Good morning. Google Cloud says its Auth Manager, which automates OAuth sign-in and token refresh for AI agents, became generally available on 5 November 2026. Here is what that covers, and two more stories worth your time.

Google Cloud's Auth Manager for AI agents is now generally available

  • Google Cloud says Auth Manager became generally available on 5 November 2026; it automates OAuth 2.0 and PKCE flows and refreshes user-delegated tokens for AI agents.
  • Google says Agent Identity JWT support, in preview, issues OIDC tokens so agents can authenticate across AWS, Azure, on-premises backends and MCP servers without static, long-lived API keys.
  • Also in preview: Workload Identity Federation for GKE in VPC Service Controls, Cloud Armor exploit-protection rules, a Model Armor custom topic detector and sandboxed CodeMender verification.

Google Cloud made Auth Manager generally available on 5 November 2026. It automates OAuth 2.0 and PKCE flows and refreshes user-delegated tokens for AI agents, which Google says reduces consent fatigue and the theft of credentials.

The release comes in a Google Cloud security blog post of the same date. Alongside Auth Manager, Agent Identity JWT support is in preview. Google says it issues standard OIDC tokens so agents can authenticate across AWS, Azure, on-premises backends and MCP servers without static, long-lived API keys.

Two network controls are generally available: IAM roles in VPC Service Controls ingress and egress rules, and the Cloud NGFW advanced malware sandbox, which Google says is enabled by Palo Alto Networks WildFire. In preview are Workload Identity Federation for GKE in VPC Service Controls, Cloud Armor managed rules for exploit protection, and a Model Armor custom topic detector that lets teams enforce topic adherence for agents.

Google also lists new CodeMender capabilities in preview. CodeMender can now run vulnerability verification and exploit simulation inside an operating-system-level sandbox or an isolated virtual machine, and can scan a folder, a whole repository or only files changed since the last scan.

What it means for you Our view

If you build or buy agents that act on a user's behalf in Google Cloud, Auth Manager is the part of this release Google says is generally available, and it handles the sign-in and token refresh work that Google says otherwise causes consent fatigue and credential theft. The Agent Identity JWT support, Model Armor detector and CodeMender sandboxing are previews, so they are worth testing but not yet worth building production on. Check which of your agents authenticate with static, long-lived API keys today, and list which of those flows the preview JWT support would replace.

Claude Code Projects is in beta on Pro, Max and Ultra plans only

  • Anthropic's Claude Code documentation says Projects is in public beta on Pro, Max and Ultra plans and rolling out gradually; Team and Enterprise plans do not have it yet.
  • A project is one long-running session in which Claude acts as coordinator and decides what becomes a thread; each thread is a separate session with its own context window.
  • A cloud thread works on its own branch and opens a pull request when the work calls for one, and keeps going after you close your laptop.

Anthropic's Claude Code documentation says Projects is in public beta on the Pro, Max and Ultra plans and is rolling out gradually; Team and Enterprise plans do not have it yet.

A project is one long-running conversation in which Claude acts as coordinator. It decides what becomes a thread and tracks each one, while each thread is a separate session with its own context window. A cloud thread works on its own branch and opens a pull request when the work calls for one.

Anthropic says cloud threads keep going after a laptop is closed, and that a task needing something only the user's computer has can be run as a thread on that computer through Remote Control. The documentation says a project draws on the same plan limits as other Claude Code sessions and uses them faster.

What it means for you Our view

If you are on a Pro, Max or Ultra plan, Projects is a way to give Claude Code a larger piece of work and let it split that work into threads, each on its own branch. Anthropic's documentation says a project draws on the same plan limits as other Claude Code sessions and uses them faster, so a big job will take more of your allowance. Team and Enterprise plans do not have it yet, and the rollout is gradual, so not every eligible account will see it today. Try it on one contained task, and compare how much of your plan limit it uses against a normal session on similar work.

Nvidia's board opens an investigation after reports a foreign intelligence effort targeted Huang

  • Nvidia's board statement of 8 November 2026 says a committee of independent directors, assisted by outside independent counsel, will oversee the investigation.
  • The board says it has no reason to believe that national security or Nvidia secrets were compromised, and that its inquiry will examine all available information.
  • The statement names no country, does not describe the reporting and gives no timetable; the board says it will provide further updates as appropriate.

Nvidia's board has started an independent investigation after reporting that chief executive Jensen Huang was the target of a foreign intelligence effort, the board said in a statement published on 8 November 2026.

A committee of independent directors, assisted by outside independent counsel, will oversee the investigation. The board says it has no reason to believe that national security or Nvidia secrets were compromised, but that its inquiry will examine all available information.

The board says Huang supports the review and has committed to cooperating, that it has confidence in him and his leadership team, and that it will provide further updates as appropriate. Huang said the same in an email to employees that Nvidia published on its newsroom the same day: he supports the investigation and will cooperate fully.

The board's statement does not name a country, describe the reporting it refers to or give a timetable for the investigation.

What it means for you Our view

For customers and partners this is, so far, a governance matter at one supplier. The board has said it has no reason to believe national security or Nvidia secrets were compromised, and it has also named no country, described no reporting and set no timetable, so the facts are not yet established and a statement of confidence is not a finding. Nothing in the statement changes a purchase, a contract or a supply plan. Jensen Huang supports the review and the board has promised updates as appropriate, so watch Nvidia's newsroom for the next one and read it for scope and timing before drawing conclusions.
