What steps can reproduce the bug?
When editing it sometimes show the diff and sometimes only show the number of lines added.
Sometimes I see:
• Edited {filename} (+2 -2)
DIFF IS SHOWN HERE
In the example above it will show the diff.
Then we have the following as shown below, where it will not show the diff, instead it only shows the number of lines that has been edited:
$ apply_patch << 'PATCH'
* Begin Patch
* Update File: {filename}
│ … +17 lines
└ Success. Updated the following files: {filename}
DIFF IS NOT SHOWN HERE

I think this has been fixed in newer versions of codex, so I'm going to close. If you see this with the latest version, please let us know and I'll reopen.
Missing diff in summary still. Become worse after Codex-MAX!
Did you check that it actually made the edits? I haven't seen the missing diffs lately, but quite often when context is running low it will start hallucinating making the edits. It will say it's edited stuff, without actually editing anything and I have to restart in a new session.
