       Hi HN, I built this side project earlier this week. It executes an
       English auction on Solana with a reserve price of 0.1 SOL. Auction
       winner gets control of a Codex editor. Auction losers get refunded
       (minus a <$0.01 processing fee). The Codex agent operates in a
       sandbox and can only output HTML/JS/CSS.  The project is open-
