DictatorFlow Can Delegate Coding Work to Codex

DictatorFlow can now use chat as a front door for coding agents. With the Codex tool explicitly enabled, a live chat request can delegate a bounded task to the Codex CLI in the configured workspace and return the result to the conversation.

Why this matters

Voice is a strong input method for intent. Coding agents are strong at repo-level execution. Connecting them means you can describe the change naturally, let an agent do the mechanical work, and keep the full exchange in the same live chat session.

Separate permission switch

Codex delegation is not bundled into basic file tools. It has its own environment switch because launching an agent is a bigger capability than reading a file or replacing a string. The workspace root still controls where the agent runs.

A better developer loop

The natural loop is simple: speak the task, let chat inspect enough context, delegate the heavier implementation when needed, then review the response. This is especially useful for small repo chores, tests, documentation updates, and codebase questions that become edits.

DictatorFlow is not trying to replace professional coding tools. It is making them easier to drive from voice and conversation.
