How to change reasoning effort in Codex CLI: model_reasoning_effort values and one-off overrides

Originally published at https://aicoding-guide.com . Codex feels slow, or it overthinks a trivial fix. The knob for that is reasoning effort , the Codex counterpart of extended thinking in Claude Code, controlled by the model_reasoning_effort key. In short: set model_reasoning_effort = "high" (or another value) in ~/.codex/config.toml to change it permanently, use the -c flag for a single run, or /model during a session. The five levels are minimal , low , medium , high , ...

AI Agent Authentication in 2026: Web Bot Auth, ARD & OAuth

AI agent authentication is not one protocol. It is a stack. An agent may need to discover a tool, prove which workload is running, authenticate an HTTP request, show that a user delegated authority, and leave enough evidence to reconstruct the action later. ARD, workload identity, Web Bot Auth, and OAuth solve different parts of that sequence. Treating any one of them as the whole answer creates an identity gap. That distinction got sharper in 2026. Google announced the open Agentic R...

Bot Detection False Positives: How to Actually Test Accuracy

The fastest way to lose confidence in bot protection is not to miss a bot. It is to block a real customer. A missed scraper costs bandwidth or content. A blocked customer costs a sale, a support escalation, and trust that took months to earn. Which is why a bot detection benchmark cannot stop at a single accuracy number. It has to answer a harder question: what happens to real people when this policy leaves the dashboard and starts controlling traffic? A false positive is a bu...

A deprecated value has to live somewhere, and widening the set was the wrong somewhere

A check refused a row I had just added. The row was a retired signing key, kept so that records signed under it can still be read. The check said: refused scheme_outside_the_set scheme=keyed_sha256 schemes=["ed25519"] The set of accepted schemes has exactly one element, and a published limits document says so in one sentence. The retired key's scheme is not that element. The check was right. Three places a deprecated value can go option what happen...

ESLint took 4.4s to lint Vue's core. oxlint took 0.24s. Then I turned on the type-aware rules.

ESLint took 4.4 seconds to lint 445 TypeScript files. oxlint took 0.24. Turn on the type-aware rules that most projects actually want and ESLint climbs to 12 seconds, while oxlint, doing the type-aware pass too, finishes in under one. I went in expecting to write that oxlint was fast but limited. The limited part did not survive the test. The setup oxlint is the JavaScript and TypeScript linter from VoidZero, the company Evan You started after Vue and Vite, written in Rust and pi...

🚀 Crowdwide Just Became a KODA Season 2 Champion 👑

Honestly, I didn't expect this at all. Around 4–5 days ago, I hosted Crowdwide mainly for testing. It wasn't something I was actively promoting, and I definitely wasn't thinking about entering it into any contest. Then @koda2026 found it on DEV.to. He became the first person to actually try out Crowdwide and even reported some bugs he found while testing it. And yes — some of those bugs were completely expected because the application wasn't actually ready for public account cre...

I Built a Python CLI Toolbox Instead of Writing One-Off Scripts

Whenever I ask an AI assistant to do a small task, it writes a quick Python script for me. Convert an image. Compress a PDF. Convert a CSV to Excel. The script works, I use it once, and then it disappears. At some point I thought: Why keep asking for one-off scripts when I could build my own reusable toolbox? So I did. Toolbox is a small Python CLI with utilities for the file and image tasks I keep needing — CSV ↔ Excel conversion, image grayscale/blur/compress, and PDF...

Show HN: Analyst Index – analysts who make money telling you good stock calls

Hi HN! What if analyst ratings could be relied on to help you find the next Sandisk, before it takes off? On Analyst Index, analysts publish price targets with a maturity date. Every call gets scored against what the stock actually did, so an analyst builds a record on accuracy instead of on follower count. I started this because after riding the Tesla wave in 2019/2020, I messed up epically with some high risk bets that didn’t work out, including one pick from an analyst I didn’t know was not m...
