Codex doctor report

Codex CLI 0.150.1 generated Portuguese /resume titles despite English prompts and English local settings.

  Local settings:
  LANG=en_IE.UTF-8
  AppleLanguages=("en-IE")

  Examples:
  01a042c6-cb00-76a1-a05d-a1ff6698b7f5 -> "Rever falha do build E2E"
  01a0446e-6985-70c2-b48e-9625fe8c0780 -> "Rever alterações de código"

  Expected:
  Generated session titles should use the prompt/conversation language or explicit app language preference.
  They should not infer language from country/IP/timezone.

What issue are you seeing?

It seems like codex is using my location to decide the language, not only that is an invasion of privacy, it's also not really smart, a person currently being in a specific country doesn't mean that person speaks that country's official language.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

use codex from a country that has an official language than the one you use.

What is the expected behavior?

codex doesn't track my location and doesn't try to guess the language to use from is.
