What issue are you seeing?

The model hallucinates a function (renderAssetsView()) that doesn't exist in the file it said it was in; even across the entire repository as well.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Uploaded thread: 01a042a9-1d29-7df3-9c9a-76a0817ba1be

What is the expected behavior?

To actually check the repository and not hallucinate missing functions.

Additional information

No response

The report provides environment and Codex CLI 0.150.1 diagnostics but names no source file, test, or reproduction prompt. Start by reproducing the hallucinated-function behavior in the reported CLI setup and trace the relevant request flow. The payload does not define the expected behavior or a concrete acceptance condition.
