codex之前还用的好好的，可以自动写脚本，可以操控终端；但是今天codex只能像chatbox一样只能回复不能实际执行脚本，要不然就是执行一半不执行了。

Codex was working fine before. It could automatically write scripts and control the terminal. But today, Codex can only respond like a chat box and cannot actually execute scripts. Otherwise, it starts executing but stops halfway through.
