TL;DR

Disable the bell feature in the terminal or screen settings to prevent beeping.

Guidance

  • Check the screen configuration to see if the bell is enabled and disable it if necessary.
  • Verify that the beeping is coming from the screen or terminal and not from the Codex CLI itself.
  • Look into terminal settings or configuration files (e.g., ~/.screenrc) to disable the bell permanently.
  • Test the codex command outside of screen to see if the beeping persists.

Notes

The beeping issue seems to be related to the terminal or screen settings rather than the Codex CLI itself. Disabling the bell feature should resolve the issue.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Disable the bell feature in the terminal or screen settings, as it is a simple and non-intrusive solution that can resolve the issue without affecting the functionality of the Codex CLI.
