What issue are you seeing?

I had Codex write a new file parser for a new library we wrote earlier today. I then asked Codex to fuzz the library against bad inputs to make sure we were not going to crash or behave in bad ways (e.g. go OOM/allocate large buffers, etc)

When Codex potentially found an issue(?), it then redacted the reply and won't do any further work. I have attempted this three times now.

Fuzzing while it has dual purposes in security, is a very standard technique used for hardening input handlers and preventing them from becoming exploitable surfaces.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

What is the expected behavior?

It should fuzz the library, find the faults, then fix them.
