Forengineer comfortable with sandboxed autonomous Codex runs

What

Three modes in increasing trust order. Option 1 (recommended): codex --dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox. Option 2 "full-auto": codex exec --full-auto "<task>". Option 3 "YOLO": codex exec --sandbox danger-full-access "<task>". One operator reported running this mode continuously for "several days, PR after PR, almost never stops." Pair with devcontainer isolation and an independent test/rollback pipeline before enabling.
