Month 2025-11: Focused on performance optimization in the unified execution path of openai/codex. Delivered Unified Exec Early Exit Optimization, threading an exit_notify and exit_signaled flag through the UnifiedExecSession to allow immediate termination if a process finishes before yield_time_ms. This change reduces unnecessary waits for short-lived commands, improving throughput, responsiveness, and resource utilization. The work is documented by commit b5dd1890671d58dd92c29dc4ffa6432ecb48d54c with message 'Allow unified_exec to early exit (if the process terminates before yield_time_ms) (#6867)'.
