## Start with the complete walkthrough

Thanks to Decodo for sponsoring this video.

Claude can't fetch web pages. Neither can Codex — not every page, and not reliably. My scheduled Codex task hit 403 Forbidden on the first three npm pages it tried, which means tomorrow's report would have been empty and I'd never have known.

## Follow the full guide

The complete guide linked above contains the written sequence, input choices and checks for this workflow. Use the Short as a preview, then follow that guide alongside the original full video.

## The takeaway

The useful result is a report whose coverage you can verify. Free-plan limits and discount terms in the September video need checking at the destination.
