Prepare Chat, Work, and Codex

Treat this as a cockpit check. Do not change files, install dependencies, start services, or access external systems.

Explain which local workspace and Git repository this Codex project is centered on. Report the repository purpose, branch, working-tree state, remotes, and most recent commit when present. Explain what you can do locally, what would require my approval, and which credentials must never be provided in this conversation.

Distinguish verified facts from inference. End with one harmless read-only check I can authorize to prove that Codex is connected to the intended workspace.
