extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue with changing the git branch prefix not working as expected may be related to a configuration or caching issue within the Codex App.

Guidance

  • Review the Codex App's configuration settings to ensure that the git branch prefix is correctly set and saved.
  • Check if there are any caching mechanisms in place that might be causing the reset to "codex/" when clicking off the branch prefix field.
  • Investigate the provided reproduction steps in the attached asset to understand the exact sequence of actions leading to the issue.
  • Consider resetting the Codex App's settings to their default values or clearing any relevant cache to see if the issue persists.

Notes

The issue has persisted across updates, suggesting it might not be version-specific, but rather a configuration or usage issue.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Try resetting the Codex App's settings or clearing the cache to see if the issue resolves, as the root cause is unclear without further information.
