What version of Codex is running?

codex-cli 0.25.0

Which model were you using?

gpt-5

What platform is your computer?

Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.26100.0 x64

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Codex CLI is still unusable for me on Windows, even though the model is excellent. I hoped it would be fixed in version 0.25.0, but unfortunately it was not.

Here are the problems:

  • Pasting images into the command line does not work
  • The apply_patch safety gate cannot be disabled, every file change asks for confirmation
  • Copying Windows paths does not work, backslashes get stripped

Without fixes for these three, I cannot use Codex on Windows in a professional setting. Please assign a higher priority to this.
