 Với Codex, mở `/hooks`, review và trust đúng project hook sau lần init hoặc khi
 bootstrap hash thay đổi.
 
+Codex hooks gọi bootstrap tương đối từ project root và không phụ thuộc vào
+`git rev-parse`, nên ownership hoặc cấu hình Git không thể làm hỏng lifecycle
+hook. Git vẫn được khuyến nghị mạnh cho source provenance, review diff và
+rollback trước khi cho agent thực hiện side effect.
