Dev flags Codex quietly adding instructions to deploy to OpenAI's cloud sandbox over existing methods
natesiggard · x · 2026-09-25
Developer natesiggard noticed that Codex appears to have added instructions for deploying to OpenAI's cloud sandbox at some point, and that this deployment path now takes priority over the deployment methods used in every other repo of his project. He questions when the change landed and why it overrides established workflows by default. No screenshot or repro is included — it's a pointed complaint about Codex's increasingly intrusive defaults.
