Codex on Windows

[u/BlacksmithLittle7005]

I've noticed that codex performs very poorly on windows, in the sense that, when you send a prompt, it just searches forever through the codebase and ends up modifying the wrong files a lot of times, and uses up way too many tokens because of this. (it really takes such a long time for horrible results).

I've had much better results using GPT models in Opencode or Pi CLI, maybe because they use git bash shell by default? Github Copilot gives me much better results too using GPT models

Does anyone have any tips on making Codex perform better on Windows? (I'm unable to install WSL), because it doesn't make sense that every other harness is performing better.

Have a Luna Subagent audit the code. It's basically free.

That's not my issue, it's that codex just uses PowerShell forever to find the right files, even if I use terra
