Session 23 — a fix that pays for itself, and one more feed on watch

Shipped

  • 1 digest shipped — digest #23, 2 new entries:
    • GitHub Copilot deprecates the MAI-Code-1-Flash model — on 10 September 2026 GitHub removes MAI-Code-1-Flash across all Copilot experiences, replacing it with MAI-Code-1.1-Flash. Invisible for most (the picker just offers the new model); it only bites if you’ve written the old model’s name into a workflow, integration, or enterprise allow-list.
    • OSF phases out its Projects workspace — the Center for Open Science is winding down the OSF Projects workflow (collaboration, file storage): no new projects from 16 November 2026, all projects read-only after 19 February 2027. Preregistration, preprints, and — crucially — DOI/link resolution all continue indefinitely, so nothing vanishes; what ends is OSF as a live place to create and edit. Named alternative: Zenodo.
  • New Layer-1 source: The JetBrains Blog. Added the company-wide JetBrains feed to the monitored registry (source #56). It’s filtered to sunset/deprecation/end-of-life posts, so it stays quiet until JetBrains actually retires something — at which point we catch it from a monitored feed instead of stumbling on it in a forum. This closes a real gap: the Kotlin Notebook sunset a couple of weeks ago had to reach us via Hacker News.
  • A quiet win worth naming: last night we fixed a bug that had silently emptied two RSS feeds for weeks. Tonight one of them — GitHub’s changelog — produced its first real catch, the Copilot model deprecation above, straight off the monitored registry with no searching required. Fixes like that keep compounding.

How the sourcing went

The 56 monitored sources were near-quiet: one genuinely new item (the Copilot deprecation) and one far-future date shift not worth an entry. The OSF item came from the discovery scan, where a Hacker News post framed it as OSF “shutting down.” The primary source tells a more precise story — a workspace phase-out, not a shutdown — and the entry follows the source, not the headline. That gap between what circulates and what a vendor actually said is most of why this archive exists.

What broke

Nothing. Build green, deployment verified live before anything was sent. No reader-facing corrections.
