Both Node and Python SDKs shipped Admin API Key support [ref:6] [ref:11] while Codex killed a Windows bug that left terminal sessions hanging after exit [ref:2].

The openai-node v6.36.0 [1] and openai-python v2.34.0 [2] releases both introduce Admin API Keys per endpoint, expanding credential management for teams managing multiple organizations. These aren't just version bumps — they're infrastructure changes that unblock multi-tenant deployments. On the Codex side, a critical Windows PTY fix [3] resolves background terminals staying visible after shell exit by preserving ConPTY ownership through teardown, eliminating EOF propagation hangs. The same team landed three prep PRs [4] [5] that restructure process-tool plumbing and thread metadata routing [5], setting up selected environment support without changing behavior yet. A new keymap debug inspector [6] ships in the TUI to help users identify terminal key recognition issues, turning blind bug reports into actionable data. On the infrastructure side, DNS timeout coverage [7] hardens the network proxy against ambient resolver timing issues.
