Formally:

With Codex:
 
      ```bash
      # unstaged diff
-     coderabbit review --plain --type uncommitted

      # committed changes versus origin/main
-     coderabbit review --plain --type committed --base-commit origin/main

-     Address minor suggestions immediately; if coderabbit flags major rework, spin up another worker with a follow-up task entry.

    - Re-run the required `task` commands locally. Do not merge until the branch is fully green (at minimum: `task go:test`).
