Codex Quickstart

Goal: get to a useful protected Codex workflow quickly, then add SDE-backed governed execution when you need deterministic authorization and enterprise evidence.

1) Use the standalone free baseline

node scripts/verify_config_contract.js
node scripts/verify_local_hardening.js
node scripts/run_free_demo.js

2) Evaluate a single sample event

node scripts/evaluate_event.js --event examples/readonly-shell-event.json --config codex.user-config.entry.example.json

3) Optional: run the governed example with the mock PDP

node scripts/mock_pdp.js
node scripts/run_governed_example.js

4) Review generated evidence

Check the generated free and governed evidence artifacts in the release-evidence directory to confirm the local allow/block posture and the governed trace model.
