What version of Codex is running?

0.42.0

Which model were you using?

_No response_

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 24.6.0 arm64 arm

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Open Codex CLI with any xterm based terminals that have WebLinksAddon enabled.
Use Authenticate with OpenAI account
Authentication link will be generated, but only the first line will be recognized as Link.

What is the expected behavior?

The URL should be clickable or automatically be opened by xterm, but since codex breaks the link, xterm is not capable of recognizing the entire link. The link should be generated as a single line.

What do you see instead?

The Link is partially recognized in xterm terminals.
