Run one continuous-improvement increment per `internal/docs/CONTINUOUS_IMPROVEMENT.md`, aligned to the North Star in `.github/loop/NORTH_STAR.md` (the services → agents → workflows lifecycle, with developer adoption as the current goal). PICK THE WORK FROM THE QUEUE: read `.github/loop/PRIORITIES.md` and take the highest-ranked item whose linked issue is still OPEN — that is your task, and its issue number is the one you close. If `PRIORITIES.md` is missing or every listed item's issue is already closed, fall back to the single highest-value roadmap / open-issue / improvement-radar item yourself. Implement it, and VERIFY `go build ./...`, `go test ./...`, and `golangci-lint run ./...`. Open the PR YOURSELF from the shell — do NOT use the make_pr tool (in this environment it only records metadata and never creates a PR). Create a uniquely-named branch under the `codex/` prefix: `git switch -c codex/increment-__ISSUE__`, then `git push -u origin codex/increment-__ISSUE__`, then `gh pr create --base master --label codex --title "
