Description

26.901.41600
What subscription do you have?
x20 Pro plan
What platform is your computer?
Darwin 25.6.0 arm64 arm
What issue are you seeing?
When Codex/Astra asks a clarification question during normal work outside Plan mode, hovering over the corresponding marker in the conversation timeline displays an internal question-reply tag and structured data.
The hover preview starts with:
<send_user_message_question_reply>
Model used: GPT-6 Astra High
What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Have a conversation where Codex asks a clarification question outside Plan mode.
- Answer the question.
- Hover over the corresponding question/reply marker in the conversation timeline.
- Observe the raw tag in the preview.
What is the expected behavior?
Show a readable preview of the question or my response, without internal tags or serialized data
