Summary
The Qwen Code nightly release adds a peer endpoint that lets external programs join cross-session messaging and lets goals stop at a turn or active-time budget. It also adds a Codex executor, native agent built-ins, CodeModeOnly tool execution and recovery improvements.
Why it matters
Qwen Code is moving from a single-session assistant towards a coordinated agent runtime with explicit lifecycle, budget and tool-authority controls.
