## Exact Symptom

See the observed Codex queries below.

## Diagnosis

The repository may declare a broad engine range while the current tool release silently or explicitly requires a newer patch/minor runtime.

## Fix

```
Verifier accepts either a supported runtime pin or a justified compatible dependency pin, and rejects unsafe monkey patches. Check emitted assets and runtime behavior across the supported target.
```

## 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.
