Outcome

• Built a reusable local Codex automation inventory helper:
  • C:\Users\SAguiar\Documents\Codex\automation-inventory-helper\inventory_codex_automations.py
• Added helper README:
  • C:\Users\SAguiar\Documents\Codex\automation-inventory-helper\README.md
• The helper reads:
  • C:\Users\SAguiar\.codex\automations\*\automation.toml
  • C:\Users\SAguiar\.codex\sqlite\codex-dev.db tables automations and automation_runs
• It emits a timestamped report pack with merged inventory, run summaries, and optional checked-ID classification.

Baseline Run

• Command used:
  • python C:\Users\SAguiar\Documents\Codex\automation-inventory-helper\inventory_codex_automations.py --check-id d4714c09
• Baseline report pack:
  • C:\Users\SAguiar\Documents\Codex\automation-inventory-helper\reports\2026-04-29_233715\
• Baseline result:
  • 9 live automation IDs present in both TOML and SQLite
  • 0 TOML-only IDs
  • 0 SQLite-only IDs
  • checked ID d4714c09 classified as missing_from_local_stores

Why This Matters

• Future agents now have a repeatable local proof path before claiming that an automation still exists or has been changed.
• This reduces the chance of repeating the stale-handle confusion that happened around d4714c09.

Pending Approval Questions

1. Should I use the current workflow-family audit to compare the healthiest completion lanes against the heaviest backlog lanes so we can isolate whether the main problem is generation design, assignment design, or local completion habits?

A (Recommended): Compare Josh Hollan and Austin Johnson against Jordan Hatfield, Christine Tingle, and Adam McDonald next.

B: Skip owner comparison and go straight to hunting the generation source.
