Issue: /copy fails even after successful model output

Environment:

  • Codex CLI version: 0.116.0
  • OS: Ubuntu (remote)
  • Access method: SSH into remote machine
  • Terminal: (fill in if known, e.g. bash / zsh / tmux)

Reproduction steps:

  1. Start a fresh Codex CLI session
  2. Enter a simple prompt: hi
  3. Wait until the model output fully completes and CLI is idle
  4. Run /copy

Expected behavior:

  • /copy should copy the latest completed model output

Actual behavior:

  • Error message:

/copy is unavailable before the first Codex output or right after a rollback

Notes:

  • The model output is clearly visible and completed before running /copy
  • No rollback or undo actions were performed
  • This worked correctly in earlier Codex CLI versions (regression)
  • Issue is reproducible consistently

Additional context:

  • Running entirely in a remote SSH session (no local GUI clipboard)
  • Unsure if related to TUI state sync or SSH environment handling
