Research direction

Start by reviewing the uploaded thread 019ee389-bdde-7701-a6a9-f6d96edeaf67 alongside the reported Codex CLI version and model details. Reproduce the misleading responses and determine a concrete, repeatable failure condition; done means the documented behavior and the model's response no longer require an explicit request to reread the source.
