What issue are you seeing?

After upgrading to v0.131.0, running codex from the terminal does not account for the current working directory and always opens in ~. Downgrading to v0.130.0 fixes the issue. The workaround I found was to use the --cd param to explicitly specify the path.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

1. Upgrade to v0.131.0
2. Open terminal and run codex from your project directory or any other directory that is not ~
3. Codex will still use ~ as the base directory

What is the expected behavior?

Codex should use the current working directory as the base directory
