    Episode 53: OpenClaw 2026.5.18, Codex 0.131.0, Copilot Remote Agents, and Claude Search Grounding

    AgentStack Daily EP053 opens with concrete release work: OpenClaw v2026.5.18 adds typed plugin tooling, faster gateway readiness, dialog-aware browser automation, runtime parity QA, realtime Android Talk Mode, safer media handling, stronger channel delivery, Codex app-server repairs, proxy TLS support, and operator-facing Mac app polish. OpenAI Codex CLI 0.131.0 adds richer TUI controls, unified mentions, plugin marketplace and sharing commands, daemon-managed remote control, configured remote environments, an `openai-codex` Python SDK, `codex doctor`, and tougher sandbox, auth, app-server, and state handling. Then the episode moves to GitHub's May 18 Copilot agent updates for remote CLI steering, cheaper model choices, and one-click Actions repair, followed by Anthropic's API update that gives Claude's web search tool richer SEC filing data for cited financial research workflows.
