Open the Codex app, queue 4-5 independent maintenance tasks across your codebase before you do anything else. Fix TypeScript errors, update webhook handlers, add error boundaries, migrate legacy middleware — each as a separate task running in parallel. By the time you have had coffee and checked Slack, 2-3 completed PRs are waiting for your review. This is the actual morning routine of developers using Codex in production at scale.
2-3 hours of sequential maintenance work per day

Before merging any completed PR, run your full test suite on that branch in isolation. Do not stack multiple agent PRs without testing each independently first.
Tasks must be genuinely independent — if two tasks touch the same file they will produce merge conflicts when run in parallel. Never queue tasks that touch authentication, billing, or database migrations as parallel agents. Review task scope carefully before queuing.
