  "2026-05-01T20:51:21.686Z",codex-agent,"Duplicate check evidence: ran pm context --limit 10,pm search for README documentation docs progressive disclosure agents private operations,pm list-open --limit 20,and pm list-in-progress --limit 20. No open or in-progress documentation overhaul item existed; closed historical hits were not reusable,so a net-new parent epic was required."

  "2026-05-01T20:51:21.686Z",codex-agent,Keep private operations material out of public README and docs pages.
close_reason: Documentation overhaul and public docs safety delivered through pm-r9gu and pm-1sb2 with verified progressive docs and private operations exclusion.
body: "Coordinates the documentation refresh requested on 2026-05-01. Public docs are concise at entry points, detailed in deeper pages, optimized for low-token agent navigation, and exclude private operations material."
