When using codex with `--search` _/review_ should gain `--search` too

Resolved 💬 1 comment Opened Dec 17, 2025 by guidedways Closed Mar 14, 2026

What version of Codex is running?

0.74.0-alpha.1

What subscription do you have?

Pro

Which model were you using?

GPT 5.2 high

What platform is your computer?

macOS

What issue are you seeing?

I use codex --search to enable web searches / network access. When running /review and passing in a custom prompt such as the following, the review sub-task is unable to access and obtain the pull request:

Review changes in PR https://github.com/XYZ/pull/362

The sub-task should inherit the same options such as --search because without this it complains it has no access to the PR and aborts. I even tried asking it to use gh but it didn't work.

The only solution was to ask the existing codex session to perform a review, which it then did successfully.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

  1. Use codex --search
  2. Use /review' → custom, then Review changes in PR https://github.com/XYZ/pull/362`
  3. Review fails

What is the expected behavior?
