Description

What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

26.903.61454

What subscription do you have?

Pro x20

What platform is your computer?

Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.26200.0 x64

What issue are you seeing?

On Windows, automatic approval review repeatedly rejects a non-force Git push even after I explicitly approve it directly in the task performing the operation.

The agent asks for approval, but after I reply “承認するよ” (“I approve”), the operation is rejected again because direct user authorization is allegedly missing.

A status report to another Codex task is also rejected. This creates an approval loop with no actionable resolution.

The push was never executed, and the repository remained unchanged.

  1. Ask Codex to perform a non-force push of a specific local commit.
  2. Codex requests explicit approval.
  3. Reply directly in the same task: “承認するよ” (“I approve”).
  4. Automatic approval review rejects the operation again.
  5. Repeat approval; the same rejection occurs.

Expected: Explicit approval is recognized, or a concrete unmet requirement is explained.
Actual: Codex repeatedly requests approval that the review does not recognize.

Research direction

Start with the listed reproduction steps for a non-force Git push on Windows and use Feedback ID 01a08a3c-930f-7920-87f6-508492341d61 to inspect the automatic approval review and direct-task authorization flow. Done means an explicit approval is accepted once, or the review reports a concrete unmet requirement instead of repeating the approval request.
