kapacitor plugin install --codex --project # this repo only (<repo>/.codex/hooks.json)
kapacitor plugin remove --codex # uninstall
```

After a `--project` install, Codex won't actually run the hooks until you trust the directory: run `codex` once in the repo and accept the trust prompt.

- **Transcript data** — streamed in real time via a background watcher process over SignalR
