What issue are you seeing?
Using /copy always copies the latest sent message in a conversation, even when the Codex CLI has been rewound to an earlier state by using Esc and selecting an earlier message. This also means it's not possible to /copy an earlier message without re-generating it, since rewinding now requires sending a new message before I can copy from that branch again.
