Research direction

Start at the /codex command entry point and trace how its arguments are parsed and forwarded to Codex. Add support for the proposed --context text argument, verify the example invocation preserves the string, and run the command's existing tests or checks; done means context reaches delegated tasks without changing behavior when omitted.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Type: Enhancement Request

Current behavior:
The /codex command delegates tasks to Codex with no way to pass additional context.

Proposed solution:
Add a --context flag that accepts a text string, so users can pass minimal context when invoking the command.

Example usage:

/codex:rescue --context "working on auth module"

Why this matters:
Even a small amount of context can significantly improve the quality and relevance of Codex's output on delegated tasks.
