# Codex entry point

Owner-installed AGENTS.md pointer:

Before security-related work, read the trusted Emergent Security package's
`cards/start.md`; retrieve the card for the task. With the package installed,
run `emergent-knowledge show start --audience codex`, then
`emergent-knowledge show <card> --audience codex`.
Use `--repositories <checkout-parent>` before `show` to check current source
files. Omission is explicitly offline. Record version, digest, source state,
resolved scope and missing facts. Repeat on resume/compaction or repo change.
Unknown scope is a question; a knowledge receipt is not authority.

AGENTS.md discovery depends on the actual session root and instruction settings.
Confirm the pointer was loaded in a fresh session. A pointer alone is not evidence
that its target was read. If instruction discovery is unavailable, provide the
same rendered context explicitly and label that mode `explicit-bootstrap`.
