TL;DR

The issue may be resolved by investigating and fixing the "failed to apply patch" issue that causes the Codex CLI to get stuck in a doom-loop.

Guidance

  • Review the forked version of Codex CLI to ensure that no changes were made to the core functionality that could be causing the issue.
  • Investigate the "failed to apply patch" issue and determine the root cause of the problem, which may involve examining the uploaded thread (019d94bb-0ad4-7093-8506-ac17c23c4531) for more information.
  • Consider reaching out to the original Codex CLI maintainers or community for assistance, as the issue may be related to the core functionality that was not modified in the forked version.
  • Check the documentation and issues for the GPT-5.4 xhigh model to see if there are any known issues or workarounds related to patch application.

Notes

The fact that the issue only sometimes occurs and is related to a specific model (GPT-5.4 xhigh) suggests that the problem may be complex and require further investigation to resolve.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Given the uncertainty around the root cause of the issue, it may be necessary to implement a temporary workaround, such as retrying the patch application or skipping the problematic step, until a more permanent fix can be found.
