Codex removes the last empty line, and can not bring it back

Removes empty line:
<img width="1072" height="490" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/2efac361-8eaa-4ed7-b876-e0945729f5ef" />

Try to bring it back, failed:
<img width="997" height="101" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/293f8053-f7fd-4757-9692-f4c801d52029" />

Second try:
<img width="1064" height="113" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b3a0fc1e-afe2-4baa-9b37-435eafc26d12" />

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Not sure, but the default patch tool (apply_patch, I guess) seems to struggle with the trailing empty line; it will struggle multiple times, then try to generate a Python script, and that will work.

What is the expected behavior?

The empty line should be added as the model says.
