Feature Request: Add a Simple “Feature Workflow” to Codex CLI

Summary

Introduce a small set of commands that handle the most common Git workflow around AI-assisted edits:
start a feature → work → open PR → finish/merge — without leaving the CLI.

---

Why

Codex CLI already handles local edits well, but users still have to drop down into git or provider CLIs to:

• create a feature branch,
• push it
• open a PR
• merge it safely once CI passes

That glue work is repetitive and inconsistent. A built-in workflow would streamline this and enforce best practices.

---

Proposed UX

• codex feature start <name>
• Creates and checks out feature/<slug> from the base branch.
• Prompts interactively for base branch, issue key, or other metadata if not provided.

• codex feature pr
• Pushes the branch and opens a PR.
• Prompts for title, reviewers, labels if not passed as flags.

• codex feature finish
• Safely merges into base only if CI checks and approvals are green.
• Offers option to delete the branch.
• Prompts for merge method (squash|merge|rebase) if not configured.

• codex feature status
• Shows branch info, linked PR, and CI state.
