The Neverending Python INDENTATION Issues

latest

pro

Which model were you using?

gpt-5.5

What platform is your computer?

macos

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

terminal.app

Codex doctor report

What issue are you seeing?

every time apply_patch is used and a deeply indented code or space indented code is patched, AT LEAST 50% of the time codex applies an extra indent, then checks content to realise it overindented.

After 2 years, this is still happening so often.

I doubt that the issue is overestimation, there seems to be an issue with apply_patch that when it's space indented it just confuses the depth level.

40-50% failure rate is frustrating.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

refactor any 2+ level indented python code

What is the expected behavior?
