Guidance for Codex in this repository. (Codex loads this file automatically.)
Read AGENT.md first — it is the canonical entry point and document router. This file only points there and holds the maintenance ritual; it deliberately does not restate scope, constraints, or status, so it cannot drift from the source docs.
- Facts / sources:
.agent/evidence-register.mdis the single source of truth. No invented or unsourced stats. - Rationale / ruled-out ideas:
.agent/context-dump.md(Decisions Index §16, rejected/Set-Aside §17). Don't re-propose ruled-out ideas. - Behavior & safety:
.agent/product-requirements.md. Triage, not diagnosis — investigational research prototype.
- Decision made/changed → update
.agent/context-dump.md(Decisions Index §16, or Set-Aside §17) and append a dated line to.agent/log.md. - New/changed fact → update
.agent/evidence-register.md. - Scope changed → update the scope tags in
.agent/product-requirements.md. - Edited any
.agent/doc → bump its Updated date.
