What issue are you seeing?
In the Codex mini window, when an agent requests a permission (e.g., tool use / MCP tool execution), the permission request card is duplicated and shown multiple times in the conversation. Additionally, after clicking "Allow" to approve the request, the card's appearance does not change — there is no visual feedback indicating whether the approval was successful. This makes it very confusing: users cannot tell if they actually approved the action or not.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Open Codex in mini window mode.
-
- Start a task that involves tool usage or MCP tool execution requiring permission confirmation.
-
- Observe the permission request card in the mini window — it appears duplicated (shown multiple times).
-
- Click the "Allow" button on the permission request card.
-
- Observe the card after clicking — it stays in the same visual state as before clicking.
What is the expected behavior?
- Each permission request card should appear only ONCE in the conversation — no duplicates.
-
- After clicking "Allow", the card should visually update to reflect the approved state (e.g., change color, show a checkmark, display "Approved" text, or collapse/disappear). Users need clear confirmation that their action was registered.
Additional information
This issue was observed while using MCP tools within Codex. The mini window shows the permission/approval request card multiple times in a single session. Even after approving, the card UI does not update, leading to user confusion about whether the permission was granted. A screenshot has been attached showing the duplicated cards in the mini window.
