Two free 262K endpoints vanish overnight
OpenRouter's free tier lost Nex-N2.5-Mini and -Pro (262K context each) plus Z.ai GLM 5.2 (32K), leaving 21 free models that span 65K to 1M context from Google, NVIDIA, Qwen and others. If a prototype still pings those :free slugs, repoint it today before the 404s start.
Claude Code 2.1.283 adds audit controls
The latest Claude Code broadens audit controls across gateways, MCP servers, plugins, workflows and /doctor, alongside faster startup, lower latency, and fixes to sessions, sandboxing and Windows. Worth the bump if you run MCP servers or plugins across a team.
GitHub's autofix now reads Copilot Memory
Agentic autofix pulls context from your existing Copilot memories when it resolves security alerts, so proposed fixes lean on your repo's own conventions instead of generic patches. It's live now for code-scanning users.
CodeQL 2.27.1 ships new queries
The new CodeQL release adds queries for C/C++ and C#, support for Kotlin 2.4.20, and query-accuracy improvements. Self-hosted code-scanning setups should upgrade to pick up the wider coverage.
GitHub Actions retires Node 20
JavaScript actions now run on Node 24 and Node 20 is gone from the runners. Any action still pinned to the Node 20 runtime will fail, so move to using: node24 (or update the action) before your next CI run.
