Lawful AI Daily Brief — 2026-04-12

🛠️ Tool Updates

• Claude Code v2.1.101 dropped quality-of-life upgrades: better focus/brief behavior, improved team onboarding flow, and cleaner handling for rate-limit/tool errors.
• Codex CLI 0.120.0 added background progress streaming for long-running jobs + nicer hook visibility in TUI.
• Practical takeaway: agent runs are getting more observable, less “is this thing alive?” and more “yep, it’s cooking.” 🍳

💡 Tip of the Day

If your AI workflows touch compliance-sensitive data, log every tool call like it might be read by future-you during an audit (because it will).

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# tiny audit append helper
tool="$1"; purpose="$2"; data_class="$3"
printf '%s tool=%s purpose=%s data_class=%s retention=30d\n' \
  "$(date -Iseconds)" "$tool" "$purpose" "$data_class" \
  >> .ai-audit.log
