Adds a short Official Codex references section to docs/backends/codex.md — links to the upstream OpenAI Codex docs for the controls this backend maps (model, reasoning effort, service tier / Fast mode).

Why this, and not a standalone options doc

A scratch codex-openai-options-summary.md was used as the source material while building the --speed / Fast-mode feature. Committing it standalone would duplicate what codex.md already documents (in Impasse's own hermetic terms), and it describes Codex features Impasse deliberately doesn't use — interactive slash commands and ~/.codex/config.toml persistence — which would misrepresent how a run actually behaves (codex exec --ignore-user-config).

So the durable, non-duplicative value — the curated links to the canonical upstream docs — goes into codex.md, where a contributor already looks, with an explicit note that the interactive/config.toml material doesn't apply to Impasse. Codex is fast-moving, so pointing at the live source ages better than a local copy. The standalone summary (never committed) is dropped.

Docs-only.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Point at the upstream OpenAI Codex docs as the source of truth for the
controls this backend maps (model, reasoning effort, service tier / Fast
mode) — Codex is fast-moving, so links to the canonical pages age better
than a local snapshot. Notes explicitly that Impasse runs non-interactive
and hermetic (codex exec --ignore-user-config), so the interactive slash
commands and config.toml persistence those pages also describe don't apply
to a run.

Consolidates the useful part of a scratch options summary into the doc a
contributor actually reads; the standalone summary (never committed) is
dropped.
