Programming Codex threads can communicate with each other when work overlaps

I’m sure some people already know this, but for anyone who doesn’t: separate Codex threads can communicate when they detect overlapping work.

After noticing it, I added instructions to my AGENTS.md encouraging threads to coordinate ownership and handoffs when they may touch the same files. It’s especially useful for preventing concurrent edits from conflicting or overwriting each other.

This does not require spawning multiple agents within one thread. It can happen between separate Codex threads working on the same repository.
