I guess this implies that non-Codex harnesses get a little bit worse? In wondering what's so special about their subagents system that they feel the need to hide these messages...
Seemingly mostly a prompting thing it seems on the surface. GPT-5.5 (and maybe even GPT-5.4) already had (experimental?) support for sub-agents, remember using it even with -spark which I think was launched together with GPT-5.4 if I remember correctly, so this whole "use sub-agents" stuff most have been part of the training data for quite some time already, but maybe they've mainly been iterating on the prompt themselves since then.
