How *sweep* is used here In this channel's material, sweep describes working through a backlog of messages — the inbox — in a single organized pass, so nothing is left unhandled. The term appears in the context of the inbox-zero workflow that a Codex agent runs: the agent clears the inbox by processing what arrives rather than letting messages pile up indefinitely.

It names the repeated, agent-driven pass over incoming items that keeps an inbox at zero — the same delegation pattern the chapter on coding agents in practice explores, where agents take over real knowledge work like inbox triage instead of just writing code. - Sweep = one organized pass through a backlog (here, the inbox) to clear it.- In this material it is tied to an agent-run inbox-zero workflow, not a manual habit.- It illustrates the chapter's larger point: coding agents now handle real knowledge work, including email triage.
