WIN/PS - Insists on using sh - assumes linux/mac - assumes chat wants to tool

Tried this in Powershell -- needs some TLC

I don't use powershell as my default except on Windows. I'm sure this would have been OK in linux/mac (I'll test those too). I happened to be on Windows this morning because I was gaming last night before bed.

1. Codex used my wsl installation to run commands (this is fine)
2. It failed at using it though.
3. It couldn't even figure out how to list the files using native Powershell and eventually used git ls-files (clever)

Shouldn't codex know what OS it's on and leverage the shell it is currently running from?

• dir, or such would have worked straight away
• because codex knew it was possible to try wsl it must have also known it was running on Windows?

After this, I simply asked "What is the difference between o4-mini and o3-mini"

1. It tried to treat these models as files by grepping for them.
2. It eventually got it right that these were models.

This seems odd, and I know this is new so wanted to report it.

I love that you're providing us a CLI! It just needs some TLC and context awareness.

I'd suggest some basic awareness if it's not already in place:

• OS
• Current shell / parent process
• Environment variables from the OS
• Introspection on available tooling (gnu, native windows, native mac, whatever, and any available package managers brew, choco, npm, etc.)
• Perhaps a deeper introspection could be run at first start and later re-run to refresh it or something, where shallow introspection could just look at the shell, env, etc. and refer to what was previously found? (just an idea)

Thanks OpenAI!
