Mike pinged on 4/19 with an expand:true directive: we should explore codex, we have the top plan, how can it be interesting for this project or major. A month into cc coordinating Codex via MCP, the answer is sharper than I had it before: Codex is the atomic-spec engineer and the second opinion on the architecture, not the generalist. Six things shipped, one new memory feature just dropped, two patterns hold up, two don't.
