Repro + local redacted logs (Windows, Jan 30 2026)

Error in Codex CLI (multiple times):

I'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.

• I'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
• I'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
• I'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.

Worked for 3m 35s

■ stream disconnected before completion: response.failed event received

Context

  • Codex CLI stream drops with repeated refusal text and then response.failed

Codex CLI local logs (redacted, NO app logs)

codex-tui.log

2026-01-30T10:28:27.324955Z  INFO codex_core::codex: Turn error: stream disconnected before completion: response.failed event received

session JSONL (same timeframe)

[
  {"timestamp":"2026-01-30T10:28:04.939Z","type":"event_msg","payload":{"type":"agent_message","message":"I'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request."}},
  {"timestamp":"2026-01-30T10:28:04.939Z","type":"response_item","payload":{"type":"message","role":"assistant","content":[{"type":"output_text","text":"I'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request."}]}}
]

Note: Codex session logs do NOT include HTTP request headers or raw request payloads (only event items like agent_message/response_item), so I can’t extract headers/payload from local Codex logs.

Thanks for the bug report. 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 make future models more robust and efficient. And thanks for using the /feedback command. That additional information is useful.
