Reposition README: local black box recorder for Codex CLI - #1

Conversation
Lead with the actual wedge (hooks miss apply_patch/MCP/subagents, so reconstruct the full run from rollout files) instead of a generic "telemetry" framing. Pain-first structure, real stats output as proof, "questions it answers" + copy-paste SQL, an honest capability table, and the agent-ops-stack context. Softens the version-pinned hook claim so a future Codex release can't make the headline read as wrong. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Repositions the repo around its actual insight instead of a generic "telemetry" framing.
Why
The old headline read "Telemetry for the OpenAI Codex CLI — the sibling of cc-logger." Accurate but generic, and it buried the sharpest point: Codex hooks are incomplete (on the build tested,
PreToolUse/PostToolUsefire for shell only), so this tool bypasses hooks and reconstructs the full run —apply_patch, MCP calls, subagents — from the rollout files Codex already writes. That's the wedge, and it now leads.What changed
codex-logger statsoutput up top (apply_patch/write_stdincounts that hooks would miss), plussessions/inspectexamples.pyproject.tomlpackage description to match.Docs only — no code changes. Stats/sessions output in the README is real (ingested from local Codex history); the
inspectblock is sanitized/illustrative to avoid leaking real paths.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
