## Codex Usage

- **Codex is for advice and critical assessment ONLY — never for making code changes**
- Ask Codex to: analyze, diagnose, review, estimate, suggest approaches
- Do NOT ask Codex to: implement, write, modify, add code to files
- Implement changes yourself after understanding Codex's advice
- **Proactive consultation**: Before diving deep into a complex optimization (>30min estimated), consult Codex for critical analysis first — this catches fundamental design flaws early
- **Bounce ideas**: Use Codex as a sounding board when stuck — describe the problem, what you've tried, and ask for honest assessment of whether the approach is worth continuing

## Quality Standards

- Code MUST pass all existing lints and type checks
