Release notes
NEXO 7.26.0 - provider runtime parity for Claude and Codex
v7.26.0 is the provider-runtime parity release for Desktop-managed Brain. The runtime account surface can now select Anthropic Claude or OpenAI Codex while keeping that choice separate from API-key or BYOK preferences.
Brain now persists provider/client/session metadata across interactive sessions, automation runs, and cron executions. A conversation that changes runtime records the provider switch and starts the new engine with continuity metadata instead of silently reusing stale Claude or Codex state.
The managed install path now bundles Codex runtime artifacts, validates native vendor presence, and fails closed in Desktop-managed mode instead of falling back to a global host install. That keeps Mac and Windows Desktop behavior aligned with the same managed-runtime contract already used for Claude Code.
