Codex Daybreak false positive blocks legitimate embedded C++ review, session unrecoverable
roee-bachar · ghdev · 2026-11-09
GitHub issue openai/codex #60363 reports a legitimate long-running C++11 embedded STL-alternative review in the VS Code Codex extension getting blocked overnight by a Daybreak cybersecurity warning ("This content can't be shown"), apparently a false positive on ordinary engineering work. Worse, the session also hit a "Compaction interrupted" error: follow-up requests — even a read-only audit — never execute or recover, leaving the user unable to tell whether the original work completed. The reporter notes the causal link between the safety flag and the compaction failure is unknown; the issue carries labels including bug, context and safety-check.
