2026-10-19. The maintainer, in the ocx2 thread: "the codex cloud agent ia resisting the ocx connection. can you help me spin up a local instance in a sandbox?" and "i want it to listen to this same thread."

On a scratch repository served by Fossil as its own CGI, running the staged release 07fff8dad1: a node installed with a user holding no capability, the page run/codex saved by the setup user, and one create replying in a thread. The run started; Codex ran in OCX's sandbox (bwrap, uid 1000, network, the account's .codex bound into its home) with the run's line on its standard input. A post in the thread from a user it hears started it again with the post. Each time it stopped at OpenAI's 401, since Codex was not signed in on that host; nothing else failed. Not tried: a signed-in Codex answering with ocx2 post.

The attachment codex-trial-record.tar, plain, holds the page run-codex.md, the steps, create's answer, the thread and the hook's log.
