Code review stops after finding only a few issues, requiring repeated reviews

What version of Codex is running?

codex-cli 0.44.0

Which model were you using?

GPT-5-Codex

What platform is your computer?

Linux 6.6.87.2-microsoft-standard-WSL2 x86_64 unknown

What steps can reproduce the bug?

When running the review feature on Codex, the reviewer only reports 1 to 3 issues before stopping. It does not go through the whole codebase diffs to report all errors at once. As a result, a user have to repeatedly trigger the review, which wastes a lot of tokens and time. I would prefer if the reviewer could report all problems in one go, so I could fix them without multiple review cycles.

What is the expected behavior?

The reviewer should scan the entire codebase and report all errors/issues in a single review session.

What do you see instead?

The reviewer stops after finding just a few issues, requiring me to keep hitting review again and again. This leads to unnecessary token usage and delays.

Additional information

This behavior makes it inefficient to fix all problems quickly. The tool should surface all of them at once.
