⏺ Background command "Codex adversarial review" completed (exit code 0)

⏺ The Codex adversarial review has completed. Let me fetch the results.

Read 1 file (ctrl+o to expand)

⏺ The raw output is all [codex] trace lines without the final review text. Let me check the job log for the actual review output.

Read 2 files, listed 3 directories (ctrl+o to expand)

⏺ Bash(node "/Users/simon/.claude/plugins/cache/openai-codex/codex/1.0.3/scripts/codex-companion.mjs" status review-mnus37r6-c6cllg 2>&1)

⏺ The Codex process exited (pid 16329 is gone) but the job JSON wasn't updated to "completed" - it looks like the review output may not have been captured. Let me try to retrieve the final
response from the Codex session directly.

⏺ Bash(codex resume 019d7e33-11d0-7332-8a96-d249109ea270 --dump 2>&1 | head -500)
⎿  error: unexpected argument '--dump' found

⏺ Bash(codex debug --help 2>&1)

 Usage: codex debug [OPTIONS] <COMMAND>
 … +23 lines (ctrl+o to expand)

Searched for 6 patterns, listed 1 directory (ctrl+o to expand)

⏺ The Codex process exited but it appears the review text wasn't persisted to a retrievable file - the companion script's background task captured only the trace/progress lines, not the
final model output. The Codex session ID is 019d7e33-11d0-7332-8a96-d249109ea270 if you want to try resuming it interactively with codex resume 019d7e33-11d0-7332-8a96-d249109ea270.

Let me run the review again in the foreground so we actually capture the output this time.
