An Update Watch for Features That Replace Custom Work
A quiet recurring watch designed to identify new app permissions, integrations, account support, controls, retirements, and migrations. It compares installed builds with official announcements so server-delivered changes are considered alongside desktop releases.

Automation created
Highlights
- The source created ChatGPT & Codex update watch for 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Eastern.
- No direct app-updated trigger was exposed in the source session, so the watch used scheduled checks.
- The first run was configured to catch up on recent changes; later runs should avoid repeating findings.
- Alerts explain the change, its consequence for existing custom work, required action, and supporting evidence.

Actions and follow-ups
Actions Taken
Created a thread-attached heartbeat and specified twice-daily Eastern checks, a first-run catch-up, meaningful-change alerts, and quiet unchanged runs.
Actions Outstanding
The source established configuration, not delivery performance. This intake preserves that September 11 checkpoint; it does not assert later execution, create another watch, or change its schedule.

Source conclusion
It checks installed builds and official announcements to catch changes delivered independently of app updates.
Decisions
- Check both installed versions and official announcements rather than relying on app builds alone.
- Stay quiet when nothing meaningful changes and retain a baseline for deduplication.
- Flag changes that could retire or simplify custom workflows, including permission and account-support changes.
