## Exact Symptom

See the observed Codex queries below.

## Diagnosis

The query shape remains valid but server defaults change completeness or meaning; local tests with small data sets cannot reveal truncation.

## Fix

```
Verifier checks complete results or an intentional cap with correct pagination. Check both uncapped and intentionally capped use cases.
```

## Avoid

- Changing local code without checking the current external contract.
- Retrying the same install, build, or API call with no version/source change.
- Applying a broad unsafe bypass when a narrow compatibility fix is available.
