OpenAI lanza discretamente "Watch and fix" para pull requests de Codex
La aplicación de escritorio de producción puede asignar a Codex la tarea de seguir revisando un PR cada 10 minutos, reparar fallas de CI y conflictos de fusión, subir correcciones y, opcionalmente, continuar hasta que el PR se fusione.

Por qué importa
Los agentes de programación están pasando de la generación de código de una sola vez a la propiedad persistente de la entrega. El latido de Codex apunta a la costosa última milla: mantener un PR en verde y listo para fusionarse mientras CI y la rama base continúan cambiando.
Reporting record
Finding
OpenAI’s latest production desktop build contains a new “Watch and fix” pull-request automation that attaches a 10-minute heartbeat to a Codex task, repeatedly checks the live PR state, fixes relevant CI failures and merge conflicts, pushes repairs, and can optionally continue until the pull request is merged.
How we verified
Methods: testing, documents.
RuntimeWire found user-facing settings titled “Watch and fix pull requests” in OpenAI desktop version 26.901.20858, build 7658, alongside controls for “Auto-merge when ready” and custom “Pull request watch instructions.”
The implementation creates an automation of type heartbeat named Auto-fix PR #<number>. When first activated, the child task is told: “Begin automatically fixing PR #<number>” and that a 10-minute heartbeat will continue checking the pull request until the task is complete or blocked.
The default automation instructions direct Codex to inspect the latest PR state with gh, including mergeability and current checks; repair failing checks caused by the PR; resolve merge conflicts with the base branch; use logs and CI annotations before editing; perform mutations inside an isolated git worktree; commit and push repairs to the PR branch; re-check live GitHub state rather than relying on earlier turns; and revisit pending checks on the next 10-minute heartbeat.
When the user enables automatic merging, the embedded instructions tell Codex to merge once required checks pass and the PR is mergeable. If merging fails, Codex is instructed to diagnose the failure, update the branch when needed, retry, and continue until the PR is merged or closed.
The previous production package RuntimeWire analyzed was version 26.820.60940, build 7119. Exact searches of that baseline for the new PR-watch configuration keys and related automatic-fix markers returned no matches.
