Agent Framework Python 1.14.0 landed August 13 with a native Mistral chat client, workflow checkpoint/resume in AG-UI, and experimental AGENT-HOOKS-0.1 enforcement behind an opt-in extra. The spec is Apache-2.0, stewarded by a UK company, last pushed July 7, sitting at 2 GitHub stars. A hyperscaler implementing a near-unknown independent spec is the interesting part: hooks are the deterministic enforcement boundary every agent runtime now has, and this is the first move toward one being portable. Also quietly fixed: Windows junctions rejected during skill discovery, the same traversal class that's been hitting skill loaders all year.
