LazyCodex subagent routing and configuration enforcement within the Codex agent harness. The core issue is the inability to guarantee that specific TOML-backed subagent configurations are actually used when `spawn_agent` is called, leading to generic subagent behavior instead of configured behavior.

Ensuring reliable and verifiable execution of configured agent policies and subagent roles. The goal is to provide a robust agent orchestration layer where user-defined configurations are respected and enforced, preventing 'trust-boundary problems' where perceived policy application differs from actual execution.

This issue exposes a critical control plane deficiency within LazyCodex's subagent orchestration. Users configure specific agent behaviors via TOML, expecting these policies to govern spawned subagents like `plan` or `reviewer`. However, the native `spawn_agent` interface lacks mechanisms to enfo...

Interoperability and configuration management between LazyCodex (an internal Codex plugin) and Oh-My-Codex (OMX, an external orchestrator). The core problem is conflicting writes to shared configuration files (`config.toml`, `hooks.json`) and potential clashes in lifecycle event handlers.

Achieving seamless integration and co-existence within the Codex ecosystem, specifically for advanced users leveraging multiple complementary tools. The goal is to ensure that different layers of agent orchestration and enhancement can operate without mutual interference, maintaining configuration integrity and predictable event handling.

This issue highlights critical integration friction between LazyCodex and OMX, two distinct but complementary components within the Codex ecosystem. Despite operating at different architectural layers—plugin versus external orchestrator—they exhibit direct conflicts over shared configuration file...

LazyCodex subagent orchestration's failure to enforce dependency completion and result integration. Specifically, the root agent prematurely marks dependent work complete without properly waiting for or processing the output of spawned planning, review, or audit subagents.

Ensuring robust, reliable, and verifiable multi-agent workflow execution. The goal is to establish a dependable orchestration layer where dependencies are correctly managed, subagent outputs are integrated, and task completion accurately reflects the successful resolution of all sub-tasks, aligning with documented `wait_agent` and follow-up protocols.

This issue reveals a critical flaw in LazyCodex's subagent orchestration, where root agents prematurely declare dependent work complete without proper integration or validation of spawned subagent outputs. Despite documented protocols for `wait_agent` polling and follow-up, the system fails to en...
