Collaborative Loop: Sequential Drive / Validate / Act

Overview

Sequential pair-programming loop between Claude and Codex CLI. Claude PRODUCES an analysis with numbered findings, Codex VALIDATES each finding individually (CONFIRM/REJECT), Claude RE-EVALUATES the validation decisions, and only findings where both models agree proceed to implementation. After fixes, Codex reviews the changes and the loop repeats until clean.

Core principle: Claude never acts on its own unvalidated output. Every finding passes through bilateral consensus before implementation.
