Description

Deep Scan workers construct draft payloads using persisted-artifact fields such as scope.includePaths, scope.excludePaths, coverage.scanId, coverage.mode, and coverage.inventoryStrategy. The MCP tool rejects these fields, requiring the worker to retry before it can save progress.

Reproduction: run a Deep Scan against a small repository and inspect the first record_codex_security_scan_draft invocation.

Expected: worker instructions and examples produce a valid semantic draft on the first attempt.

Research direction

Search for the Deep Scan worker guidance, examples, and the record_codex_security_scan_draft invocation, then compare them with the MCP input schema using the listed persisted-artifact fields. Run a Deep Scan against a small repository and inspect the first invocation; done means it produces a valid semantic draft without retrying.
