chore(codex): bootstrap PR for issue #79

[stranske]

Automated Status Summary

Scope

• Scope section missing from source issue.

Tasks

• Restrict triggers:
• do not run agent workflows on forked PRs
• avoid pull_request_target unless absolutely necessary
• Ensure prompts are repo-owned:
• use prompt-file from .github/codex/prompts/
• build a small “context appendix” file that includes sanitized task text
• Add allowlists:
• allow-users / allow-bots in codex-action config
• only repo collaborators can trigger
• Add denylist behaviors:
• Codex should not edit .github/workflows/** unless a special environment-approved mode is enabled
• Codex should not touch secrets or tokens (explicit instruction + sandbox limits)
• Add logging + red flags:
• if prompt contains “ignore previous”, HTML comments, base64 blobs, etc, stop and require human

Acceptance criteria

• - Malicious-looking issue text does not get passed verbatim into Codex execution.
• - Agent workflows only run for trusted actors and trusted events.

[stranske]

@codex Your objective is to satisfy the Acceptance Criteria by completing each Task within the defined Scope.

This round you MUST:

1. Implement actual code or test changes that advance at least one incomplete task toward acceptance.
2. Commit meaningful source code (.py, .yml, .js, etc.)—not just status/docs updates.
3. Mark a task checkbox complete ONLY after verifying the implementation works.
4. POST A REPLY COMMENT with completed checkboxes using the EXACT TEXT from the lists below.

CRITICAL - Checkbox Format:
When posting your reply, copy the exact checkbox text from the Tasks and Acceptance Criteria sections below. Do NOT paraphrase or summarize. The automation matches text exactly.

Topic GUID: 2d89f8ab-4ea5-58ad-8e85-d5cd72036cf5

Why

Context:

• You’re right: a single approval step helps, but it’s not the whole story.
• PR bodies, issue comments, and commit messages are all attacker-controlled text in many scenarios.
  Goal:
• Ensure Codex is only fed curated prompt content and sanitized task context.

Tasks

• Restrict triggers:
• do not run agent workflows on forked PRs
• avoid pull_request_target unless absolutely necessary
• Ensure prompts are repo-owned:
• use prompt-file from .github/codex/prompts/
• build a small “context appendix” file that includes sanitized task text
• Add allowlists:
• allow-users / allow-bots in codex-action config
• only repo collaborators can trigger
• Add denylist behaviors:
• Codex should not edit .github/workflows/** unless a special environment-approved mode is enabled
• Codex should not touch secrets or tokens (explicit instruction + sandbox limits)
• Add logging + red flags:
• if prompt contains “ignore previous”, HTML comments, base64 blobs, etc, stop and require human

Acceptance criteria

• Malicious-looking issue text does not get passed verbatim into Codex execution.
  • Agent workflows only run for trusted actors and trusted events.

Summary

• Added a sanitized plan-context appendix builder to strip suspicious content and wired keepalive evaluation to skip forked PRs or unsafe context while surfacing sanitized appendix details. .github/scripts/context_appendix.jsL1-L84 .github/scripts/keepalive_loop.jsL54-L335
• Updated the keepalive workflow to pass the sanitized appendix into Codex runs and expanded the reusable Codex runner to enforce repo-owned prompts plus red-flag detection before assembling the prompt file. .github/workflows/agents-keepalive-loop.ymlL20-L120 .github/workflows/reusable-codex-run.ymlL1-L220

@codex Your objective is to satisfy the Acceptance Criteria by completing each Task within the defined Scope.

This round you MUST:

1. Implement actual code or test changes that advance at least one incomplete task toward acceptance.
2. Commit meaningful source code (.py, .yml, .js, etc.)—not just status/docs updates.
3. Mark a task checkbox complete ONLY after verifying the implementation works.
4. POST A REPLY COMMENT with completed checkboxes using the EXACT TEXT from the lists below.

CRITICAL - Checkbox Format:
When posting your reply, copy the exact checkbox text from the Tasks and Acceptance Criteria sections. Do NOT paraphrase or summarize. The automation matches text exactly.

Example reply format:

- [x] Implemented volatility-adjusted trend analysis for Fund A
- [x] Updated config/demo.yml with new parameters
- [ ] Add multi-period analysis for Fund B

Acceptance Criteria:
- [x] Fund A analysis produces correct CAGR and Sharpe ratio
- [ ] Fund B analysis includes multi-period metrics

DO NOT:

• Commit only status files, markdown summaries, or documentation when tasks require code.
• Re-post checklists without making implementation progress.
• Close the round without source-code changes when acceptance criteria require them.
• Paraphrase or shorten checkbox text—copy it exactly for tracking to work.

Review the Scope/Tasks/Acceptance below, identify the next incomplete task that requires code, implement it, then post a reply comment with the completed items using their exact original text.

• Enforced collaborator and fork gating in the keepalive loop before dispatching Codex runs, honoring the shared Codex config. .github/scripts/keepalive_loop.jsL245-L339
• Required collaborator validation and allowlist checks during keepalive detection, with new tests covering non-collaborator rejection and config-driven allowlists. .github/scripts/agents_pr_meta_keepalive.jsL104-L385 .github/scripts/tests/agents-pr-meta-keepalive.test.jsL430-L544
