@MrPunyapal @marcelpociot I had the same experience with Claude Code. There I resolved by adding "I'm using Laravel Herd use `C:\Users\username\.config\herd\bin\herd.bat` before every php command." to the Claude.md file. I suspect it can be similar with Codex

I made a deep dive in https://t.co/dq7Skqv06x

When we open a PDF, we see text, images, and sometimes a form to fill in. But a PDF carries more than that.
Invisible text can hide in plain sight with just opacity and color changes. You don't see it, but the AI agents can be affected.

👇A few more samples in thread

[Alessio Vertemati @avvertix]

Text can be hidden using same color as background, small font size, transparency and even layers.

@PovilasKorop Was trying to understand the same 15 exceptions reported by Laravel Nightwatch in less than 5 minutes

@zacbowden It might be the first time after the Surface Book 3 that I'm looking forward to see more details.

@pushpak1300 I started exploring FFI with Rust to generate open graph images https://t.co/rrPqkNQGLy, no JS involved

@rauchg Content-md https://t.co/HaUg9wFghi website layout and the command line. Used Claude Code with Opus 4.6

[Alessio Vertemati @avvertix]

The module check the accept header and serve the pre-computed markdown file if found. I'm using it two power https://t.co/HaUg9wFghi

Serving markdown to agents from static websites, easy as @caddyserver can do that, just adding options on top of a solid base https://t.co/uMMIwShf8Q

@_philschmid Vibes is the starting point for deciding what to evaluate first and whether to evaluate it. Unless we speak about unit-tests

[Alessio Vertemati @avvertix]

@mattshumer_ Agreed! While working with agents, Markdown improves readability and enables fast interaction. HTML brings style, which we usually focus on at the expense of the text we were working on. Few thoughts on what I include in Markdown https://t.co/HaUg9wFghi

[Alessio Vertemati @avvertix]

I think it's a matter of reading versus presenting. Markdown is simple enough to be read, copied and pasted across different editing workflows. HTML is the final artefact; once you're in HTML, you start thinking about colours and the text goes into the background.

@karpathy HTML can be tricky when you want your output to be copyable elsewhere. I've noticed that Claude prefers to write HTML, perhaps due to a prompt configuration, when chatting. Personally, I prefer to write in Markdown first and convert later.

[Alessio Vertemati @avvertix]

@_philschmid Agree, Markdown plus components helps control token usage. Rendering is the last part, most of the time you need readability first. With https://t.co/HaUg9wFghi I'm proposing somehow a bridge

[Alessio Vertemati @avvertix]

@addyosmani I think html is best as presentation layers at the end of the process, while working with agents markdown is quicker to read and edit. That's how I created https://t.co/HaUg9wFghi started in markdown than iterated in html for the design

[Alessio Vertemati @avvertix]

@ashleyhindle @every I also considered agent readiness and made a proposal for what the returned markdown should look like https://t.co/HaUg9wFghi

[Alessio Vertemati @avvertix]

My first #Caddy module. Static websites can now serve markdown to agents https://t.co/uMMIwShf8Q
