    I'm seeing the same issue.

    Environment:

    • Codex CLI 0.143.0
    • Ubuntu 24.04 under WSL2
    • ChatGPT Plus

    Symptoms:

    • GPT-5.5 cannot execute even basic shell commands.
    • Run ls returns:
      unsupported call: exec_command
    • This happens even with:
      --sandbox danger-full-access --ask-for-approval never

    Important finding:
    Switching to GPT-5.4 medium immediately fixes the issue. The same prompt (Run ls) executes successfully on GPT-5.4.

    codex doctor reports no failures.

    Same issue while sshing to an Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS server while using gpt5.5 . Switching to 5.4 actually starts being able to run all the commands again.

    Also running gpt5.5 with opencode works as normal

    Used npm install -g @openai/codex@0.142.5 and skipping to next version for now, since i assume we get new version for the new models tomorrow
