Codex Bug

Overview

Diagnose a Codex GitHub bug report and decide the next action: verify against sources, request more info, or explain why it is not a bug.

Workflow

1. Confirm the input

• Require a GitHub issue URL that points to github.com/openai/codex/issues/….
• If the URL is missing or not in the right repo, ask the user for the correct link.

2. Network access

• Always access the issue over the network immediately, even if you think access is blocked or unavailable.
• Prefer the GitHub API over HTML pages because the HTML is noisy:
  • Issue: https://api.github.com/repos/openai/codex/issues/<number>
  • Comments: https://api.github.com/repos/openai/codex/issues/<number>/comments
• If the environment requires explicit approval, request it on demand via the tool and continue without additional user prompting.
• Only if the network attempt fails after requesting approval, explain what you can do offline (e.g., draft a response template) and ask how to proceed.
