In the saved run, ten candidates produced six confirmed findings, two marked `not_actionable`, and two left in `needs_review`. The four confirmed crAPI findings became a Codex `/goal` prompt we can review before requesting fixes.\n",

Once you understand where it gets things right (and where it needs your help/additional context) you can decide what to add next."
