Codex adds native thread spawning

OpenAI says Codex can now spawn new threads from inside the app. The update is aimed at making parallel work and follow-ups easier inside a single workspace.

// ANALYSIS

This is a meaningful workflow update because it makes thread management itself part of the Codex workflow.

–Spawning new threads from inside Codex reduces friction for parallel work and task branching.
–The update is most useful for power users managing related tasks and longer-running work.
