The problem with codex right now is it doesn't have hook support. It's hard to understate how big of a deal hooks are, the Ralph loop that the newer folks are losing their shit over is like the level 0, most rudimentary use of hooks.

I have a tool that reduces agent token consumption by 30%, and it's only viable because I can hook the harness and catch agents being stupid, then prompt them to be smarter on the fly. More at https://sibylline.dev/articles/2026-01-22-scribe-swebench-be...
