Why multi-codex?

A coordinating Codex or Claude Code session can hand off a focused task, keep working, and collect an answer later. Each worker is an independent `codex exec` process, outside the coordinator's native subagent pool. Workers start fresh and exit when finished.

The helper stays small enough to inspect in one sitting. There is no scheduler, service, database, or framework to operate. Account usage and rate limits still apply.

Small by design	What you get
Fire and forget	`spawn` returns a worker ID immediately; the worker survives the launching shell closing.
Track completion	`spawn --wait` stays alive for one run so a harness can manage it as a background command.
Explicit context	Pass the task and everything the worker needs
