What issue are you seeing?
When using custom PR creation instructions in Codex App settings, the PR is generated mostly correctly (structure, formatting, sections, etc.). However, the app appends the entire raw instruction template verbatim to the end of the PR description.
This appears unintended — the instructions should guide generation, not be included in the final PR body.
The appended content is exactly the same as the configured instruction text, including comments and formatting.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Configure custom PR creation instructions in Codex App settings
- Open a repository in Codex App
- Make any change and click Create PR
- Observe generated PR description
- At the bottom, the full instruction template is appended verbatim
What is the expected behavior?
The instruction template should be used only as generation guidance and must NOT appear in the final PR description.
Only the rendered PR content should be included.
Additional information
My PR instructions:
Structure the PR body as follows for clarity and ease of review:
## What Changed
- Summarize the key changes (e.g., added X feature, fixed Y bug).
- List modified files or components if relevant.
## Why
- Explain the problem solved or goal achieved.
- Link to related issues, tickets, or discussions (e.g., Closes #123).
## How to Test
- Provide step-by-step instructions for verifying the changes.
- Include expected outcomes, edge cases, or setup requirements.
## Additional Notes
- Mention risks, dependencies, or alternatives considered.
Keep the title concise and descriptive (e.g., "feat: Add user authentication").
