📦 Devin CLI v3000.11.92: /goal command and mid-turn steering — New /goal <objective> command keeps Devin working across turns until it reports the goal complete or blocked — a run pauses itself after 50 turns, not available on prompt-based plans. Steering hands mid-run messages to the running turn instead of the queue; new config.json settings include agent.subagent_model and local_tools_bypass_permissions (starts local-tools connections with Bypass Permissions on).

📦 Copilot: Agentic autofix for code scanning alerts general availability — Agentic autofix for code scanning alerts is now generally available — the changelog entry covers how it works, how to use it, access, and billing.

📦 Devin: October 14, 2026 — Interrupting Devin keeps the partial reply in chat, browser previews in Slack-started sessions post an "Open preview" link to the thread, and admins can assign a new org-level Review Manager role.

Both Devin updates change mid-turn control the same day: the CLI hands a message typed while Devin is working to the running turn instead of the queue, and the web product keeps the partial reply you already saw when you interrupt.

📦 Codex 0.163.0 — parallel read-only tools, mid-response steering — Independent read-only tools (skill, memory, conversation-history lookups) now run in parallel, and a follow-up sent while Codex is responding steers it immediately — interrupting a turn also stops active Code Mode cells and their nested tool calls. Also: /config preference search, managed background-server restarts from /daemon, a /keymap leader key (default Ctrl+X, voice mute moves to F9), and Daybreak enabled by default for eligible accounts.

📦 Kiro: Kimi K3 now available — Moonshot AI's open-weight Kimi K3 lands with experimental support across the Kiro IDE, CLI, Crew, and Web, for Pro, Pro+, Pro Max, and Power customers on Kiro's US geography. Accepts text and images, with a 1M-token context.

📦 Claude: Code review is now generally available — Anthropic moves code review to general availability, per the announcement on Anthropic's own site.

Codex 0.163.0 turns Daybreak on by default for eligible accounts the same day Kiro adds Kimi K3 with experimental support — both of today's harness releases widen model access.

📦 Factory CLI v0.243.0 · Desktop v0.200.0 — Droid now reads a range of a very large file without running out of memory, keystrokes reach the browser pane they target, and a background command that deletes a file with rm -f is no longer refused. A review workflow required across an organization now runs Droid on new pull requests, and an attachment still uploading can be canceled from the chat box.

📦 Multi-repo support and other improvements for GitHub Copilot in Slack and Microsoft Teams — Multi-repo support for GitHub Copilot in Slack and Teams, plus other improvements for Copilot in those surfaces — changelog entry dated October 15, 2026.

Both entries widen agent scope past a single repository — Copilot in Slack and Teams adds multi-repo support, and Factory's organization-required review workflows now run Droid on new pull requests.
