CODEX TIGHTENS MEMORY WITH MOVE-ONLY SUBMISSIONS AS NODE SDK COMPLETES LINTING OVERHAUL

Codex eliminated cloning overhead from submission operations while the Node SDK wrapped up a 185-part linting cleanup that touches every rule in the compatibility matrix.

Codex's top change removes Clone trait requirements from Submission and Op types [1], consuming operations directly instead of copying them through the submission loop. This is a memory efficiency win for high-throughput submission paths. Two security fixes landed alongside: the Windows sandbox backend now respects configured sandbox levels and rejects managed networking when restricted tokens are in use [2], and Statsig exports now exclude internal metrics like conversation turn count and response-engine latency [3]. The SDK also extracted persisted history types into a dedicated crate [4], cleaning up the domain boundary between protocol and runtime state. Over on openai-node, Hayden pushed five consecutive linting PRs (parts 145-149 of a 185-part stack) enabling object-shorthand, arrow-body-style, unicorn/no-useless-undefined, unicorn/prefer-module, and no-shadow rules [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]. Each validates cumulatively at the stack head with full lint and test coverage. The Python SDK regenerated its API surface and updated generated-file headers to credit Castiron [10]. Across all three repos: 92 commits, 92 PRs, 2 releases in the last 24 hours.
