Codex promotes automatic daemon startup to stable and turns it on for interactive launches
PR #47179, merged 2026-09-22 minutes after the fullscreen default, promotes daemon_auto_start out of /experimental and enables it by default for eligible interactive launches. Tests for daemon startup, --no-daemon and startup failure were rewritten to exercise the default without explicitly enabling the feature. A background daemon now starts on ordinary `codex` invocations unless you pass --no-daemon, which matters for anyone running Codex inside CI containers or sandboxes that account for stray processes.
