Research direction

Start with the apply_patch path and the Windows sandbox-wrapper behavior described in the report, comparing it with the successful direct PowerShell editing and CLI behavior. Reproduce the intermittent failure if possible; done means apply_patch can create and then update files reliably in the official and beta apps.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

app bug sandbox tool-calls windows-os
What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

26.715.31251

What subscription do you have?

Pro

What platform is your computer?

No response

What issue are you seeing?

Keep getting this it happens when i ask it to test out every command because ill be making edits and it will bug out and tell me apply_patch failed asked 5.6 to run a test:

Sandbox CRUD smoke test results:

Create directory: passed
Create file: passed
Read file: passed
Edit via PowerShell: passed
Delete file: passed
Delete directory: passed
Cleanup verification: passed; no test artifacts remain

One issue: apply_patch created the file successfully but failed when updating it due to a Windows sandbox-wrapper error. Direct sandboxed PowerShell editing worked normally.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

No idea its so random sometimes if i restart my computer (rarely) it will reactivate and work for a bit then break again.

What is the expected behavior?

No issues with apply_patch

Additional information

I've tried with both the official version/beta version both have the same issue if i use the CLI i have no issues at all i mainly use t3code to use my subscription right now and its kinda frustrating that the official tools aren't working
