### What steps can reproduce the bug?

1. Set up a Synology NAS with a Docker container running rclone.
2. Bind-mount a Synology host folder into the container as /gdrivebackup.
3. Create a separate Synology DSM shared folder on the host at /volume1/Clients, but do not bind-mount that path into the rclone container.
4. Tell Codex that /gdrivebackup is accessed through the rclone container and that /volume1/Clients is a Synology shared folder on the host.
5. Ask Codex to help migrate data from /gdrivebackup/clients archived into the new Clients shared folder.
6. Codex instructs the user to enter the rclone container and run a copy from /gdrivebackup/clients archived to /volume1/Clients.
7. Because /volume1/Clients is not mounted into the container, the copy writes to the container’s internal filesystem rather than the real Synology shared folder.
8. Codex then verifies the copy from inside the same container, accepts the invalid verification, and recommends deleting the original source.
9. After deletion, inspect /volume1/Clients from the Synology host/File Station and observe that the DSM shared folder is empty while the copied data exists only inside the container filesystem.

### What is the expected behavior?

Codex should listen to the user’s prompts describing the distinction between the rclone container and the Synology shared folder, and recognize that /gdrivebackup and /volume1/Clients are in different filesystem namespaces because one is accessed inside a Docker container and the other is a Synology host shared folder.

Before recommending any copy or deletion, Codex should require verification of Docker bind mounts with a command such as:

docker inspect rclone-gdrive --format '{{range .Mounts}}{{println .Source "->" .Destination}}{{end}}'

Codex should not assume that /volume1/Clients inside the container refers to the Synology host shared folder. It should either:
- run the copy from the Synology host filesystem, or
- ensure the real /volume1/Clients host share is bind-mounted into the container before copying.

Codex should refuse to recommend deleting the source until the destination has been verified from the Synology host/File Station side, outside the container namespace.

### Additional information

The user repeatedly corrected Codex about the access pattern, including that the correct workflow was SSH into the Synology host, then enter the rclone Docker container. Codex acknowledged this but still treated container paths and host paths as interchangeable.

The issue was discovered only after the original source had already been deleted and Synology File Station showed the real Clients shared folder as empty. A host-side Docker inspection later showed that /volume1/Clients had not been mounted into the rclone container. The copied data appeared to exist only in the container’s writable layer at rclone-gdrive:/volume1/Clients.

This incident caused substantial distress because the data represented approximately 31 years of client and project archive material. The assistant’s verification step was invalid because it verified the copy from inside the same incorrect container namespace where the accidental copy had been created.

The user is now forced to perform an additional long recovery copy out of the container filesystem to the real Synology shared folder and then re-verify before the container copy can be safely removed.
