What version of Codex is running?
0.1.2505172129
Which model were you using?
codex-mini-latest
What platform is your computer?
Darwin 24.3.0 arm64 arm
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Create a project with paths that contain parentheses.
What is the expected behavior?
Paths should be safely escaped in tool calls.
What do you see instead?
Directory paths with parentheses in them (common in SvelteKit apps) are often not escaped, yielding tool calls that fail:
$ sed -n '732,756p' src/routes/(dashboard)/dashboard/speech/[speechId]/+page.svelte | sed $'s/\t/→/g'
command.stdout (code: 2, duration: 0.4s)
bash: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `('
bash: -c: line 0: `sed -n '732,756p' src/routes/(dashboard)/dashboard/speech/[speechId]/+page.svelte | sed $'s/\t/→/g''
