Quiet mode doesn't seem to work for me. At least not with provider set to azure.

What version of Codex is running?

0.1.2505172129

Which model were you using?

I don't know. I have another issue #1155 explaining why I am not confident.

What platform is your computer?

Linux 6.8.0-45-generic x86_64 x86_64

What steps can reproduce the bug?

$ codex --provider AZURE --quiet "I command you to ack this request"
{"role":"user","content":[{"type":"input_text","text":"I command you to ack this request"}],"type":"message"}

What is the expected behavior?

I believe I should be getting a response from the model.

What do you see instead?

some json describing my request

Additional information

_No response_

I think we're hitting a similar issue?

When passing --provider azure and --quiet, it crashes with "Raw mode is not supported":

codex -a suggest --base origin/main --json --quiet --yes --provider azure \
  -q "Review the current pull-request diff and rewrite bad patterns you find. " | tee codex.review.json
  shell: /usr/bin/bash -e {0}
  env:
    AZURE_API_KEY: ***
    AZURE_BASE_URL: ***
  
  ERROR Raw mode is not supported on the current process.stdin, which Ink uses
       as input stream by default.

Check if you have env var DEBUG set to true

⚠️ Same underlying issue in #1080, #1156, and #1208 (also reproducible in AWS Lambda)

All three reports crash with the identical Ink error:

Error: Raw mode is not supported on the current process.stdin …

The Codex CLI calls stdin.setRawMode(true) via Ink’s useInput.
If the process has no real TTY (CI runners, Jupyter/Colab, Lambda, Docker without -t) Ink throws and Codex exits before any flags are parsed.

➡️ There is no reliable headless work-around yet

• Setting CI=true and passing --yes --allow-outside-git --approval-mode full-auto is not sufficient—Ink still initialises useInput and the CLI crashes.
• Same result in Lambda, GitHub Actions, Azure Functions, and Colab notebooks.

🛠 Proposed fix for the CLI

Provide an official --ci / --headless flag (or honour CI=true) that completely disables Ink’s useInput before raw-mode is attempted.
Make that flag automatically imply --yes and --allow-outside-git.
Document usage for CI/CD environments (Actions, GitLab, Lambda, etc.).

Until then the only viable option is:

Run Codex CLI inside an environment that has a TTY (e.g. self-hosted runner with docker run -it …).
