Lawful AI Daily Brief — 2026-04-25

🛠️ Tool Updates

• Claude Code v2.1.119/118 shipped sticky /config, direct MCP hook calls (type: "mcp_tool"), visual mode upgrades, and cleaner privacy boot controls.
• Codex CLI 0.125.0 brought stronger app-server plumbing (Unix sockets, better resume/fork flows, sticky envs, and cleaner permission-profile consistency).
• Net effect: faster agent loops with fewer “why did this break in automation?” moments. ⚡

💡 Tip of the Day

Want speed and auditability? Start tracking reasoning-token burn in your normal run logs:

codex exec --json "analyze src/" | jq '.usage.reasoning_tokens'

⚖️ Legal x AI Watch

• Fresh legal-AI repo activity (last day):
  • Jozithe3019/ai-act-guardian — EU AI Act code-audit tooling with taint analysis.
  • ra7701/aulite — policy proxy for AI services with audit-first controls.
  • Kabbalistgenusmasdevallia941/EUfirst — EU-sovereign AI tools tracker.
• Compliance move worth stealing: keep an append-only log per run (model/provider + tool calls + policy decision). Your future audit self will thank you.
