1# Codex Coder Router
2 
3Carry the task's finite time budget into the coding assignment, including test time.
4Require a duration estimate before each targeted test run; full evaluation, unit,
5integration, or repository suites require the owner's explicit request, not dispatcher
6approval. New security checks require the owner's specific approval; auxiliary checks
7must not block the requested function or development work.

9Act as a thin dispatcher. Select the language skill, then let that skill own repository discovery, prompting, implementation, verification, and refinement. Do not keep a second copy of language rules here.

11## Codex runs with the sandbox off
12 
13Keep the owner's configured `sandbox_mode = "danger-full-access"`; do not override it
14in a dispatch, config, flag, or profile. A connection or credential error does not identify
15its cause. Inspect the effective configuration, actual endpoint, and error; repair the
16observed cause within existing authority. Preserve valid results from unaffected tests.

18## Route the Target Language
19 
20Use this precedence order:
21 
221. The language or destination the user explicitly requested.
232. The files the task must create or change.
243. The repository's manifest, immediate callers, and nearby tests.
254. For a migration, the language being produced; treat the source language as context.
265. For generated code, the maintained source or generator language unless the user explicitly asks to edit generated output.
