Codex CLI must respect Windows-style CRLF line endings

What feature would you like to see?

I run Codex CLI in WSL on Windows 10 PC. My source code uses windows CRLF line endings but Codex changes files to Unix-style LF causing huge diffs.

Here's a typical Codex CLI text output:

I'm noticing the patch changed the file's line endings from Windows-style CRLF to Unix-style LF, causing a huge diff. To keep the repo consistent, I need to revert the file and reapply changes while preserving CRLF endings, probably by tweaking the patch or using a script to maintain line endings.

It would be nice if Code CLI could edit text with Windows-style CRLF from the start without correcting itself later.

Are you interested in implementing this feature?
