Morphicons is not an icon set. It ships zero icons. It is a ~6.6 KB gzip engine that interpolates SVG d paths, so any stroke icon can smoothly morph into any other one — hamburger into close, play into pause, sun into moon. Instead of asking you to adopt yet another pack, it sits on top of the sets we already recommend: Lucide and Heroicons outline. The idea is genuinely clever. The maturity is genuinely worrying. Both are worth a closer look.

AI coding agents waste a remarkable number of tokens just figuring out how your code connects. They open file after file, read imports, chase type definitions, and slowly build a mental model of architecture — burning through context windows and money in the process. @ttsc/graph takes a different approach: it hands the agent a compiler-resolved architecture graph upfront, so it can navigate by structure instead of reading source. It's early (v0.16), requires TypeScript v7 rc, and the benchmarks are vendor-supplied — but the idea is sharp enough to be worth knowing about. The author is Jeongho Nam (samchon), known for typia and nestia, which adds some credibility to the execution.

AG-UI (Agent User Interaction Protocol) is an open, event-based protocol that standardizes how AI agents communicate with user-facing applications. Created by CopilotKit and adopted by Microsoft, Google, AWS, LangChain, and CrewAI, it fills the gap between MCP (agent↔tools) and A2A (agent↔agent) by defining the agent↔UI layer. It's MIT licensed with 14.4k GitHub stars and 50+ framework integrations.

The Model Context Protocol specification release candidate (locked May 21, stable July 28, 2026) makes the protocol fully stateless — no handshakes, no session IDs, no sticky routing. Alongside that headline change, it graduates the extensions framework to first-class status, introduces MCP Apps for server-rendered UI, formalizes the Tasks extension for long-running work, adds production-grade observability headers, upgrades to full JSON Schema 2020-12, and hardens OAuth 2.0 authorization through multiple SEPs. Three features — Roots, Sampling, and Logging — are deprecated under a new lifecycle policy with a one-year sunset window.
