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 agree

This 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)

What steps can reproduce the bug?
