Handle filenames with $ better
Resolved 💬 1 comment Opened Aug 28, 2025 by lawrencecchen Closed Oct 28, 2025
What version of Codex is running?
codex-cli 0.25.0
Which model were you using?
gpt-5 model_reasoning_effort="high"
What platform is your computer?
Darwin 24.5.0 arm64 arm
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Make a filename that includes $ and see how codex opens it
<img width="517" height="124" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/477e6be0-7b93-420f-a829-b888487a303a" />
What is the expected behavior?
Ideally, the agent gets the path right on the first try by either wrapping the filename with quotes or escaping the dollar sign
What do you see instead?
Agent has to use tools to navigate directories and read files instead of just a single bash script.
