What version of the IDE extension are you using?
26.415.20818
What subscription do you have?
Pro
Which IDE are you using?
VS Code
What platform is your computer?
Windows + WSL
What issue are you seeing?
Codex is not able to read the currently open file anymore. This worked yesterday still. It now has to guess which file, do workspace search by keyword etc instead of being able to refer to the currently open file as it could before.
I gotta say im getting majorly pissed off with these constant regressions and clunky changes.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
STart a chat with a file open and see it wont know which file you are talking about when you reference the open file.
What is the expected behavior?
