SDK TWINS SHIP REALTIME 2 AS CODEX HARDENS DEPENDENCY GATES

Both the Node and Python SDKs released major versions this morning with realtime translate support and manual API updates, while Codex tightened its dependency intake with a 7-day bake period and normalized tool identity across MCP connections.

The openai-node [1] and openai-python [2] ecosystems are now in lockstep on the realtime 2 spec, with web_search_call.results output options and admin organization usage response updates flowing through both. This matters because teams using parallel SDKs won't hit integration drift. On the Codex side, three structural changes landed overnight that reshape how the platform absorbs external code: a 7-day Dependabot cooldown [3] that lets dependencies stabilize before adoption and gives security tooling time to detect malware, removal of synthetic string-keyed MCP tool maps [4] to keep tool identity single-sourced in ToolInfo objects, and configurable trace metadata [5] that flows through OtelSettings without touching span callsites. Thread pagination APIs [6] landed to handle large thread queries across app-server and ThreadStore, and cargo doctest disabling [7] cut test execution time 4x for crates without doctests.
