The link is split across bug- and report. Pasting this link won't work without hand-tweaking it. This is a bummer for you guys!

I checked this on current main instead of assuming the historical report still matched the live code.

Repro

  • The original issue body shows a broken URL built around template=2-bug-report.yml that wrapped as 2-bug- / report.yml.
  • On current main, the external bug-report path now uses https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/new?template=3-cli.yml.
  • I could not reproduce the historical broken-link state from the current code path.

Current Main Verdict

  • The exact helper that builds the external bug URL already returns the full 3-cli.yml URL in both TUI surfaces.
  • That suggests this issue is already fixed upstream rather than needing another patch today.

Validation

  • CARGO_TARGET_DIR=/tmp/codex-target-7011 cargo test -p codex-tui issue_url_available_for_bug_bad_result_safety_check_and_other -- --nocapture
  • CARGO_TARGET_DIR=/tmp/codex-target-7011 cargo test -p codex-tui-app-server issue_url_available_for_bug_bad_result_safety_check_and_other -- --nocapture

Risk

  • Low confidence that a fresh code change would help here, because the current helper/test contract already covers the broken-link scenario described in the issue.
  • If someone can still reproduce this on a recent build, the next useful artifact would be a fresh screenshot or exact terminal output from that newer path.
