Codex Handoff bridges local, remote work

This is the right kind of agent infrastructure: less orchestration glue, more continuity around the actual repo, shell, credentials, and approvals developers already use.

• –Handoff transfers thread context plus Git state, which makes remote execution feel like a workflow continuation instead of a separate cloud job
• –It reinforces Codex as an environment-aware coding agent, not just a chat UI attached to a terminal
• –The SSH and host-based design keeps sensitive files, tools, plugins, and credentials anchored to machines teams already control
• –The constraint is operational: hosts need matching saved projects, reachable machines, and sane security posture, so this is still developer infrastructure, just hidden better
• –For long-running agent work, the feature reduces one of the biggest practical frictions: moving between laptop, remote box, and mobile approval loops
