Codex adds persistent Goals mode

ANNOUNCEMENT PRODUCT GITHUB PRODUCT HUNT X

Codex now appears to support an experimental Goals mode, letting users set a `/goal` that persists across turns and conversations. The update makes the agent feel more stateful and better suited to long-running work than a one-off chat session.

// ANALYSIS

This is a meaningful shift for agentic coding, because the hard part is not generating code once, it's maintaining intent across interruptions.

–Persistent goals reduce prompt drift and make Codex easier to use on multi-step work that spans sessions
–An explicit `/goal` gives the model a clearer success condition than vague follow-up prompts
–The experimental `/experimental` gate suggests this is still early and may change shape before it stabilizes
–If it rolls out broadly, it pushes Codex closer to an always-on coding assistant rather than a disposable task runner

It also renames trailer files to match Plex conventions and can trigger library rescans after updates, making it a practical background companion for Radarr/Sonarr-style workflows.

Prismarr turns self-hosted Arr stack into one dashboard

Prismarr is an open-source self-hosted media dashboard that sits on top of Radarr, Sonarr, Prowlarr, qBittorrent, and TMDb to unify search, calendars, downloads, and requests in a single Symfony interface. It is packaged as one Docker container with embedded SQLite and a setup wizard, so the pitch is less “replace your media apps” and more “give the whole stack one control plane.”
