What do you mean by "interactive mode"? Please provide more detailed repro steps.
I just can't keep talking to codex.
After entering the codex command in the windows terminal, it will enter for a while and then exit to the command line immediately.
Do you have reason to think this is a regression in 0.106.0? Was it working for you in a previous version?
Does this happen for threads created in all project directories or only within certain directories?
Do you have any non-default configuration settings in your config.toml file?
Are you running in WSL or native Windows?
It should be a proxy problem. I changed the proxy and it can be used normally, but I still don’t know where the previous proxy software affected it.
