Headroom Daily: WebSocket Hook Parity and Historical Research Fixes
Proxy extensions now handle Codex WebSocket traffic and report real token savings, while the research pipeline fixes historical windows and source fallbacks. The pattern is parity and honesty: no more silent misses in routing, metrics, or past reports.

Top story: proxy extensions can finally see and steer the traffic they were missing, especially Codex over WebSocket.
First theme is WebSocket parity and honest savings numbers. Merged pull requests 4232 and 4233 add an optional turn hook to rewrite an OpenAI Responses request before model-specific work like compression, pricing and routing, and it runs on both H T T P and every WebSocket create frame, including later frames in the…
Second theme is historical accuracy and resilience in the last-30-days research pipeline. Pull requests 1295 and 1296 anchor the archive and developer community sources to the requested as-of window instead of today, so past reports stop citing future papers or returning empty lanes. On reliability, 1292 adds a…
Also noted: Agent-Reach pull request 815 moves channel login and retry steps into a shared resumable runtime, and docs fix 4258 corrects Antigravity setup.
What's next: if you ship a proxy extension, test WebSocket paths and watch the savings totals; if you use historical research, re-run a past window to confirm coverage.
