Codex ↔ ZCode Remote Relay

A local Codex-to-ZCode relay experiment for bounded worker tasks, status collection, and review before integration.

Sources reviewed: 2026-09-12

01 / CONTEXT

The problem

Delegating to another desktop agent requires a clear work order, ownership boundaries, and a way to collect and assess the result.

02 / OWNERSHIP

My contribution

  • Led the delegation requirements and review boundaries.
  • Used AI-assisted relay implementation and checked the handoff and collection behavior.
Working approach: product-led, AI-assisted implementation, followed by review and iteration.
03 / ENGINEERING JUDGMENT

Decisions & tradeoffs

01

Separate worker completion from acceptance

The choice
Collect the worker’s result and keep final review with the coordinating agent.
The tradeoff
The local bridge adds operational steps and depends on ZCode’s remote-control behavior.
How it is checked
The repository documents task ledgers, result states, and adapter tests.

What the work shows

The project records an explicit delegation workflow and provides a focused comparison with the later, more general CLI dispatcher.

FROM CLAIM TO SOURCE

What this does not establish

  • The adapter uses an undocumented local remote-control channel and may break with desktop changes.
  • This is a local experiment, not an official ZCode integration or a production service with measured cost savings.
