Codex Project Rules

These rules are mandatory for all AI/Codex work in this repository.

Text Editing Safety

• No authored text changes through regex, scripted bulk rewrites, or search-and-replace. No exceptions.
• Use apply_patch for prose, Ink text, localization, documentation, and generated character text.
• Before large text work, create a git check-in.
• Edit text entry by entry. Inspect each edited entry before moving to the next. No generated shortcuts.
• In PowerShell, always force UTF-8 before reading or displaying text: $OutputEncoding = [System.Text.UTF8Encoding]::new(); [Console]::OutputEncoding = [System.Text.UTF8Encoding]::new();
• Ink and localization files must remain UTF-8 with real umlauts, ß, and typographic German quotation marks.
