Codex Adds Customizable Pet Mode

This post highlights Codex pets and points users to the hatch-pet skill for creating custom pets. It frames Codex as a more personalized workspace with a visible companion that reflects status.

// ANALYSIS

This is more of a delight-first engagement feature than a major capability release, but it still matters because it makes Codex feel more personal and recognizable. The retweet signal is lightweight, and the hatch-pet workflow lowers friction for custom pet creation while reinforcing Codex as a richer companion product.
