Regression: Codex overwrites PR titles with “Codex-generated pull request #XXX

Open 💬 1 comment Opened Mar 17, 2026 by choovioiot

What issue are you seeing?

Codex is overwriting existing GitHub pull request titles and replacing them with:

“Codex-generated pull request #XXX”

What steps can reproduce the bug?

A pull request is created with a custom title

After Codex interaction, the title is overwritten

The new title becomes: “Codex-generated pull request #XXX”

What is the expected behavior?

Codex should preserve user-defined PR titles

It should not overwrite titles unless explicitly instructed
