Codex refactored its threading and database layer for consistency while the Node SDK ships four new schema helpers and fixes audio streaming in a single release push.

Codex landed three infrastructure consolidations that will reduce initialization complexity for the entire codebase. Thread startup now flows through a single `StartThreadOptions` entry point [1], SQLite configuration centralized into a `SqliteConfig` object [2], and app-server integration tests now use composable typed helpers [3]. These are the kind of refactors that pay dividends across the entire test and deployment surface. On the Node SDK front, HAYDEN-OAI shipped a cluster of schema helpers: `standardResponseFormat()` and companions for Standard Schema validators [5], `zodRealtimeFunction()` for Realtime clients that omits the `strict` field [8], and Zod schema definition support [6]. The SDK also fixed audio streaming to accumulate chat-completion audio fields instead of replacing them with each delta [7]. Python 2.47.0 landed with experimental HTTPX2 client support [9], letting teams opt into the next HTTP generation while HTTPX remains the default. Codex also bumped Bazel Rust from 0.0.58 to 0.0.96 and LLVM to 0.8.11 with Windows native execution support [4].
