What issue are you seeing?
While it is editing files and when it finishes working, it shows the files it worked on and the changes it did. It would be most helpful that if when you click the file it doesn't open the file in finder. That's not helpful. Instead please either integrate it with code editors, open the file directly which for most people will open the file in their code editor, or simply remove that onClick and fallback to the opening the diff of that file which is already in place if you click a bit more to the right, I don't mind this last one because the diff changes in the codex app work very well and you pretty much need no further information.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Simply ask it to edit anything

You can choose what happens when you click on a file. You probably have it set to "Finder". To change this, go to the General panel in Settings and look for the "Default open destination" setting.

I had the same behavior and mine was set to iTerm2. Thanks for the help.
