rdmpw3265m-changelog-20260904-0718-codex-load-normalization

Made the Codex skill-catalog budget explicit on the Intel control host and verified its already-lean plugin policy remained unchanged.

Scope, files, and result

Fleet scope: six Macs; file changed here: /Users/richh/.codex/config.toml.
Plugin tables remained 11 enabled and 0 disabled; no broad imported packs or exact byte-identical local skill pairs required suppression.
Explicit skill-catalog budget: 10,000 tokens.
Final config SHA-256: 3a6e30ccf1e475bdce549bb4dca74d9f35b9bfb9e09d1893538cfc82ab03dfca.
Auth, history, cookies, approvals, sessions, MCP definitions, Mem0, Firecrawl, and caches were untouched.

Read-only loading/duplicate inventory; staged dry-run and hash-guarded budget apply.
Staged and live codex --strict-config doctor --json: config parse successful.
End-state inventory confirmed launchctl limit maxfiles remains 256 and Codex CLI is 0.153.2.

Primary backup: /Users/richh/.agent-coordination/backups/codex-load-normalization-20260904T0615/rdmpw3265m/config.toml.before; budget phase backup: codex-load-normalization-20260904T0630-budget/rdmpw3265m/.
Undo after a current hash comparison and fresh backup by atomically restoring the appropriate before-file, then run strict doctor.
Apple Notes publication is pending because this SSH session is Background; this file record is complete.
The configured full-state backup wrapper is absent; exact phase backups remain the verified rollback path.
