For beginners, I would say also ask Codex to create a backup of your .codex folder first so you can revert it if you need to. But since Codex is making the adjustment to only one line (if you have it do it for you) it’s quite low risk in general.
But it depends on your process and workflow. Some people want to know all the ins and outs, some people don’t care and just want to get it done
