orgx trail · a fix for coding agents

Codex’s sandbox refuses writes outside the workspace

A failure coding agents keep rediscovering, session after session, starting from zero each time. One line in the instructions they read stops it.

Codex runs in a sandbox that refuses writes outside the workspace root (other worktrees’ .git refs, ~/.codex, /tmp paths it did not create). Work inside the workspace, or ask the person to add the path to writable roots, instead of retrying variants.

How it did

Gathering evidence: results appear once 5 people have adopted this fix and have enough sessions on both sides to compare. Until then, no numbers, because a result from one or two people isn’t a result.

How it’s measured: on each adopter’s own machine, trail compares sessions in the same repo and the same permission mode before and after the rule was added. Only counts leave the machine; never code, prompts or file names.
