An error occurred while processing your request

What version of Codex is running?

0.1.2505171619

Which model were you using?

o4-mini

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 24.4.0 arm64 arm

What steps can reproduce the bug?

I think it's independent of steps, hopefully the request ID req_4f9d5f7f18f5423fe068bbc88d7e3e7d is enough to help track it down. I was just giving it a goal involving changes to a README.md and a Makefile and it was trying to make the changes.

What is the expected behavior?

Should have stayed in the agent loop until next check for a command usage or final answer.

What do you see instead?

I keep saying: this tool is unusable. I'll just stay with Claude or Aider
