What issue are you seeing?
The Codex, across all of its model configurations, does not limit itself to an approved execution plan and consistently implements additional changes beyond what was approved. This appears to be a consequence of the strict autonomy rule.
Rules for getting work done → ## Autonomy and persistence → lista “When asked to”.
O texto exato em inglês é:
“Change or build: implement the requested change, verify it in proportion to risk, and hand off the completed result while a safe, relevant next step remains.”
