Shorter, more natural. Users think in terms of "codex mode" not
"delegate to codex." The mode: prefix is generic enough for future
delegates. Deactivation becomes mode:local.
Fuzzy activation phrases unchanged (use codex, codex mode, etc.).
Updated across: SKILL.md, contract tests, requirements, and plan docs.

Renames for consistency across all delegation settings:
- work_codex_consent -> work_delegate_consent
- work_codex_sandbox -> work_delegate_sandbox
- work_delegation_decision -> work_delegate_decision
All four settings now share the work_delegate_* prefix:
work_delegate, work_delegate_consent,
work_delegate_sandbox, work_delegate_decision
Updated across: SKILL.md, delegation workflow reference, example
local.md, best practices doc, requirements, plan, and contract tests.

Adds actual token counts from all iterations (not just percentages),
wall clock time comparison, test coverage cost, and the iteration
evolution table showing the body-size regression and recovery. The
economics section now tells the complete story with raw numbers.

The doc covers economics, architecture, prompt engineering, plan quality,
safety model, and user choice — not just economics.

Expands the "delegate verify to Codex" pattern with the reasoning:
trust the delegate's self-report, protect against systematic failure
with the circuit breaker (3 consecutive failures -> standard mode),
and verify the whole at Phase 3 before shipping. Three layered catches
replace the redundant per-batch orchestrator verification.

Documents how plan structure directly enables delegation decisions —
file lists enable batching rules, test scenarios feed Codex prompts,
verification commands enable Codex's self-check loop. Delegation works
with unstructured plans but makes conservative choices without signals.

Compounded learning from 6 iterations of delegation evals covering
token crossover points, batching strategy, prompt engineering, skill
body size as multiplicative cost driver, and user choice considerations.
Key findings: delegation breaks even at ~5-7 units and becomes cheaper
at 10+. Skill body size dominates cost (multiplicative across all tool
calls). Extract conditional content >50 lines to reference files.
Also fixes verify section line break in contract test assertion.

Restore stable ce:work as the non-delegating execution path during the
Codex beta rollout and move the active delegation contract back to
ce:work-beta.
Also add a promotion checklist doc covering the workflow and contract
changes required when ce:work-beta is later promoted to stable.
Beta skills now use disable-model-invocation: true to prevent accidental
auto-triggering. Descriptions written as future stable descriptions with
[BETA] prefix for clean promotion. Updated solutions doc and AGENTS.md
promotion checklist to include removing the field.
