@clearfram3, from the logs, it looks like you've defined a custom execution policy — that is, you've added a file under .codex/rules. If you remove that file, does the problem go away?

I suspect that you either have a bug in your exec policy rule or we have a bug in our exec policy engine. We recently introduced this feature in experimental form, so it's not yet considered a "stable" feature. If this is a bug in our engine, we'd like to fix it. Would you be willing to post the contents of your rule file?

Use Pycharm with AI Chat plugin. Unlike Visual Studio Code, Codex in PyCharm doesn't ask you for confirmations for simple commands.
