What issue are you seeing?

Codex has been acting weird for me lately, like it completely ignores the interactive back and forth I typically experience (in the sense that it is no longer a call and response interaction, it will just go on wild tangents without asking me for explicit feedback like it normally does) and was super wasteful of tokens over the past 2-3 weeks.

I dont know why this happens, but I use codex in a virtualized codespace environment because that seems to be the most deterministic and predictable over allowing codex to be on my local machine. Not sure why this is happening.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Uploaded thread: 019dedae-bb57-7731-bf5e-ea78ae6a9568

Just interacting with Codex.

What is the expected behavior?

Call and response, asking permission before executing actions, asking which path I prefer, and overall collaboration vs brute force mistakes.

Thanks for the bug report. This appears to be model behavior, not a Codex harness issue. We'll share the feedback with the team responsible for training our codex models. We're tracking this feedback and similar reports so we can improve future models. And thanks for using the /feedback command. That additional information is useful.
