This tutorial demonstrates server-side prompt versioning and rollback for Managed Agents, enabling PMs to update agent prompts without code deployments. It covers creating an agent (v1), evaluating it against a labeled test set, shipping an updated prompt (v2), detecting performance regressions, and rolling back by pinning sessions to a specific version. The workflow replaces traditional code-based prompt management with immutable versioned prompts that can be quickly reverted if issues arise.

This tutorial demonstrates building a webhook-triggered SRE incident response agent using Claude Managed Agents that automatically investigates production alerts, consults runbooks, proposes infrastructure fixes via pull requests, and gates merging behind human approval. The agent combines built-in sandbox tools (bash, read, edit) with custom tools for PR management and human-in-the-loop approval, providing complete audit trails in the Anthropic Console. The example uses mocked PagerDuty, GitHub, and Datadog integrations to focus on agent patterns, with guidance for swapping in real services.

This tutorial introduces the Claude Managed Agents API by walking through a practical debugging workflow where an agent iteratively fixes failing tests in a Python package. It covers the three core resources (Agent, Environment, Session), file mounting, and the streaming event loop pattern. The example demonstrates how agents autonomously discover the iterate-observe-fix loop by running tests, reading failures, editing code, and repeating until all assertions pass.

Claude Code v2.1.97 introduces a focus view toggle for better prompt visibility, enhanced status line customization with git worktree support, improved permissions handling with stricter Bash tool checks, and numerous bug fixes across MCP connections, resume functionality, NO_FLICKER mode rendering, and authentication. The release also improves auto-approval logic for safe commands, image compression consistency, and CJK text input handling.

OpenClaw v2026.4.8 is a maintenance release focusing on fixing import path issues in bundled channels and plugins, improving agent execution reporting, and enhancing proxy support.

The release also optimizes memory serialization by excluding embedding vectors and addresses critical CVE-2026-35030 via litellm upgrade.

The Claude Agent SDK provides built-in session management functions to build conversation history sidebars without writing custom parsers. This cookbook demonstrates how to list, read, rename, tag, and fork sessions stored as JSONL transcripts on disk. By leveraging SDK primitives like list_sessions(), get_session_messages(), and rename_session(), developers can implement session browsers for desktop apps, IDE extensions, and chatbots without managing file I/O directly.

crewAI 1.14.0a4 introduces checkpoint storage capabilities with SqliteProvider and CheckpointConfig, implements runtime state checkpointing with an event system, and refactors the executor.
