MasterMindMandan - Field Report

v2.1.38 dropped today (Feb 10). You are running 2.1.38 already. No action needed -- just confirming you're on latest.

Security researchers weaponized CVE-2025-7656 against latest Cursor and Windsurf versions. Both IDEs run legacy Chromium builds with 94+ known vulnerabilities. If you use either IDE, assess exposure immediately.

bun --version returns "not found". Bun is at v1.3.8 with new Bun.markdown parser and bun build --metafile-md for LLM-friendly module graphs. Install recommended.

New @tool decorator supports annotations parameter with metadata hints: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint. Allows MCP servers to declare tool behavior semantics for better permission handling.

Fixed VS Code terminal scroll-to-top regression, Tab key now properly autocompletes instead of queueing slash commands, bash permission matching fixed for env variable wrappers, text between tool uses no longer disappears.

Combines GPT-5.2-Codex coding performance with stronger reasoning. 25% faster for Codex users. Steer mode now stable and enabled by default (Enter sends immediately during running tasks, Tab queues follow-up). Switch via codex --model gpt-5.3-codex.

Open-source Gemini CLI extension that stores developer context as versioned Markdown files. Replaces ephemeral AI chat sessions with persistent context directories preserving product knowledge, technical decisions, and workflow rules across sessions and team members. Similar concept to our CLAUDE.md approach.

Gemini 3 Pro and 3 Flash available for paid tier users. Flash provides faster performance for high-frequency dev tasks with auto-routing between Pro and Flash based on task complexity.

Developers can now use Claude's autonomous agent capabilities directly within Apple's IDE. Significant for cross-platform development workflows.

Bun.markdown is a built-in CommonMark-compliant Markdown parser written in Zig. bun build --metafile-md outputs LLM-friendly module graph metadata. Also fixes Windows npm install -g bun regression.

After the failed OpenAI acquisition, Windsurf (formerly Codeium) has been acquired by Cognition AI. Introduces the Cascade Engine -- a graph-based reasoning system that maps entire codebase logic and dependencies for persistent architectural context.

Anthropic announced Claude will remain permanently ad-free, stating advertising incentives would fundamentally conflict with building a helpful AI assistant. Positive signal for enterprise trust.

Goldman Sachs using Claude to automate trade accounting and client onboarding. Validates enterprise-grade agent architectures similar to what we build with GSD and CORTEX.

Using out-of-the-box capabilities, Opus 4.6 identified over 500 previously unknown zero-day flaws in open-source code. Demonstrates the model's deep code analysis ability.

codex app command now launches Codex Desktop from CLI on macOS, with automatic DMG download if missing. MCP action caching also added to reduce load latency.

LLM | Commercial | 1M context (beta), adaptive thinking, 128K output, agent teams. Top finance agent benchmark. Already your primary model.

Code | Commercial | 25% faster than 5.2, combines frontier coding + reasoning. Steer mode default. Available in Codex CLI.

Multimodal | Commercial | 1M context, Deep Think 2.5x reasoning boost. Flash for high-frequency tasks with auto-routing.

LLM | Open-Source (MIT) | Top open-source model for reasoning and agentic workloads. Self-hostable, permissive license.

Multimodal | Open-Source | Natively multimodal (text+image+video), Scout has 10M token context window. MoE architecture.

LLM | Open-Source | 92% of GPT-5.2 at ~15% of the price. 675B params, Mixture of Experts architecture.

LLM+Video | Open License | Leads open-source coding/reasoning benchmarks. Advanced video generation capabilities.

LLM | Open-Source | Dominates global reasoning standards. Strong multilingual support including Arabic.

LLM | Open-Weight | OpenAI's first open-weight models. 120B and 20B parameter variants for self-hosting.

Both major registries now formally accept digital MRV for verification. AI+satellite monitoring can replace manual audits -- auditor efficiency jumps from 150 projects/year to 10/day. Direct impact on Carbon Hub DMRV workflows.

New cross-industry working group developing standardised dMRV protocols. Sets direction for 2026 pilot projects. Monitor for methodology alignment with Carbon Hub PDD work.

LSTM-XGBoost hybrid architecture achieves 3221 tCO2e reductions and 60%+ EUI improvements in retrofit cases. Aligns with Green Mark certification. Applicable to AEC Studio green building work.

Comprehensive Python package bridging AI and geospatial data: satellite imagery, aerial photos, vector data with deep learning. Could integrate with GIS Command Center skills.

Foundation models generating embeddings for satellite imagery, fine-tunable for building/road mapping, disaster damage assessment. Natural language interfaces for zero-shot classification.

Oman Lens satellite combines AI with advanced imaging for environmental monitoring, disaster management, and urban planning. Gulf region coverage relevant to Carbon Hub projects.

AI bid tools now validate phrasing against policy, detect contradictions across documents, and check for risky/outdated statements. 68% of proposal teams already using generative AI.

Automated requirements extraction, compliance checking, and custom scope generation from RFP documents. Could accelerate Bid-Tender-Contracts workspace proposal cycles.

AI automates energy modelling, compliance checks, and ongoing performance monitoring for LEED/Green Mark. Shifts from one-time certification to continuous compliance. Relevant across all AEC Studio regions.

USGBC 2026 Local Government Leadership Program accepting applications through Feb 13. Relevant for city-scale green certification advisory work.
