Error Message

After today's update of the Codex app, I consistently receive an "Oops, an error has occurred" message at the end of specific tasks. The assistant successfully completes the task (the file editing/writing itself works perfectly fine), but immediately after it finishes, a generic red "Oops, an error has occurred" message appears at the bottom right of the screen with "Check for updates" and "Try again" buttons.

  • The actual work (script modification) is done perfectly despite the error message showing up at the very end.
  • I have attached a screenshot showing the error state.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Open the Codex app.
  2. Ask the assistant to perform a task that involves modifying/editing files (e.g., editing scripts, .md files, or any other code writing).
  3. Wait for the generation to complete.

What is the expected behavior?

Expected Behavior: The task finishes smoothly, and the chat is ready for the next prompt without any errors.

Additional information

Additional Context:

  • This issue does not happen during "read-only" tasks (like reading audits, analyzing code without modifying it). It only triggers after modifications/edits.
  • The actual work (script modification) is done perfectly despite the error message showing up at the very end.
  • I have attached a screenshot showing the error state.
