No install. No account. Public and anonymous. The link asks your agent for one report, nothing else. What it sends

Active task ends with AGENTS.md acknowledgment instead of completing. Codex starts an actionable request, sometimes edits a few files, then ends the turn acknowledging shared AGENTS.md or standing preferences.
