feature: Instruct codex to read file before writing to a user modified file

Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Feb 23, 2026 by 80avin Closed Mar 29, 2026

What variant of Codex are you using?

CLI

What feature would you like to see?

This feature is present in Claude Code.
If I modify a file after it was last read by the agent, then agent has to re-read it before doing any write to it.
Any write to it returns with an error asking the agent to re-read it.
