Charlie Marsh says Codex built a Rust lint that deleted thousands of lines

Charlie Marsh says he used Codex to build hawk, a workspace-aware Cargo lint that finds unnecessary Rust visibility and dead code.
- The tool analyzes an entire Cargo workspace, starting from production targets.
- It reports unused public items, items that can be made pub(crate), and visibility that can be narrowed.
- Marsh says it has already deleted thousands of lines from both uv and Codex itself.
