Generated note

The instruction is not an absolute ban: the omitted clause allows those mentions when directly relevant to the user’s query. The sources identify it as Codex CLI/OpenAI Codex base instructions, not proof of every Codex system prompt. https://www.wired.com/story/openai-really-wants-codex-to-shut-up-about-goblins/ https://simonwillison.net/2026/Apr/28/openai-codex/
