tui onboarding: warn when trusting git subdirectories
Resolved 💬 5 comments Opened Apr 18, 2026 by joycebeatriz Closed Apr 20, 2026
Summary
When a user runs Codex from a subdirectory within a Git repository and chooses to trust the directory, it's unclear that the trust decision applies to the repository root, not just the current directory.
Proposal
Add a yellow warning message in the TUI onboarding screen that clarifies when the user is in a Git subdirectory, showing which directory will actually be trusted.
Implementation
The fix has been implemented and tested at: https://github.com/joycebeatriz/codex/pull/1
- Added conditional warning message when
cwd != trust_target - Updated snapshot tests
- Included Contributor Covenant v3.0 adoption
