Why

  • tighten Codex memory-read behavior around stale facts and conflicting memory
  • encode the risk-of-drift vs verification-effort decision rule directly in the read-path prompt
  • make partial stale-detail updates explicit so correcting only the answer is not treated as sufficient

What changed

  • update codex-rs/core/templates/memories/read_path.md
  • add guidance for when to verify cheap local facts vs when to answer from older memory with visible provenance
  • strengthen same-turn MEMORY.md updates when stored concrete details are stale

Notes

  • this is based on some staleness eval work
