Parse at the Boundary

Every piece of data entering your code from outside your control must be parsed through a schema exactly once, at the boundary. After parsing, downstream code receives typed data and never re-validates.

If parsing fails, fail loudly. Never silently coerce.

"We require Codex to parse data shapes at the boundary, but are not prescriptive on how that happens." — OpenAI Harness Engineering
