How to stop Codex from rushing fixes?

No, no—I’m talking about a regression in model capabilities. This isn’t a matter of trade-offs; real-world tasks are inherently complex. AI decision-making involves more than just identifying user intent. If I have to manually integrate my own subjective intent with existing documentation, that becomes a completely different process. In reality, its role in coding goes beyond just saving me the manual effort of typing. If I ask it to create a plan and it simply adds a line every time I say something—without actually examining or considering feasibility—then what is the point of the AI? The more it handles, the less I have to do; surely, that is the whole reason for using AI in the first place. More importantly, this is something it used to handle well but no longer does. This kind of unexpected regression disrupts my workflow.
