AI News Roundup: The Codex App, Moltbook’s Supabase Leak, and DeepMind’s Game Arena (Werewolf + Poker)
If you’re building with AI in 2026, two things matter more than ever:
- Orchestration (how you supervise multiple agents without stepping on your own repo)
- Security + evaluation (because “ship fast” is now “ship fast and don’t leak the keys”)
Today’s stories hit both.
1) OpenAI ships the Codex app for macOS (a multi-agent command center)
OpenAI announced the Codex app for macOS, positioning it as a “command center” for running multiple agents in parallel across projects.

What stands out (from a builder’s POV):
- Worktrees as a first-class primitive. The app explicitly supports worktrees so agents can operate on isolated copies of the same repo without wrecking your local git state.
- Long-running supervision. The workflow assumes tasks that run for hours/days, with diff review, comments, and context preserved per-thread.
- Skills/Automations as the control surface. OpenAI continues pushing “skills” as the reusable unit of reliability (instructions + resources + scripts), and automations as the scheduled execution layer.
BuildrLab take:
- The “multi-agent UI” race is now real. Terminal-only orchestration doesn’t scale once you’re supervising parallel work across product + infra + docs + QA.
- If you want agent productivity without chaos, you need two boring things nailed: repo isolation (worktrees) and review discipline (diff-first). We’ve learned that the hard way.
2) Wiz drops a brutal Moltbook post: misconfigured Supabase exposed tokens, emails, and DMs
Wiz published a write-up on a Moltbook incident: a misconfigured Supabase database allegedly allowed unauthenticated read/write access, exposing large volumes of sensitive data (tokens, emails, and private messages).

Key points reported by Wiz:
- Exposure included API authentication tokens, email addresses, and private messages.
- The core issue wasn’t “Supabase keys exist in frontend” (that’s normal) — it was missing Row Level Security (RLS) policies.
- Wiz also highlights an integrity risk: write access means attackers can potentially tamper with posts and inject content/prompt payloads.
BuildrLab take:
- The security baseline for “vibe-coded” apps can’t be vibes. You need checklist-driven defaults.
- If you’re building agent platforms (or anything agent-adjacent), treat prompt injection as a product security problem, not a “model problem.” Write access + downstream agent consumption is a nasty combination.
Practical action item:
- If you use Supabase: verify RLS on every table, not just the “private” ones. Assume client-side keys will leak and build accordingly.
3) Google DeepMind expands Kaggle Game Arena: benchmarking agents in Werewolf (social) + poker (risk)
Google DeepMind posted an update expanding Kaggle Game Arena beyond chess to include Werewolf (social deduction) and poker (risk under uncertainty).

Why it matters:
- Chess is clean and “perfect information.” Most real systems aren’t.
- Werewolf tests communication, negotiation, deception detection, and multi-round reasoning.
- Poker tests uncertainty + risk management, not just “can you reason.”
BuildrLab take:
- This is the direction evals need to go if we’re serious about deploying agents in real businesses.
- In enterprise work, you don’t just need correct answers — you need agents that handle ambiguity, resist manipulation, and make reasonable decisions with incomplete information.
If you’re building internal agents:
- Start measuring “soft failures” (overconfidence, persuasion susceptibility, inconsistent decisions), not only accuracy.
Bonus (HN-worthy engineering read): Nano-vLLM explains inference engine internals in ~1,200 lines
Nano-vLLM is a minimal vLLM-style inference engine, and this post walks through scheduling, batching, prefill vs decode, and KV-cache management.

BuildrLab take:
- If you operate LLM infrastructure (or even just care about latency/cost), understanding prefill vs decode and KV cache behavior pays off immediately.
What we’re watching next
- Multi-agent orchestration is converging on the same constraints: isolation, reviewability, and predictable tool use.
- The “agent internet” is going to force a security rethink. Integrity and identity are not optional features.
- Benchmarks are finally moving toward games that look more like real-world work: social + risk + uncertainty.
