What issue are you seeing?
When using the Codex CLI, the output enters an apparent infinite loop where it continuously prints a repeated phrase like:
yes agree
yes agree
yes agree
yes agree
yes agree
yes agreeThis continues indefinitely without termination or user interaction.
Expected Behavior
The CLI should:
- Return a finite response
- Stop after completing the task
- Not enter a repetitive output loop
Actual Behavior
- Output becomes a continuous stream of repeated text
- Process does not terminate on its own
- Requires manual interruption (Ctrl+C)
