Shown on HN Oct 23, the MIT-licensed, macOS-only server controls a running Photoshop over AppleScript with about 20 tools for layers, adjustment-layer grading, Select Subject, masks, text and export, and every edit is one undo step that rolls back automatically if it fails. Install from source for now (./scripts/install.sh --client claude-code), since the 1.2.0 DMGs are unnotarized (build notes).
Announced Oct 22, new sessions in most Claude apps will stop asking you to approve each step; a classifier lets safe actions through and blocks risky ones while Claude looks for another route, and you can switch a session back to manual anytime.

Heads up: x mcp header on number typed tool params is now rejected per the 2026 07 28 spec, so switch those to integers…

Chroma Cloud is winding down: writes stop November 22 and reads stop December 22, 2026, so hosted users need to migrate (Magica)…
Released Oct 24, the fix only patch to Steve Yegge's agent memory and issue tracker stops bd purge retention sweeps from deleting a closed root that still has live work beneath it, and stops auto backup from skipping commits that land mid sync.
