What issue are you seeing?

Codex will often replace modified code with old code from it's memory:

1. I ask Codex to modify some code.
2. I manually modify the code myself.
3. I ask Codex about the code again, and it reverts the code to something in its memory.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Uploaded thread: 019e5f94-4f53-7103-8b1a-ae13700eb989

1. Ask Codex to edit a file
2. Work on some other stuff
3. Edit the file yourself (without committing changes)
4. Ask Codex to edit the file again

What is the expected behavior?

I would like Codex to see my recent changes and not overwrite them (or at least not without asking me)
