Codex doctor report

What issue are you seeing?

In my machine, there is a memory for the models to output web links as full urls, not as md formatted links, because in a terminal those aren't clickable and are just displayed as underlined, different color strings. When i asked the agent about why did not follow this memory, it told me:

  In this session, the rule was actually present in the injected MEMORY_SUMMARY, so it was read. I did not miss it. I failed to apply it because I followed the web tool’s generic Markdown-citation instruction instead of the CLI-specific raw-URL instruction.

This has happened with different models, different times. ASTRA 6, GpT-5,6

No response

Start by reproducing the behavior described in the uploaded thread and inspect how Codex CLI assembles and applies system instructions for terminal responses. Done means links that are not clickable in the terminal are consistently emitted as full URLs rather than Markdown-formatted links.
