Codex doctor report
What issue are you seeing?
I don’t have git on PATH in this shell, and C:\Users\sayaghos itself doesn’t appear to be a normal repo root. I’m going to locate likely project directories and inspect their metadata directly.
What steps can reproduce the bug?

Research direction
Start by reproducing Codex CLI 0.152.1 on Windows from a shell where git is not on PATH, using C:\Users\sayaghos as the starting directory and the uploaded thread as context. Trace how the CLI locates project directories and repository metadata; done means the failure is characterized and the expected repository location behavior is verified.
