What version of Codex is running?

0.61

What subscription do you have?

Business

Which model were you using?

gpt-5-codex-max

What platform is your computer?

Linux 6.17.8-cachyos1.lto.fc42.x86_64 x86_64 unknown

What issue are you seeing?

On version 0.58:
/review command starts the review as expected

On version 0.61 (actually even in 0.59):
/review command always results in "git command timed out"

What steps can reproduce the bug?

  1. start codex
  2. /review
  3. choose PR style, then base branch

codex tries to run "cd proj-dir && git status -sb" which should be instantaneous but it results in "command timed out"
then it tries something else, but the result is the same "command timed out"

What is the expected behavior?

/review works normally with no "command timed out" errors

@alexeiz I suspect you have pyenv installed in your environment. The latest version 2.6.16 has a compatibility fix to work with codex's sandbox mode. Update it to the latest version using pyenv update. See the following issue for more information:

@vlasky thanks for a workaround. The primary issue though is that codex executes system commands with "zsh -l". While it may work on macOS, it's a bad idea on Linux.
