What version of Codex CLI is running?

latest v0.128.0

What subscription do you have?

pro $200

Which model were you using?

gpt-5.5 xhigh fast

What platform is your computer?

Linux 6.19.11-200.fc43.x86_64 x86_64 unknown

What terminal emulator and version are you using (if applicable)?

foot codex cli

What issue are you seeing?

unable to give it a goal unless i manually type the entire goal instead of parsing it.
i would like to render the prompt (read expected behavior) and parse that to codex but /goal is not considered and instead is parsed as plain text.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Uploaded thread: 019de6fd-daf7-78e1-ac9d-7dc191fa61ee

What is the expected behavior?

ideally i can create the goal from a renderer that parses a few placeholders (https://pastes.dev/IenvRstg3o uses this as template https://pastes.dev/53xdd3IzkO . as you can see it contains /goal at the start so i can parse this into a codex session)
