What is bounded-relay AGENTS.md?

Repository instructions for contributors working on BoundedRelay, a local service that sends limited coding jobs from Claude Code to Codex.

Use them when changing BoundedRelay code to understand its execution modes, routing rules, security requirements, and quality gates.

They define the product's boundaries and the checks contributors must follow, helping prevent unsafe changes such as direct source edits, automatic patch application, or credential storage.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00715	$0.00715
Opus 5.5	$0.00286	$0.00286
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00143	$0.00143

Security

Grade A, and why

bounded-relay AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Repository Operating Rules

These rules apply to human and AI contributors working in this repository.

Product boundary

BoundedRelay is a local stdio MCP server that delegates bounded jobs from Claude Code to the supported codex exec --json interface. It also provides optional, additive SDD primitives for deterministic task routing and content-addressed dual review.

Version 0.1 keeps two established Codex execution modes:

analyze: read-only execution in the validated source Git repository;
proposal: opt-in execution in a disposable clean local clone, returning a validated binary patch that is never applied by this project.

The SDD router separately names two assignment lanes: codex and claude-host. The latter is the current Claude Code session using its host-selected model. The worker must never launch Claude or choose a Claude model.

Do not add direct source-worktree writes, automatic patch application, remote mutation, credential storage, model-quality claims, persistent jobs, or an audit ledger without an explicit design change and matching documentation.

Before changing code

Read README.md, docs/architecture.md, and docs/security-model.md.
Inspect the current source, tests, package scripts, and working tree.
Keep public documentation aligned with the actual implementation.
Preserve the one-way topology: Claude Code → MCP worker → Codex CLI.

Implementation invariants

Never interpolate task text into a shell command.
Spawn executables with argument arrays and shell: false.
Keep MCP stdout protocol-only; diagnostics belong on stderr.
Keep analysis read-only by default.
Proposal mode remains disabled unless CCW_ENABLE_PROPOSALS=true.
Proposal work occurs only in the isolated clone and requires a clean, revision-pinned source.
Validate paths, Git refs, patch size, changed-file count, and symlink boundaries before returning a proposal.
Never apply, commit, push, publish, deploy, or modify a remote system.
Never log or commit authentication material, prompts, job output, or local runtime state.
Unknown Codex JSONL events must not crash a valid run merely because Codex added a new event type.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
