What issue are you seeing?
Codex experienced severe latency and failed to analyze a simple Docker log error (curl: (7) Failed to connect...). After the user initiated a major context change (migrating the entire project to a Docker microservices architecture), Codex seems to have lost the current project context, leading to a non-response/hallucination state.
The specific error Codex was asked to analyze was a network error within the new Docker stack (Failed to connect to connect port 8083), which should have been easily traceable using the previously provided docker-compose.yml and port map.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Uploaded thread: 019aadf4-18ca-7b93-b4d7-760415989c1d
User provided the full project configuration, including the new docker-compose.yml and a new host port map (40110:3306, 40125:8083, etc.) following a successful microservices migration.
The user then provided the log output for the new connector initialization service (docker compose logs connector_init).
The user's query to Codex was to analyze the error: curl: (7) Failed to connect to connect port 8083 after 0 ms: Couldn't connect to server.
Expected result: Quick diagnosis of the internal Docker network or service readiness issue, based on the known configuration.
Actual result: Severe latency (taking too long to process) followed by a non-contextual, unhelpful response, leading to the "Conversation interrupted" status.
What is the expected behavior?
smartdeveloper@smartdeveloper-iMac12-1:~/lost-persons-monitor$ docker compose logs connector_init
WARN[0000] /home/smartdeveloper/lost-persons-monitor/docker-compose.yml: the attribute version is obsolete, it will be ignored, please remove it to avoid potential confusion
