### Strict Scope and Task-Delta Gate

-
For this gate, an active task is one independent, verifiable user objective,
not the permanent lifetime of a UI conversation. It includes every later turn
and correction for that objective, including after a handoff. Only after the
previous objective is complete and the user explicitly requests an independent
objective may Codex capture a new baseline and freeze a new boundary. When a
user request could reasonably be either a follow-up or an independent
objective, remain read-only and co [...]
Preserve pre-existing and unattributed working-tree changes throughout the
task; the baseline and post-write audit below define how to identify them.
1. Derive the acceptance checklist only from user-requested outcomes, direct
prerequisites proven by inspected evidence, and focused regression protection
required by `.codex/skills/code-implementation/references/rules/testing.md`. Do
not turn an agent-proposed cleanup, refactor, generalization, consistency
improvement, or adjacent fix into an acceptance criterion.
-2. Treat a prerequisite as direct only when omitting it would prevent the
requested behavior, compilation, or scoped verification and no smaller
in-boundary alternative exists. Relevance, repository evidence, a test failure,
or a review finding may prove that expansion is required, but does not
authorize that expansion.
+2. Add a prerequisite to the acceptance checklist only when omitting it
prevents the requested behavior, compilation, or scoped verification, no
smaller in-boundary alternative exists, and every required write is already
allowlisted.
+ Otherwise it requires scope expansion; relevance, evidence, failures, and
review findings never authorize it.
3. Before the first write, record the pre-task working-tree baseline,
including the existing status and relevant diffs, and derive the smallest
owning module or repository-path set from the user request and inspected
evidence, whether or not the user named it. Freeze the allowed files and the
allowed change intent for each file as the hard write allowlist for the active
Codex task; an allowed file does not authorize unrelated hunks in that file.
4. Later user turns, follow-up changes, reviews, failures, and further
inspection in the same task do not reset or expand the baseline or boundary.
Inspection and verification outside the boundary remain read-only. Never edit
another module, including a sibling, shared, dependency, parent, root, or
consuming module, unless the user explicitly authorizes the exact additional
path and change intent before the edit. Treat that authorization as an
append-only expansion: map it to an acceptan [...]
5. When the request makes the boundary clear, infer and freeze it without
asking the user to repeat it. Every changed file and task-introduced hunk must
map directly to one acceptance criterion and be necessary to satisfy it.
-6. After each file-changing action, inspect the paths and hunks that action
may have changed before continuing. Tool-produced changes are task changes and
receive no scope exemption.
+6. Before a tool may modify tracked, user-authored, or task-introduced
repository files, verify that every possible write path is allowlisted;
otherwise do not run it.
+ After each file-changing action, inspect the actual paths and hunks before
continuing.
+ Tool-produced changes are task changes and receive no scope exemption.
7. If evidence proves that work outside the frozen boundary is required, stop
before that edit. Report the blocking evidence, smallest additional scope,
exact files or contracts, and consequence of declining it, then request
confirmation. Until expansion is authorized, limit outside-boundary work to the
read-only evidence needed for that report; do not start its design or
implementation workflow. Report other out-of-scope findings without fixing them.
8. After the last file-changing action, audit the task-introduced delta
against the pre-task baseline, not merely the aggregate working-tree diff.
Preserve every pre-existing user change and every later delta that cannot be
proven to result from a current-task write. Absence from the baseline does not
prove task ownership. Treat an unattributed delta as user-owned, do not
overwrite, format, remove, or roll it back, and stop the affected write path to
report the conflict. Remove only prov [...]
9. Hand off only when the audited task delta is the smallest correct change.
Summarize each remaining file as `file -> changed behavior -> acceptance
criterion -> necessity` so the user can verify the scope directly.
