How long before oxidation becomes a concern? I oxygenated my wort yesterday and immediately pitched fresh yeast, but fermentation is just now starting to ramp up...26 hours later
Oxygenated wort, 26 hour lag

Oxidation is a concern only after fermentation.
The yeast use oxygen during the reproduction phase, and then fermentation itself is done anaerobically. That's when any oxygen introduced won't get used by the yeast, and so after that point it's important to not introduce oxygen to the beer. Since you only pitched a day ago, it's not a concern at all even if you have the lid off of the fermenter.
