoid killing a side-by-side Beta's sessions.
