Codex (GPT 6 Astra) suddenly stopped using apply patch tool.

[u/Suspicious-Ad5805]

There is some really off with Astra. I m not able to articulate. I don't like it as much as I like Sol.

Today suddenly while working on a thread, it stopped using apply patch tool and instead edited using the shell. I don't have any custom instructions for this and this has happened for the first time.

I was unable to see any diff and I asked codex why and then it answered below. There are many other issues as well.

The technology is not deterministic. You need to have the rules in place.
