Hi! I’m seeing a permission-confirmation issue with Zed Agent threads using Codex-Cli on Windows 11 (no WSL).
When I run the agent in Read Only mode and it asks for a tool-call permission, clicking Yes or Always seems to do nothing. The agent keeps waiting forever (spinner keeps spinning), and there’s no timeout or error.
This worked fine until around end of last week. There were several Zed updates recently, and Codex was also updated in between.
Environment
- Zed version: v0.223.5
- OS: Windows 11
- Setup: native Windows (no WSL)
- Context: Agent threads using Codex CLI
Steps to reproduce
- Open an Agent thread in Zed.
- Use Read Only mode.
- Give a more complex task that triggers a tool-call permission prompt.
- Click Yes or Always on the permission dialog.
- Observe that the agent keeps waiting indefinitely.
Expected behavior
After confirming permission, the tool call should continue and the agent should proceed.
Actual behavior
The approval is not picked up by the agent. It waits forever with spinner animation, no timeout.
Extra notes
- Normal non-tool-call prompts or tool-calls where no permission is needed works fine.
- If I stop the run and ask what happened, the model says it was waiting for my confirmation.
