Research direction
Reproduce the behavior in a new Codex CLI session by asking Astra to edit a file, then compare its use of Python scripts with the expected apply_patch tool. Done means the model consistently chooses apply_patch for file edits in the reported codex-cli 0.153.4 scenario, including the Rust project context.
