+Terminal protocol replies and local backspace editing are removed only from

+Codex while the wrapped program still receives the original byte stream.
 
 The submitted target line is sanitized, sender-labelled, deliberately
 non-routable, and then followed by exactly one Enter key:

+
+Reproduce the missing `#repo:` route with a real isolated Codex TUI, extend
+input observation to recognize enhanced terminal Enter encodings without
+rewriting pane input, add regression and real-Codex smoke evidence, install the
+fix, and update the operator documentation.
+
+## Completion evidence
+
+- Reproduced the failure with two isolated real Codex 0.149.1 panes: Codex
+  submitted the source line but no durable message was created.
+- Raw input capture showed CSI cursor/device replies preceding the typed route;
+  these contaminated the tap's observation buffer before the terminating CR.
+- The observer now removes terminal protocol sequences and applies local
+  backspace editing only to its parsing copy while forwarding source bytes
+  unchanged.
+- A network-disabled two-Codex rerun created one durable `#audit-core:` message,
+  transitioned it to `injected`, and showed the `# from flex-auth:` prompt in
+  the target's queued follow-up inputs.
+- Full checks and installed-package verification passed. No user session or
+  durable user message was changed during diagnosis.
