 <Note>
 `memory/*.md` daily files are **not** part of the normal bootstrap Project Context. On ordinary turns they are accessed on demand via the `memory_search` and `memory_get` tools, so they do not count against the context window unless the model explicitly reads them. Bare `/new` and `/reset` turns are the exception: the runtime can prepend recent daily memory as a one-shot startup-context block for that first turn.

+## Workspace bootstrap files

+Codex handles `AGENTS.md` itself through native project-doc discovery. OpenClaw
+does not write synthetic Codex project-doc files or depend on Codex fallback
+filenames for persona files, because Codex fallbacks only apply when
+`AGENTS.md` is missing.
+
+For OpenClaw workspace parity, the Codex harness resolves the other bootstrap
+files (`SOUL.md`, `TOOLS.md`, `IDENTITY.md`, `USER.md`, `HEARTBEAT.md`,
+`BOOTSTRAP.md`, and `MEMORY.md` when present) and forwards them through Codex
+config instructions on `thread/start` and `thread/resume`. This keeps
+`SOUL.md` and related workspace persona/profile context visible without
+duplicating `AGENTS.md`.
