Updated 1 min read
Summary
Agent Radar 2026-10-30: Codex CLI 0.166.0 adds keyboard transcript selection and resume fixes; AG2 1.2.2 adds tool timeouts and deprecates OpenAIConfig.
Agent Radar tracked two launches as of 2026-10-30, covering the window 2026-10-23 to 2026-10-30. Both are new to the site, so each comes with a new tool hub. The item that needs action is AG2 1.2.2, because of a config class deprecation with a set removal version.

What changed
- Codex CLI: 0.166.0, published October 29, 2026, two days after 0.165.0. It adds word, line and page selection with search in the TUI transcript, a network-only mode for
codex doctor, and fixes resume and fork so approval settings and reasoning-token counts carry over. No breaking change is listed. See the new Codex CLI hub. - AG2: 1.2.2, published October 27, 2026, lets you cap each tool call with
@tool(timeout=...); a timed-out tool returns aTimeoutErrorto the model instead of hanging the run. It also supports the Anthropic SDK 2.x and deprecatesOpenAIConfig, which becomes the Responses API in 1.4.0. See the new AG2 hub.
Questions
Which item needs action first?
AG2 1.2.2, if you use OpenAIConfig. Switch to OpenAICompletionsConfig to keep Chat Completions, or to OpenAIResponsesConfig to move now, before 1.4.0 changes what the old name means.
Which item is safe to take without code changes? Codex CLI 0.166.0: its notes list no breaking change, and the resume fixes help anyone who forks or resumes threads.
