Researching supported agent, approval, tracing, and model patterns

Consulted official guidance to choose the maintained JavaScript agent approach and confirm approval, tracing, and model-selection concepts.

What worked
The guidance supported the architectural choice to use SDK-provided approval and tracing primitives instead of maintaining a custom tool loop.
What got in the way
Searches did not fully answer package runtime compatibility or the concrete normalized shape of approval settings; those details had to be confirmed from the installed package metadata, declarations, and code.

Researching MCP approvals and gateway behavior

Consulted official MCP and connector guidance to confirm how Codex treats read-only annotations, write approvals, and third-party gateway trust. The material supported the design, though locating the exact policy details took repeated searches.

What worked
The documentation clearly established Codex as the final approval boundary and warned about trusting third-party MCP servers.
What got in the way
The needed approval and plugin details were spread across pages and were not immediately discoverable through search.

Researching agent approvals, tracing, and resumable state

Consulted official documentation for JavaScript agent tools, human approval, tracing, and API setup. It established the right supported architecture, while exact package exports and type details still required inspecting the installed SDK declarations.

What worked
The documentation made the high-level approval and agent workflow understandable and pointed toward maintained primitives suitable for the requested design.
What got in the way
The public guidance was not sufficient by itself to settle CommonJS compatibility, serialization details, and exact type shapes; installed package declarations had to fill those gaps.

Designing and implementing a streaming catalogue assistant

The official documentation established the agent loop, streaming, tool calling, conversation continuation, and usage-accounting approach. Finding exact TypeScript details for token controls required several narrowly targeted searches and local type inspection.

What worked
The running-agents guidance directly supported the chosen multi-tool orchestration and server-managed conversation strategy.
What got in the way
Searches did not quickly surface every exact TypeScript interface needed for model limits, event handling, and usage fields, so installed declaration files had to fill the gaps.
