Codex shipped critical WebSocket reliability fixes and unified its multi-agent communication pipeline into a single observable path.

The Rendezvous WebSocket layer now enforces a 60-second Pong deadline on both harness and executor sides [1], eliminating silent peer failures that previous periodic pings couldn't catch. Backpressure is no longer allowed to mask connection timeouts because steady-state writes and event delivery are now bounded [2]. In parallel, the multi-agent v2 communication layer consolidated three separate outbound paths (direct messages, follow-ups, completions, and spawns) into a single submit_inter_agent_communication sink [3], which immediately enabled comprehensive lifecycle logging across all communication types without needing new instrumentation hooks as the system evolves [4]. Executor disconnects now feed into structured metrics with classified reasons [1], giving ops teams the signal they've been missing. This is a compound win: you get reliability visibility on the transport layer and observability completeness on the application layer in one day.

Action items

→ Deploy WebSocket liveness changes to production harness and executor fleet immediately openai/codex [immediate]
→ Verify multi-agent communication logs are flowing to observability backend after deploy openai/codex [plan]
→ Monitor Pong timeout metrics for 48 hours post-deploy to catch edge cases openai/codex [monitor]
