Claude Code v2.1.304 (Oct 19 UTC) adds /auto-mode-setup, a guided setup that reads your project and recent sessions to teach auto mode about your environment, now also on Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry, Claude apps gateway and telemetry-disabled sessions. It adds a read-only /claude-api managed-agents-secure check against Anthropic's security guide, warns Pro/Max users when resuming an inactive conversation would use a noticeable share of the 5-hour limit, and fixes 40+ issues including claude --worktree deleting a worktree and branch without asking, which could lose commits.

OpenAI shipped Codex CLI rust-v0.156.0 and hotfix 0.156.1 on 2026-09-22/23 (@openai/codex). 0.156.0 adds optional /tui fullscreen, voice default-on, /usage, worktrees on by default, themes/Mermaid, plus sandbox fixes. 0.156.1 adds GPT-6 Sol/Luna to the picker and recommends Luna on rate-limit switches.

@DanKornas introduced nrslib/takt, an open-source CLI for coding agents that defines planning, implementation, review, and fix steps in YAML. It adds step-specific context, review-to-fix loops, isolated worktrees, and traceable task-to-PR outputs. The repository had about 1,347 GitHub stars at verification and uses the MIT license.

SpaceXAI shipped Grok Build v1.0.31. Key fix: MCP tools with long server prefixes are no longer silently dropped. Also fixes folded subagent run/complete labels, dashboard search and resume-picker focus/selection, worktree path suffixes, dock collapse highlights, cancel-cause banners, and long-path header shortening. Update with grok update --alpha or grok update.

Andrew (@Ra3orbladez) shipped Swarm v0.14.0: it no longer only watches agents—it can steer them. With on_stop=block, when Claude Code finishes a turn in a claimed worktree Swarm runs required repo gates first; on failure it refuses stop and returns the gate name plus output tail (max three refusals, then an incident to avoid burning budget). Permission prompts surface on the dashboard with Allow/Deny, co-editing agents learn of each other’s file edits immediately, idle sessions wake on message, and rules can rewrite commands (e.g. strip git commit --no-verify). Setup: bunx @ra3orblade/swarm setup.

npm latest @openai/codex is 0.154.0. After codex features enable worktrees, --worktree / /worktree spins a managed Git worktree from committed HEAD (detached) and binds the session to it, so uncommitted edits, .env, and node_modules stay out of the agent checkout. codex resume --worktree and codex review --worktree are rejected. Aimed at parallel agents that otherwise fight one dirty working tree.

atrium (@atrium_dev) shipped v0.312.0: run Antigravity agents with OAuth, live model discovery, context usage, and native tools; move active chats into worktrees without dropping conversation context; and answer structured/async agent questions from the composer drawer. Fixes also harden Claude goals, Codex usage readings, session startup, and related reliability paths.

Open-source (MIT) macOS terminal kooky is built for AI coding: sidebar workspaces and split panes, one-click built-in or custom agent sessions, live running/waiting/failed states, plus git worktrees, SSH workspaces, session history, and kooky-cli for scripted tab control.
