Release Highlights (from GitHub)

New Features

• GPT-5.3-Codex Model: New model capability with enhanced performance
• Steer Mode Stabilization: "Enter sends immediately during running tasks while Tab explicitly queues follow-up input" – now enabled by default

Bug Fixes

1. TypeScript SDK Resume: Corrected argument ordering in resumeThread() to prevent unintended new sessions when using local images
2. Model-Instruction Handling: Ensured correct developer instructions apply when switching models mid-conversation or resuming with different models
3. Remote Compaction: Fixed mismatches between token pre-estimation and payload generation to improve accuracy
4. Cloud Requirements: Fixed immediate reload after user login

Maintenance Updates

• Restored Pragmatic as the default assistant personality
• Unified collaboration mode naming across prompts, tools, protocol types, and UI labels

Impact Assessment

• Risk: Low-Medium (feature update with bug fixes)
• Affects: Codex engine workflows, model behavior
• Testing Required: Test steer mode, model switching, and resuming threads
• Notes: GPT-5.3-Codex model may require configuration updates if we want to use it

Migration Guide

2. Test steer mode behavior (Enter vs Tab during running tasks)
3. Verify model switching and thread resuming
4. Consider testing GPT-5.3-Codex model if available

Recommendations

Priority

1. High: Copilot CLI (0.0.405) - Requires full integration testing per constants.go warning
2. Medium: Codex (0.98.0) - New model and feature updates need testing
3. Low: Claude Code (2.1.34) - Patch releases, low risk
4. Low: Playwright MCP (0.0.64) - Patch release, low risk

Action Items

• CRITICAL: Run full integration test suite for Copilot CLI 0.0.405
• Update constants.go (✅ completed in pkg/constants/constants.go:282,287,312,361)
• Run make recompile to regenerate workflow files (⚠️ requires Go environment)
• Test Codex steer mode and GPT-5.3-Codex model
• Smoke test Claude Code and Playwright MCP
• Monitor for user feedback after deployment

Testing Strategy

1. Pre-deployment: Full integration tests for Copilot CLI
2. Deployment: Staged rollout (dev → staging → production)
3. Post-deployment: Monitor workflow execution logs for 24-48 hours
4. Rollback Plan: Keep previous versions available for quick rollback if issues arise
