Please make "/undo" back

[SunRunAway]

What feature would you like to see?

It quite useful when:

1. codex unintenally deletes some files which is not tracked by git.
2. codex unintenally modify something when something is not git committed.
   It bites me several times in recent days and I miss the /undo feature each time.

codex unintenally deletes some files which is not tracked by git.

This happened to me too just these last days, out of nowhere, been using codex since it was available, and never had this happen to me before. Suddenly it wants to "keep the git repository clean" and deletes anything regardless of it existing before starting codex or not, it doesn't seem to realize what side-effects the commands it runs actually have.

Work around, actually check things into git or keep out of reach from Codex.

git is the real solution rather than /undo here as well, the sooner you learn it, the faster you'll be able to continue working without waiting for something to come back, which likely won't come back :) Ask codex to help you learn git ;)

I find this mainly an issue where I'm working on something in a session, fine with the last few changes codex made, then it makes a bad change. If I don't remember to do a stash before the bad change then how am I supposed to revert without loosing all my progress?

Its gone.. asking codex to fix it will make it worse. Im forced to go back to using Claude.
Google anti Gravity is also a great alternative.

@etraut-openai Could you revert it back? If there is a particular reason to hide it, could you put it in experimental and warn people the reason when we enabling it?

[etraut-openai]

@SunRunAway, the previous experimental implementation had problems. It was causing many issues even for users who did not use the feature. If we bring it back, it will need to be redesigned.
