Codex Starts Treating Plugins Like a Supply Chain

Codex Starts Treating Plugins Like a Supply Chain

Plugins are where coding agents stop being assistants and start becoming platforms. A plugin can bring skills, app integrations, MCP server configuration, lifecycle hooks, and marketplace metadata into the same runtime that reads your repository, proposes edits, runs commands, and sometimes asks for fewer approvals than a junior engineer would.

Codex Turns Agent Runtime Edge Cases Into Protocol Contracts

Codex Turns Agent Runtime Edge Cases Into Protocol Contracts

The late-day Codex work on June 23 reads like OpenAI taking a red pen to every place an agent runtime used to shrug. Budget exhausted? That should not masquerade as a generic interruption.

The interesting thing about OpenAI Codex 0.142.0-alpha.10 is not that the release body says almost nothing. That is normal for these alpha drops. The interesting thing is what the compare view says when you stop treating coding agents as chat boxes and start treating them as distributed

Codex 0.141 Alpha Is About Keeping Agent Tooling Honest Across Plugins, Proxies, and Disconnected Sessions

Codex 0.141 Alpha Is About Keeping Agent Tooling Honest Across Plugins, Proxies, and Disconnected Sessions

There is a version of the coding-agent story that is all about model intelligence: bigger context windows, better reasoning, smarter tool use, cleaner outputs. That version is the press-release version. The version that actually determines whether these tools survive contact with real engineering teams is the version no one writes
