Code review formatting outside of code review mode

What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

26.325.31654 (1272)

What subscription do you have?

Pro

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 25.3.0 arm64 arm

What issue are you seeing?

Native code review mode in Codex app is not flexible enough so I'm using a custom code review skill. It seems like when I'm using this skill gpt thinks that I'm using native code review mode, so it outputs ::code-comments like this:

::code-comment{title="[P1] some issue", body="description", file="/some/file.txt", start=200, end=201, priority=1, confidence=0.98}

Since I'm not actually using native code review mode this is rendered as plain text instead of code review issue UI block. This makes it hard to read. I would suggest

  • preferably always rendering ::code-comment blocks
  • or not including instructions to use ::code-comment format when native code review mode is not enabled

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Use custom code review skill instead of native code review mode. It looks like a very simple skill that just says "make a code review" is enough to reproduce this

What is the expected behavior?

Either ::code-comment blocks rendered correctly or gpt not using ::code-comment syntax in the response
