You can use Codex CLI for autonomous agent tasks by running it as an isolated implementation lane within a Hermes Kanban worker. Hermes maintains ownership of the task lifecycle, while Codex provides bounded implementation help for coding, refactoring, and testing.

To isolate Codex CLI commits during automated code migrations, you should use an isolated git worktree. This ensures Codex operates only as an input lane, creating and managing small commits without affecting the main repository until final acceptance by Hermes.

Yes, you need Codex authentication to use a Hermes Kanban worker for autonomous coding. The integration requires proper Codex authentication to allow the isolated implementation lane to execute bounded coding, refactoring, and documentation tasks effectively.

Yes, Hermes Kanban manages the task lifecycle when integrated with Codex CLI. Under the dual-lane convention, Codex acts only as an input lane for implementation, while Hermes owns lifecycle, reconciliation, testing, and final handoff.

You should not use Codex CLI as an implementation lane for Kanban tasks lacking clear acceptance criteria. The integration is designed for bounded implementation help, relying on Hermes to manage lifecycle and reconciliation for tasks like mechanical migration and refactoring.

Hermes performs final acceptance instead of Codex to maintain strict lifecycle ownership. Codex is strictly an input lane for bounded implementation help, so Hermes must handle reconciliation, testing, and handoff to ensure autonomous agent commits meet project standards.
