Watch releases
Detect upstream CLI updates and keep install evidence before benchmark work is queued.
Open Version Manager
Track releases. Pin versions. Catch changes.
Born from a real failure: Codex 0.144.0 installed cleanly, passed every version check — and couldn't execute a single command. So OVM gates every release on a real tool-use probe before it reaches you.

One score per release. OVM normalizes startup, response, and MCP overhead into a lower-is-faster performance index.

Pin exact builds
Install and switch Codex, Claude Code, and Pi versions without losing the current working setup.
Measure locally
Run native macOS clean-room startup tests and real-home MCP/auth response checks. Benchmarks cover Claude Code and Codex today; Pi is managed, not yet measured.
Publish evidence
Turn benchmark history and release watcher output into static research artifacts.
