BuildBrake, from first run to proof.
BuildBrake wraps your own Codex CLI with an outcome contract, a resource budget, bounded context, and a reviewable receipt.

What BuildBrake does not do
BuildBrake does not replace Codex, provide an OpenAI account, or guarantee that every task will use fewer tokens. It makes the intended outcome explicit, limits execution, narrows supplied context, and records what happened so the result can be evaluated.
