The same thing happened to me on my Codex Web after I edited the code via chat. The last changes made on Codex Web are only referred to generate PR title and description when I click the 'Create PR' button 🫤

I can reproduce a similar issue.

Workflow:

Ask Codex to refactor several files for a feature.
After that work is done, ask Codex to make a small documentation update.
Click the Codex PR creation action.
The generated PR title and description only mention the documentation update, even though the branch also contains the earlier refactor.

Expected:
The PR title and description should be generated from the full branch diff against the base branch, not from only the last user message or most recent Codex change.

Actual:
The PR title/description summarize only the final docs follow-up, which makes the PR misleading.

This also affects commit naming when the commit includes the full accumulated diff but the generated title only reflects the last change.
