What issue are you seeing?
Codex will often replace modified code with old code from it's memory:
- I ask Codex to modify some code.
- I manually modify the code myself.
- I ask Codex about the code again, and it reverts the code to something in its memory.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Uploaded thread: 019e5f94-4f53-7103-8b1a-ae13700eb989
- Ask Codex to edit a file
- Work on some other stuff
- Edit the file yourself (without committing changes)
- Ask Codex to edit the file again
What is the expected behavior?
I would like Codex to see my recent changes and not overwrite them (or at least not without asking me)
Additional information
This can happen with any agent, but I've seen it the most often with Codex

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
/feedbackcommand. That additional information is useful.
