FAQPage Schema
How do I automate code refactoring with Codex safely?

Automated code refactoring with Codex is handled safely through a permission-driven CLI workflow that controls directory access and enforces safe tool execution during model-assisted edits.

Can I run Codex for code analysis without manual approval prompts?

Codex code analysis can run without manual approval by using scripted execution modes with predefined permissions, allowing automated code review and bug fixes across codebases without interactive prompts.

Does the Codex CLI workflow support resuming interrupted code edits?

Codex CLI workflow supports resume and continue flows, allowing interrupted code analysis or automated editing tasks to be resumed without losing previous context or progress.

What's the best way to control directory access when using Codex for code review?

Directory access during Codex code review is controlled through permission-driven execution models defined by the helper script, ensuring safe tool access is restricted to authorized paths.

How does the Codex helper script detect which model to use for code analysis?

The Codex helper script auto-detects the latest available Codex model and runs code analysis, refactoring, or automated editing tasks through the codex-run.sh script.

When should I use interactive mode vs scripted mode for Codex automated editing?

Interactive mode suits exploratory code review and bug fixes requiring step-by-step approval, while scripted mode enables fully automated refactoring and batch edits with predefined permission controls.
