Upgrade to Claude Code 2.1.88 for steadier long sessions, reliable multi-schema output, cleaner terminal UX, and a new retry hook for safer automation.
Lock down Copilot data-sharing defaults for non-enterprise seats and standardize on Copilot CLI 1.0.14 for smoother BYOM and MCP workflows.
Now-fixed Codex injection exposed GitHub tokens; rotate credentials and harden agent–GitHub boundaries to cut blast radius.
Treat the MCP registry as your agent control plane and pilot it now, while validating agents-js v0.8.2 changes in canary.
Upgrade to agentic-qe v3.8.13, turn on the CLI for fast complexity and incremental scans, and pin versions to stay clear of the patched injection bug.
Local LLMs can pay off, but only if you engineer the harness and enforce model guardrails like any other production dependency.
Use multi-agent roles with opinionated evaluation, and only add a verifier when upstream feedback isn’t yet reliable.
