Added pinned tabs to Agent Browser. Instead of pinning to the left like Safari does, the only thing pinned tabs do is they can't be closed. I prefer it this way so I can still come across nuggets randomly and not lose them.

6 hours into GPT-6.1 Sol, it already looks better for my work than GPT-6 Sol or Astra did. I compared its sessions with similar GPT-5.6 Sol sessions from the previous 7 days:

I thought gpt-6.1-sol was the same price as gpt-6-sol but I was mistaken. The cached input price is half. So vs gpt-5.6-sol, it is 1/2 input price, 1/4 cached input price! So Codex Pro 200 is a better deal if the 6.1 Sol works as well as 5.6 works equally well.

I catch agent task drift by having AgentControl ask the coordinator when work runs too long or costs too much: "Why has x-y-z-a-b been running for 3 hours and spent $5.56 on tokens? It's a self-contained feature change, right?" The coordinator usually knows when to intervene.

Coding agents changed how I work outside coding too. Things I used to do by hand: - fix GSC issues - fix Ahrefs issues - exchange backlinks through LinkBunny - analyze content I set up scripts and loops so agents check these periodically instead of waiting for me to remember.

The least fun part of building an orchestration tool is finding an issue while 20 unrelated sessions are using it, then having to restart it to install the fix. At least coding agents are surprisingly good at being cut off abruptly and resuming their work.

Tell your coding agent "build backlinks for me" and it has a few options: automate DIY outreach, buy placements, or use LinkBunny's nofollow network. I added a comparison, a Codex setup guide and a free checker for href, rel and redirects. getlinkbunny.com/alternatives

I ran on Astra-max for a day and asked Codex to compare it with the previous 7 days of Sol-5.6-med and Astra was more $ expensive and slower. Who prefers Astra? Why, and what kind of work is it better at for you?

The agents initially had very limited access to the internet: they could load URLs but not send any data. Agents created a series of workarounds, using a link-shortener site to create almost a million URLs that, when chained together, let them execute code to hack Hugging Face.

Agent Browser now captures full-page screenshots. I hadn't needed it until now, but it lets coding agents verify the entire page after a change and close the loop. Always give agents a way to check their own work.

I built split screen into AgentControl months ago and hadn't used it since. Today it finally helped: I referred to the cost table while reading the analysis below. Still wondering if a screenshot would have been enough. Every feature must be worth the complexity it introduces.

AgentControl auto-compacts closed Codex sessions 20 minutes after the last turn if they're over 70% of the context window. The prompt cache TTL is 30 minutes and the session will need compaction anyway. Might as well do it before the cache expires and save on token cost.
