Description
Summary
When a user explicitly tells Codex to commit and push, Auto-review still pauses the task and asks for confirmation before pushing to the resolved branch.
This confirmation is redundant and should be removed for ordinary non-force pushes.
Problem
There are two issues with the current behavior:
-
commit and pushis already explicit authorizationThe user has directly instructed Codex to push the commit. Resolving that instruction into
git push origin <branch>should not require a second confirmation for the same action. -
A normal push is recoverable
A non-force push does not rewrite or delete existing remote history. If the pushed change is wrong, it can be undone with a revert or a follow-up commit. It should therefore be treated as a routine Git operation, not as a destructive action requiring Auto-review.
Steps to reproduce
- Ask Codex to
commit and push. - Codex creates the commit.
- Codex attempts to push it to the current branch.
- Auto-review pauses and asks the user to confirm the push.
Expected behavior
After an explicit commit and push instruction, Codex should be allowed to perform a normal push to the current branch without additional confirmation.
Auto-review should only intervene when the push is actually destructive, such as a force push, history rewrite, or remote ref deletion.
Why this matters
commit and push is one of the most common development workflows. Requiring repeated confirmation for an action the user has already explicitly authorized adds friction and prevents Codex from completing routine tasks autonomously.

First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start by tracing the Auto-review handling for the commit and push workflow and reproduce the confirmation before a normal push. Done means an explicit request can perform a non-force push to the current branch without another confirmation, while force pushes, history rewrites, and remote ref deletions still trigger review.
