* thesis: position Go Micro as complementary to LangChain, not competing
Add a 'Where we fit' section: 'harness' has two layers — the intra-agent
harness (single-model runtime: prompts, tools, context, sandbox, the Ralph
loop) that LangChain/LangGraph/deepagents/Claude Code own and we do NOT
compete with, and the operational harness (the distributed substrate agents
operate inside: services-as-tools, discovery, durable runs, observability,
interop, the services->agents->workflows lifecycle) which is our focus. They
stack and interoperate via MCP/A2A; we make those agents better neighbours,
not obsolete.
* ci: gate Codex dispatch on CODEX_TRIGGER_TOKEN secret
Codex ignores @codex comments authored by the github-actions bot, so the
hourly dispatch was producing no PRs while still posting to the tracker
issue. Gate the comment step on the presence of CODEX_TRIGGER_TOKEN: the
workflow now no-ops until a PAT for a Codex-followed account is set, then
activates automatically with no further change.

Add internal/docs/THESIS.md — the vision the autonomous loop steers by: a
holistic agent harness AND service framework encapsulating the lifecycle of
services -> agents -> workflows (workloads come after agents; the value is in
composing it into systems that do real work, on schedules and in loops).
Wire it in as the alignment criterion: the continuous-improvement charter and
the Codex dispatch prompt now require every increment to advance the North Star,
so improvements compound toward the thesis instead of drifting locally.

- continuous-improvement: cadence 12h -> hourly.
- add auto-merge-codex workflow: every 15 min, merge open PRs that are
codex-labelled AND from a codex/* branch once all checks are green
(gh pr checks). CI (build/test/lint/harnesses) is the only gate — no
human involvement. Scoped tightly so nothing else auto-merges.

A Claude Max subscription exposes no API key for CI, and Atlas Cloud models
can't run a coding agent — so the durable scheduler triggers Codex instead:
on a cadence it posts an @codex instruction on the tracker issue (#3024) to
run one improvement increment. Prefers a CODEX_TRIGGER_TOKEN PAT if set
(in case Codex ignores the Actions bot), else the default token.

Define the autonomous improvement loop (internal/docs/CONTINUOUS_IMPROVEMENT.md):
full autonomy with correctness (build/test/lint) as the only gate, work sourced
from roadmap + issues + an improvement radar + dogfooding, Claude Code driving
and Codex executing scoped tasks, with brand/positioning and breaking API kept
with the human.
Add a durable scheduled GitHub Action (.github/workflows/continuous-improvement.yml)
as the session-independent backbone — a safe no-op until an ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
secret is added.
