Codex /review command fails on WSL in version 0.55.0

Resolved 💬 4 comments Opened Nov 6, 2025 by eschulma Closed Nov 10, 2025

What version of Codex is running?

codex-cli 0.55.0

What subscription do you have?

Pro

Which model were you using?

gpt5-codex-high

What platform is your computer?

Linux 5.15.153.1-microsoft-standard-WSL2 x86_64 x86_64

What issue are you seeing?

When I run the /review command, the process exits immediately back to the cli -- I'm still in codex but no review done. When I call the agent's attention to this, it tells me to run it again and wait until it finishes. Having been through this loop a few times, with new terminal windows etc. it now realizes that there is a problem. To the extent I could debug this, it seems to exit as soon as git status is called.

NOTE: reverting to 0.53.0 fixes the issue. But when I go to 0.55.0, the same bug reappears.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Install version 0.55.0 and ask it to review uncommitted changes, in a branch that does have uncommitted changes.

What is the expected behavior?

I expect the /review to look at the uncommitted changes and produce commentary on it. I also expect it to take a non-trivial amount of time for significant change.

Additional information

This only seems to manifest in 0.55.0, 0.53.0 seems fine (I skipped 0.54.0 as that was apparently buggy).
