What issue are you seeing?

Codex tried initialising a project from a provided implementation plan, including installing Next.js and Payload via bunx. Installing Payload will spawn a TUI for selecting a database backend. Codex will hang at this step, time out and try again, instead of selecting something. At some point it gives up and tries to proceed with other steps. Accumulating errors will lead to it randomly bootstrapping the project from source files, instead of installing the packages.
Later in the process it tried building from this mess over and over again, which always hung.
Burned through most of my tokens and did not deliver anything useable.
