Agent pull requests are everywhere. Here's how to review them.
Agent pull requests have already become a large operational surface in software development, but scale and reviewer comfort do not make them safe by default. The article argues that agent-written changes can raise maintenance burden, hide correctness failures behind green CI, an…
Securing the git push pipeline: Responding to a critical remote code execution vulnerability
GitHub reports a critical git push pipeline vulnerability whose severity came from a very small attacker action surface and a very large downstream consequence: one crafted push, carrying a malicious push option, could turn unsanitized user input into trusted internal metadata,…
How exposed is your code? Find out in minutes—for free - The GitHub Blog
GitHub is positioning Code Security Risk Assessment as a fast, free entry-point security scan for organizations: a one-click, CodeQL-based pass over up to 20 of the most active repositories that produces an exposure dashboard rather than a full organizational audit. The practica…
Selective Memory for Artificial Intelligence: Write-Time Gating with Hierarchical Archiving
The paper argues that memory quality can be improved upstream, at write time, rather than mainly at retrieval time. By scoring incoming knowledge for salience and admitting only a small subset into the active store while archiving lower-salience and superseded material with line…
Labor market impacts of AI: A new measure and early evidence
This paper argues that labor-market analysis improves when AI exposure is measured through realized, work-related model use rather than theoretical capability alone. Its central move is to build an "observed exposure" metric that counts tasks as exposed when they are both LLM-fe…
GitHub Copilot CLI combines model families for a second opinion
GitHub is testing an explicit cross-family review layer inside Copilot CLI: a primary coding agent can hand its plan or work to a second model from a different model family for independent critique, and GitHub reports that this setup materially narrows the performance gap on a h…
GitHub availability report: March 2026 - The GitHub Blog
GitHub reported four separate availability incidents in March 2026, with one broad platform degradation on March 3 and later incidents that were narrower but still severe. The report supports a specific operating lesson: platform instability did not come from one repeating globa…
Autonomous Evaluation and Refinement of Digital Agents
This paper argues that digital agents can be evaluated automatically with useful, though clearly imperfect, fidelity to oracle metrics or human judgment, and that those evaluator signals can do more than score behavior: they can materially improve agent performance when used as…
