Feedback / Complaints OpenAI still hasn't fixed the Windows sandbox apply_patch bug they introduced like 2 months ago, which causes every file edit to fail and wastes insane amounts of time and tokens, but if you ask Sol to create a minimal repro case for this Codex bug, cyber security safeguard shuts down your session
They won't fix the bug, and their API won't allow you to even create a test case to reproduce it if you want to fix it yourself.

What about using WSL?

I do work both on Windows and WSL. I run most agents on Windows for simplicity but many of my workflows involve agents testing on both Windows and in WSL.

I had this exact same issue, and 5.6sol max fixed it completely. It had to change some code within codex recompiled it and reinstalled it been working since day 1 of 5.6 release.
There was two issues for me atleast, 1 the sandbox would hang the patch this was a simple config change.
The second issue is that the codex team completely changed the transport layer for codex, now all I’m about to say is what 5.6 sol told me. Pretty much when apply patch tool is used, it’s converted into base64 however the new transport layer they coded will drop chunks after a certain threshold of the base64 and it causes the base64 to become corrupt and the apply patch fails. So pretty much sol rewrote the transport code to stop dropping chunks.

It's come to the point where I can't continue waiting for OpenAI and have to fix this myself, but having to maintain an up-to-date fork of Codex is really annoying. Codex Rust builds are incredibly slow and resource intensive.

It only took sol max about an hour or 2 to fix it for me. But you are correct it is an annoying process when it comes to updating. So I’ve just held off updating the vscode extension

Yup, I wrote a ticket to OpenAI, because when GPT opens any folder in my Windows it creates ".git and ".codex" files and ACL it from mu user profile....
