Auto-review of agent actions without synchronous human oversight

Summary

OpenAI introduced Auto-review in Codex, a mode that replaces user approval at the sandbox boundary with review by a separate agent. In an illustrative internal deployment snapshot, Codex sessions stopped for human approval roughly 200x less often than in manual approval mode, and Auto-review approved around 99% of the actions that needed review.
