Prism Desktop 0.5.31: a truthful agent runtime check

This version shipped on 3 September 2026. These notes were written up on 21 September 2026.

Prism Desktop 0.5.31 fixes how the app decides whether an agent program is ready to run.

What changed

  • The bundled Codex bridge is recognised as itself. Prism was applying a version rule meant for an older, separately installed package to its own bundled bridge, and wrongly marking it as not ready. That rule now applies only where it should.
  • Ready state and live model choices are back for the installed Codex runtime, with no reinstall and no change to your Codex login.
  • One rule, applied in both places. Discovery and the check that runs just before launch now identify a program the same way, so they can no longer disagree.
  • All thirteen built-in and preset agent programs had their launch commands and arguments verified.
  • Missing means missing. If a command-line tool is not installed, Prism says so. It does not install third-party programs for you without being asked.

Codex, Claude Code and every other harness keep their own profiles and credentials on your device, as before. For background, see running more than one AI coding agent.

Early access is through the waitlist.
