What issue are you seeing?
Codex made 2 commits
They are not reflected in the UI nor in github branch, they are local to codex VM
UI does not show the changes nor suggests to update/recreate PR
What steps can reproduce the bug?
I created a PR at some point and requested additional changes, then I stopped one of the runs after it made a commit when I asked for a read-only answer, after it the changes stopped appearing
It also happened again in different session
It completely lost changes it made in that session at some point
What is the expected behavior?
UI should reflect changes
UI should suggest to sync
Codex should be able to push to its own branch on github
Additional information
it says that its at 'work' branch

Not sure if same bug cause or separate bug, but after I pressed "create PR", it pushed all changes with a single latest commit:

This not only loses commit history but makes text in the commit not reflecting all changes made.
