One folder is primary for chats and Git operations, secondary folders stay available for search, reading and editing. This solves a real polyrepo problem: read access across service boundaries without the agent ambiguously committing into the wrong repo, which is the usual failure when you just open the parent directory.

Thibault Sottiaux at OpenAI published an investigation into "a handful of reports where GPT-5.6 unexpectedly deleted files," finding it happens most commonly when full access mode is enabled in Codex. Simon Willison relayed it. A frontier lab publishing a first-party post-mort...
The July 18 release notes bundle fixes that restore the full window, which means it had been silently degraded for some unspecified period. If you benchmarked those models in Codex over the past few weeks and found long-context performance underwhelming, you may have been meas...
On July 9 the standalone Codex app merged into ChatGPT desktop for macOS and Windows, keeping a dedicated coding surface alongside Chat and Work modes, plus inline diff editing, side-panel PR review, faster Computer Use on GPT-5.6, and multi-repository projects. The tiering: S...
Releasebot lists migration of settings, MCP servers, plugins, sessions, commands, and project-scoped memories, plus stabilized multi-agent V2 with per-subagent models, reasoning levels and concurrency, and Bedrock login with GPT-5.6 Sol as default. The migration path is the no...
$3,054 against $38,370. Same benchmark, better score. Praxist (arXiv 2608.25955, submitted August 26) replaces per-attempt agent memory with a typed evidence graph of findings, plus lane-structured frontiers and agendas, so later attempts inherit validated mechanisms rather th...
The dominant orchestration shape is now a deterministic script that fans work across many subagents, has independent agents attack a problem from different angles, then has other agents try to refute the findings until answers converge before anything reaches you. Anthropic la...
