What Codex does

Codex is OpenAI's coding agent for understanding repositories, implementing and testing features, fixing bugs, and reviewing changes across app, editor, and terminal surfaces.

For controlled production work, its agentic capability should sit behind explicit scope, project instructions, test-first changes, reviewable commits, and a fresh release gate.
