What issue are you seeing?

While Codex is executing a task, once it starts modifying files, the file-change indicator can render on top of the task-progress badge. The two status elements overlap and become partially clipped/unreadable. The attached screenshot shows the progress text and change count colliding inside the same area.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

  1. Start a multi-step task in the Codex App.
  2. Let the agent progress until it begins modifying files.
  3. Observe the task status/progress area while file changes are being reported.
  4. The file-change indicator may overlap the task-progress badge.

What is the expected behavior?

Task progress and file-change status should remain visually separate, legible, and correctly aligned throughout task execution.

Additional information

Screenshot attached. No error message was shown; this appears to be a visual layout/rendering issue.
