plan-mode-prompt appears broken in codex-cli 0.118.0.

With:

[tui]
notifications = ["user-input-requested", "plan-mode-prompt"]
notification_method = "osc9"

user-input-requested notifications fire correctly, but plan-mode-prompt does not fire when Codex enters the plan-mode clarification questionnaire and waits for input.

Root Cause

plan-mode-prompt appears broken in codex-cli 0.118.0.

With:

[tui]
notifications = ["user-input-requested", "plan-mode-prompt"]
notification_method = "osc9"

user-input-requested notifications fire correctly, but plan-mode-prompt does not fire when Codex enters the plan-mode clarification questionnaire and waits for input.

PR fix notes

PR #17417: Emit plan-mode prompt notifications for questionnaires

Description (problem / solution / changelog)

Addresses #17252

Problem: Plan-mode clarification questionnaires used the generic user-input notification type, so configs listening for plan-mode-prompt did not fire when request_user_input waited for an answer.

Solution: Map request_user_input prompts to the plan-mode-prompt notification and remove the obsolete user-input TUI notification variant.

Summary

plan-mode-prompt appears broken in codex-cli 0.118.0.

With:

[tui]
notifications = ["user-input-requested", "plan-mode-prompt"]
notification_method = "osc9"

user-input-requested notifications fire correctly, but plan-mode-prompt does not fire when Codex enters the plan-mode clarification questionnaire and waits for input.

Repro

Control case that works:

codex

Prompt:

Before continuing, ask me to choose exactly one option for project priority:
1. speed
2. correctness
3. maintainability
Do not proceed until I answer.

Observed: desktop notification appears while Codex is waiting.

Failing case:

codex

Prompt:

You are in plan mode. Do not implement anything. Ask me 2-3 clarifying questions before proposing a plan for reorganizing my dotfiles and shell setup.

Observed:

  • Codex enters plan mode
  • renders the Question 1/3 questionnaire UI
  • waits for input
  • no desktop notification appears

Also reproduced with:

codex --no-alt-screen

Environment

  • codex-cli 0.118.0
  • macOS
  • reproduced in Ghostty, iTerm2, and Terminal.app

Expected

When Codex is waiting for input in the plan-mode questionnaire flow, plan-mode-prompt should fire a TUI notification.

Notes

PR #13495 says it added plan-mode-prompt and manually tested plan mode. In my testing, the notification pipeline works for user-input-requested, but not for this plan-mode flow. That suggests either:

  • a regression, or
  • plan-mode-prompt is not emitted for the Question 1/3 questionnaire path

extent analysis

TL;DR

The plan-mode-prompt notification may not be firing due to a regression or incorrect emission for the Question 1/3 questionnaire path, and verifying the notification pipeline for this specific flow is necessary.

Guidance

  • Review the code changes introduced in PR #13495 to ensure plan-mode-prompt is correctly emitted for the plan-mode questionnaire flow.
  • Verify that the plan-mode-prompt notification is being sent to the notification pipeline when Codex is waiting for input in the plan-mode questionnaire.
  • Check the documentation for codex-cli to see if there are any specific requirements or configurations needed for plan-mode-prompt to work correctly.
  • Test the plan-mode-prompt notification with different questionnaire flows to determine if the issue is specific to the Question 1/3 path.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not contain sufficient information to create a minimal example.

Notes

The issue may be specific to the codex-cli 0.118.0 version, and testing with other versions may help determine if it's a regression. Additionally, the notification pipeline working for user-input-requested suggests that the issue may be specific to the plan-mode-prompt emission.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Verify the plan-mode-prompt emission and notification pipeline for the plan-mode questionnaire flow, as the issue may be due to a regression or incorrect configuration.
