Codex doctor report

What issue are you seeing?

The "Yes and don't ask again command" and "No, tell differently" are both mapped to hotkey 2 if there are 3 and 2 options. When approving multiple commands, it is easy to hit 2 resulting into "No, tell differently", even if I want to say "Yes".

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the command-approval flow described in the issue, using the uploaded thread 01a00158-63a7-74d3-aced-299c41ca5fe8 and Codex CLI 0.147.0. Trace how options are assigned numeric hotkeys when there are two or three choices. Done means the approval choices have distinct, predictable hotkeys and repeated command approvals no longer map both actions to 2.
