2026-10-13-codex-cutoff-main-changes-the-guardian-v2-classifier-fallback-to-conversation

Cutoff main changes the Guardian V2 classifier fallback to conversation. Guardian V2 selects conversation classification when neither local async_classifier_mode nor the model default supplies a mode. Explicit snapshot remains available. This is in cutoff main, absent from alpha.10 and stable 0.162.1; V2 itself remains off.

Channel: main-unreleased. Half: capability. Date: 2026-10-13 (commit at 18:08:10Z; no published in-window tag).

Operator consequence: Keep this out of stable and in-window preview recommendations. V2 experiment owners should inspect the next containing release and test fallback and explicit modes. Post-window alpha.11 availability does not change this window.
