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...
