Shipped Oct 8 in response to a rise in low-quality contributions, repos with pull request limits can now include drafts, closing the loophole where one account could open unlimited drafts and trigger notifications and CI runs. If you run agents that open draft PRs on repos you don't own, expect to hit those caps sooner.
Presented at Linux Plumbers 2026 this week, Boro uses local models to validate kernel backports and build, boot, and test patches, with remote OpenAI compatible servers or Claude, OpenCode, and Codex as alternative back ends. It's Apache 2.0 at NVIDIA/boro on GitHub, and its lead wants to fold some of it into Google's Sashiko review bot…
Announced Oct 9, Harness bought select Augment Code assets, including Cosmos, the Auggie CLI, and the Code Context Engine, and Cosmos becomes the Harness Cosmos Software Factory Agent, where agents in isolated VMs plan a change from a ticket or bug, write code and tests, and keep fixing the same PR as reviews and checks come back. The release doesn't say what happens to Augment's existing IDE extensions or pricing, so current users should watch for a migration notice…
Posted to r/mcp on Oct 8, ShareBox lets you ask Claude to build a small web tool, publish it to your own instance over MCP, and get back an HTTPS link you can share by email, with Google sign in, per tool storage, and gVisor sandboxing handled by the platform. It's AGPL, self hosted, listed in the official MCP registry as io.github.zalaso/sharebox , and very new (zero GitHub stars at time of writing)…
Released Oct 9 as part of Upstash AgentKit, @upstash/mcp toolkit sits on the official MCP TypeScript SDK and adds the spec's Tasks extension for long running tools plus Events, a not yet spec proposal for waking an agent via webhooks. Client support is thin: as of Oct 7, ChatGPT handles Events in Work chats, while Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor support neither…
Shown on HN Oct 7 and inspired by the pi agent, agentc is a static, embeddable coding agent with a TUI, agent loop, tools, MCP, and skills all built as extensions, aimed at tiny hardware or embedding in your own binaries without a Node dependency chain. CI builds cover Linux (x64, arm64, riscv64), Windows (x64, arm64), and macOS arm64; the Rust/C embedding API is still listed as coming in a few days, and the author wants Mac testers…
