As long as it is only a small percentage of the pile. Cedar has a certain rot resistance and can have some entertaining chemicals in it. Up to you if you want it in your pile.
Personally I’d use that as a path mulch as it will keep weeds down then harvest the result after a year or two as it should make a braw compost for tree saplings.

Sure. If I am wrong, someone let me know.

Yes 👍is good. People Will say different because of the oils but it’s a good brown. It’s kind of a myth about the oils while they do exist, nature has no problem breaking it down. If your pile is 100% cedar it will take longer to break down but it will break down nonetheless. It can help bring up pile temps too
