[ca] CLI version update: Claude Code, Codex, Playwright MCP, Pi (2026-08-07) #51014

Description

@github-actions

CLI & Docker image version check — 2026-08-07

5 CLI tools have updates available; all Docker images (zizmor, poutine, actionlint, runner-guard, syft, grype, grant, yamllint) are unchanged (version and registry digest both match the pinned constants — no action needed there).

pkg/constants/version_constants.go has been updated and make recompile was run successfully (276/276 workflows compiled). @playwright/cli was intentionally not bumped — see below.

Summary

Tool Old New Risk
Claude Code 2.1.222 2.1.224 Low
OpenAI Codex 0.146.0 0.147.0 Medium
Playwright MCP 0.0.78 0.0.79 Low
Pi 0.83.0 0.84.0 Low
Playwright CLI 0.1.17 0.1.18 (held, cooldown) Medium
GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.78 unchanged
GitHub MCP Server v1.8.0 unchanged
Playwright Browser v1.62.1 unchanged
MCP Gateway v0.4.8 unchanged

Claude Code: 2.1.222 → 2.1.224

Two patch releases (2.1.223, 2.1.224). Claude Code has no public repository/changelog; npm metadata shows only version bumps published 2026-08-04 through 2026-08-07. No known breaking changes. Risk: Low.

OpenAI Codex: 0.146.0 → 0.147.0

Chores

Full changelog: openai/codex@rust-v0.146.0...rust-v0.147.0

Impact assessment: The removed codex exec --full-auto flag is a breaking CLI change — worth grepping gh-aw's Codex engine integration (pkg/workflow/codex_engine.go) and workflow templates for any use of --full-auto before release, since it would now error instead of falling back to --sandbox workspace-write. No such usage was found in a quick pass, but a dedicated review before merge is recommended. Risk: Medium (one breaking flag removal, otherwise additive).

Playwright MCP: 0.0.78 → 0.0.79

Tracks the microsoft/playwright monorepo release that also produced Playwright CLI v0.1.18 (see below) — the two packages share a release train, so the underlying MCP server changes are documented there: structured JSON snapshots, configurable snapshot.boxes, extension-relay reconnect/CDP profile fixes, and a Host/Origin validation hardening fix for the extension relay WebSocket upgrade. Risk: Low (bug fixes and additive config, no breaking API change for the gh-aw integration).

Pi: 0.83.0 → 0.84.0

No public repository; npm metadata shows only a version bump with no changelog detail available. Risk: Low.

Playwright CLI: 0.1.17 → 0.1.18 — HELD (cooldown)

v0.1.18 was published 2026-08-06T00:15:21Z (~30 hours before this check). pkg/constants/version_constants_test.go (TestDefaultPlaywrightCLIVersionOutsideCooldownWindow) enforces a 72-hour cooldown before a new Playwright CLI version can be pinned, so this update was not applied. It should become eligible around 2026-08-09T00:15:21Z.

Docker images — no changes

All 8 images were checked for both version and registry digest drift. Every digest matched the value already pinned in pkg/cli/docker_images.go exactly:

Image Constant Pinned version Registry digest match
zizmor ZizmorImage 1.29.0 ✓ matches
poutine PoutineImage 1.1.6 ✓ matches
actionlint ActionlintImage 1.7.12 ✓ matches
runner-guard RunnerGuardImage 3.1.5 ✓ matches
syft SyftImage v1.50.0 ✓ matches
grype GrypeImage v0.116.1 ✓ matches
grant GrantImage v0.6.8 ✓ matches
yamllint YamllintImage latest ✓ matches

No edits needed to pkg/cli/docker_images.go.


Changes made

  • pkg/constants/version_constants.go: bumped DefaultClaudeCodeVersion, DefaultCodexVersion, DefaultPiVersion, DefaultPlaywrightMCPVersion.
  • Ran make fmt and make recompile (foreground) — 276/276 workflow lock files recompiled successfully with no new errors.
  • pkg/constants/version_constants_test.go was left unchanged since Playwright CLI was not bumped.
  • Not committed — this issue documents the change so it can be reviewed and merged via PR.

Next actions

  1. Review and merge the version bump for Claude Code, Codex, Playwright MCP, and Pi.
  2. Grep pkg/workflow/codex_engine.go and workflow prompt templates for --full-auto before merging the Codex bump (flag was removed in 0.147.0).
  3. Re-run this check after 2026-08-09 to pick up Playwright CLI v0.1.18 once its cooldown clears.
  4. Regenerate wasm golden test fixtures referencing the old Claude Code version (pkg/workflow/testdata/TestWasmGolden_AllEngines/claude.golden) via make update-wasm-golden as part of the follow-up PR.
