The common thread this Friday is guards that fail quietly, since a Claude Code hook that never starts has acted much like one that said yes. Claude Code v2.1.295 adds a way to make those failures block, but the npm stable channel only stepped from v2.1.285 to v2.1.286 on…
The common thread this Thursday is that new things arrive faster than the channels that carry them. Anthropic shipped Claude Haiku 5.5 on Wednesday, but the Claude Code build that understands it, and the overnight build that fixes a hook problem, both sit ahead of stable. VS Code…
The common thread this Wednesday is control, because two of today’s changes decide what can reach or drive an agent while nobody is watching. Cursor opened a phone path to local agents and left it on for most plans, while Claude Code shipped a batch of permission fixes that only…
Claude Code shipped two builds on Monday evening ET, and the first moves a trust line for anyone who clones other people’s repositories. GitHub moved the other way, since the newest agentic-workflows pre-release pre-approves dynamic workflow runs by default, and Copilot CLI…
Today’s news is two GitHub changes that land on Monday work: a workflow preview that behaves differently in the app and the CLI, and an agentic-workflows release that turns loose tokens and missing targets into errors. Treat today as the day to turn experimental on only where you…
Claude Code v2.1.289 is a permissions release: it closes several shapes of command and file access in which a deny or ask rule was supposed to apply and did not, and the channel split decides who has the fix. Treat today as the day to check which Claude Code build enforces your…
Today’s lead changes are quieter than a launch: four Copilot model ids are simply gone, and a Claude Code release makes permission checks fail closed where a check that could not run used to be skipped.
Today’s three changes decide what may see or rewrite a session, and only one arrives switched on. Claude Code mods are on for anyone who updates to v2.1.287, so an administrator has to decide who may install them, while the watcher, Codex’s Guardian history and Copilot’s…
None of today’s changes is a new model. They decide which folder a chat writes in, whether a resumed Claude Code session keeps its turns, and which MCP server receives your GitHub sign-in, so the work is checking versions and scoping access.
Today is about who chooses your model and provider. Codex put GPT-6.1 Sol at the top of its bundled catalog the day OpenAI released it, so a session that never named a model may start on a different one than last week, while GitHub added it to Copilot and Claude Code gained a way…
