}What issue are you seeing?
While Codex was performing a multi-step Google Cloud integration task, I sent the following message:
작업 내용 간단하게 보고해.
English translation:
Briefly report the work status.
Codex displayed a brief status report, but it did not return control to me or wait for another instruction. It prioritized the previously ongoing task over my latest message and immediately executed a new external state-changing command:
gcloud run services update preadsense `
--project preadsense `
--region us-central1 `
--update-env-vars ADSENSE_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=<redacted>,ADSENSE_OAUTH_REDIRECT_URI=https://adprepare.com/api/adsense/callback `
--update-secrets ADSENSE_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=adsense-oauth-client-secret:latest,ADSENSE_TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY=adsense-token-encryption-key:2 `
--quiet
### What steps can reproduce the bug?
실행 명령과 중단 경고는 실제 보고서 내용과 일치합니다. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
## 6. 이 버그를 재현하는 방법은 무엇입니까?
화면 아래에 해당 입력란이 있다면 다음을 넣으세요.
```markdown
1. Open Codex CLI in the Cursor integrated terminal on Windows.
2. Ask Codex to perform a multi-step task involving Google Secret Manager and Cloud Run.
3. While Codex is working, send:
`작업 내용 간단하게 보고해.`
4. Observe that Codex prints a brief status report.
5. Do not send another message.
6. Observe that Codex immediately executes another external state-changing command instead of returning control to the user.
7. Interrupt the command while it is running.
8. Observe that Codex does not proactively report that the interrupted operation may have been partially applied.
### What is the expected behavior?
_No response_
### Additional information
Codex should distinguish between an assistant-generated progress update and a user-initiated request for a status report.
When the user interrupts an ongoing workflow to request the current status, Codex should return control before issuing another tool call, especially when the next operation modifies cloud infrastructure, secrets, deployments, production configuration, or Git repositories.
Interrupted external commands should be treated as having an unknown or potentially partially applied result until their state is explicitly verified.
Impact:
The latest user instruction was effectively overridden by the previous task.
Codex failed to return control after a user-initiated status request.
An external infrastructure mutation was attempted without another user message.
The interrupted operation left the Cloud Run configuration uncertain.
The uncertain state was not proactively surfaced.
Codex did not clearly state that it would stop further execution pending user approval.
This can cause unintended infrastructure changes and makes it difficult for users to reliably pause or redirect an ongoing task.
