What version of Codex is running?

0.22.0

Which model were you using?

What platform is your computer?

_No response_

What steps can reproduce the bug?

I'm running Codex in a NextJS project where some folders use brackets in their names in order to support some organizing features and dynamic paths.

Here is what I get when Codex need to access a file in one of those folders using sed:

<img width="636" height="106" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5ffaed87-3cd5-4447-8338-34cdd3c8bd4d" />

I expect this to happen with other special characters too, but I didn't catch it yet.

What is the expected behavior?

It should be able to use the correct syntax no matter the path.

What do you see instead?

The command fails.
