# Conversation-link audience exercise

No real link is created by this pack. example.invalid is a reserved invalid domain. The conversation and people are fictional. Do not paste confidential chat history here.

For the documented local Codex snapshot feature in ChatGPT for macOS, opening Share starts the snapshot upload. Copy link publishes it to the selected audience. Review the local content and permission to upload BEFORE opening Share. A rehearsal must use a separate synthetic-only thread; cancelling publication is not evidence that no upload occurred.

That snapshot may include visible messages, reasoning summaries, images, file paths and diffs, but excludes original tool calls, shell commands and tool input/output. Known-secret redaction is not a guarantee that all sensitive context is removed. Later thread messages do not update the existing snapshot.

If the organisation authorises a manual test, create a link only from the synthetic conversation through the actual approved sharing surface. Record the provider, feature and account type. Compare intended recipients, unrelated accounts and a signed-out view. The expected access in audience-check.csv reflects the fictional exercise’s private intent, not a promised default for any provider.
