Same for me on macos (desktop app)
Same here. It only started after recent update.

same here so annoying
same here!
same thing
Same problem. I revoked all privileges on my Mac running Sequoia and then reenable them all and no change was observed. Now I have to monitor everything I'm doing constantly. I keep moving forward. Hopefully there's a fix soon.
might be fixed? not seeing the issue in Version 26.616.51431 • Released Jun 20, 2026
Hi Jason,
Thanks for the response. I was just about to put the following up.
The path to this on MacOS is: ~/.codex/config.toml
Put 1 of these 2 options at the top of the settings page.
approval_policy = "never"
sandbox_mode = "workspace-write"
or
approval_policy = "never"
sandbox_mode = "danger-full-access"
I used the 2nd one and the problem went away, or maybe the update I did was the difference. Now that you
said yours was fixed I am not positive which one did the trick.
