What issue are you seeing?
I asked Codex to improved the code quality and a bug. It automatically start writing the tests for verification and ran it.
I was working on Laravel 12 application.
It used (\Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\RefreshDatabase::class) in a test file which removed all rows from every table.
This is very destructive behavior.
What steps can reproduce the bug?

What is the expected behavior?
Codex should always ask before writing/running the tests.
