Codex CLI commit log with "\n" in the message

Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Sep 3, 2025 by doggy8088 Closed Sep 3, 2025

What version of Codex is running?

codex-cli 0.28.0

Which model were you using?

gpt-5

What platform is your computer?

Linux 6.6.87.2-microsoft-standard-WSL2 x86_64 x86_64

What steps can reproduce the bug?

  1. Write some code
  2. Enter this prompt: git commit with detailed log using zh-tw

What is the expected behavior?

I expected the newline to be rendered correctly.

What do you see instead?

The result:

<img width="1869" height="640" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/55ae3789-a587-4158-a41e-1ff0d41e29eb" />

The "\n" is wrong.

Additional information

I have to rewrite the prompt like this:

rewrite your log. The newline must be REAL newline. amend it.

I believe this requirement is common. Instructions for how to perform a Git commit should be included in the default system prompt.
