how are these scripts used in the context of https://chatgpt.com/codex?
I mean, how do I make the environment where Codex is running to execute these commands? My best guess here is to indicate it in an AGENTS.md file and keep this codex.sh script somewhere else?
Thanks!

in the web version of codex (which where you use this)
you create an environment at chatgpt.com/codex, and go to its setup configuration. there will be a textarea where you can a write a setup script for the environment. that’s where this goes.
