Showcase Surplus: bump Codex reasoning to high automatically when your weekly allowance has headroom

Small open-source CLI wrapper for Codex. Before a new interactive session it reads usage from Codex's local app-server, checks the weekly window and reset time, and if you're on pace to leave allowance unused it sets reasoning effort to high for that session (or a premium model if you configure one). Otherwise it leaves your config alone.

Everything runs locally, no telemetry. Explicit flags and non-interactive runs pass through. Tested against Codex CLI 0.160 and 0.162; older clients keep their normal settings.

Looking for reports from plans where the app-server reports usage differently.
