A mixed bag after yesterday's AI cluster. Three AI releases today—LlamaIndex dependency bumps, a llama.cpp WebGPU CI fix for NVIDIA, and OpenAI's mobile Codex announcement—but none carrying operator weight. Signal Desktop adds phishing guardrails in a beta. Sparrow Frigate ships ZMQ-driven mempool ingestion for low-latency block handling. Ledger Live Desktop pushed a minor bump with scant detail. Coin Center published a policy letter on the BRCA amendment. No protocol work. No Lightning. No Nostr.

ZMQ sequence support means operators running Sparrow Frigate alongside Core can now get immediate mempool updates on connect, disconnect, and removal events. Worth the upgrade if low-latency block ingestion matters to the workflow.
