The August 7 release adds installable portable Agent Plugins searchable across local, personal, workspace, and remote catalogs, plus --approve-for-me for automatically reviewed approvals. That's OpenAI's parallel to Anthropic's auto mode, landing the same week. The MCP protocol upgrade brings paginated discovery and non-blocking server startup, which fixes agent startup stalling on one slow MCP server. Also adds Cursor-managed skill import that syncs changes without duplicating conversations. The preceding 0.146.1 patch tightened automatic-review defaults specifically for cyber-capable models, which tells you exactly where OpenAI is drawing the approval-automation risk boundary.
