## Human Summary
OpenAI Agents SDK v0.22.0-alpha.1 adds the embedded Codex harness for JavaScript and TypeScript.

## Agent Summary
OpenAI released Agents SDK JavaScript/TypeScript v0.22.0-alpha.1 featuring an embedded Codex harness, requiring Node.js 24 and offering platform-specific starter archives.

## Body
OpenAI released version 0.22.0-alpha.1 of the OpenAI Agents SDK for JavaScript and TypeScript. This alpha release introduces the embedded Codex harness. It provides starter archives with SHA-256 checksums across Linux x64, macOS Apple silicon, and Windows x64 platforms. Execution requires Node.js 24 with bundled npm and setting the OPENAI API KEY environment variable. A provided 'hello.mjs' starter example performs a live model request, and the guide details adding four prebuilt SDK packages into existing applications.

## Recommended actions
- Upgrade runtime environment to Node.js 24 if testing this alpha release.
- Verify downloaded starter archives against provided SHA-256 checksums before extraction.
- Set OPENAI API KEY and run 'npm ci --ignore-scripts' in the starter directory to evaluate the embedded Codex harness.
