Numbered lists with sub-bullets aren't sequentially numbered

What version of Codex is running?

What subscription do you have?

Pro

Which model were you using?

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 24.5.0 arm64 arm

What issue are you seeing?

I often see Codex output lists of information. It seems the parser (markdown, perhaps?) resets the numbering of the bulleted list when there's sub-items.

Notice all the 1. …:

What steps can reproduce the bug?

🤷‍♂️

You'll have to find some prompt that results in this output format.

What is the expected behavior?

  1. sequential
  • sub 1
  • sub 2
  1. numbering
  2. works
