"command failed; retry without sandbox" for every command in Codex CLI

What issue are you seeing?

Ever since codex version 0.115.0, it seems like nearly every command I run that makes a file edit fails and needs to be tried again. Upon retrying without the sandbox, it works. However, having to retry most commands is disruptive to the general workflow as it prevents the agent from doing work of any reasonable length autonomously.

The last version of codex I observed working without this issue was 0.114.0, but I'm under the impression that I will no longer be able to use this (forced deprecation) by May 8, which will be an issue for me.
