What the thread was about

The user asked Codex to change local owner notifications from SMS to Telegram-only and to verify where SMS alerts were coming from. Codex inspected local systemd timers, crontab, journal logs, and local scripts, then updated the CarFit morning healthcheck so owner notifications go through Telegram and SMS is explicitly skipped.

Why this appears to be a false positive

The task did not involve penetration testing, exploitation, malware, credential theft, evasion, or unauthorized access. The likely trigger was benign local operations and log inspection, including commands such as systemctl, journalctl, process cleanup for a runaway ripgrep process, and Android phone bridge/ADB references in local operational logs.

Expected behavior

Authorized local notification routing and system administration should not trigger a cybersecurity-risk warning.
