The command sandbox keeps prompting for approval on equivalent follow-up commands, even after permission was already granted.

0.33
What subscription do you have?
Plus
What platform is your computer?
Windows 11
What issue are you seeing?
“Please fix the command sandbox approval flow properly. Users should not be prompted repeatedly for equivalent
approved commands, especially after they already granted permission. The current behavior breaks momentum and makes
Codex feel unreliable. This needs a real engineering fix, not a workaround.”
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Example:
- User approves Bash/RTK shell usage.
- Subsequent similar commands still trigger more approval prompts.
- This makes normal repo work very disruptive.
What is the expected behavior?
Expected:
Once a user grants approval for a reasonable command prefix/session scope, equivalent commands should run without repeated prompts.
Additional information
Impact:
Breaks coding flow and makes Codex difficult to use for local development.
