What is the type of issue?
Documentation missing, maybe
What is the issue?
I see mentioned in the repo that the -i or --image flags can be used such as codex --image "<path_to_image>" to provide an image as input, which works.
However, there doesn't seem to be a documented syntax for adding images in the interactive repl mode, i.e. just codex. I'm not sure if this feature even exists; if so, it could stand to be better documented.
Where did you find it?
I did not see this documented on Github, or in OpenAI's docs here.

I did a pr for this here https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/189 and it has been merged into main, waiting on npm being updated I guess...
Thank you for the feedback! Please try using the latest version of Codex CLI to see if this issue persists. If it does, we would appreciate any further details you can provide.
