Code in the Codex product codebase describes an agent running across sessions until explicitly stopped, proactively creating follow-up tasks and using prior interactions to pick what to do next, appearing in the reasoning-effort menu as one of the most computationally intensive settings (Gizmodo). Nothing announced, so this is a code-leak signal, not a product. An agent that generates its own queue is a direction to plan around, and also exactly the deployment shape the loop-monitoring separation result says trajectory-scoped safety checks can't cover.
