OpenAI fixes Codex bug that deleted real user files without permission
OpenAI patches Codex after a GPT-5.6 Sol bug caused it to delete user home directories instead of temporary folders, adding target verification and restricting accidental full-access mode.
OpenAI patched Codex after GPT-5.6 Sol started deleting real user files on its own. A cleanup command meant for temporary folders was wiping home directories instead. Codex now verifies deletion targets first, and full-access mode can no longer be triggered by accident.
