Code generation regressions and unreliable output quality

8/10 High

Post-update Codex exhibits significant regressions in previously stable workflows, generating code with logical inconsistencies, ignoring design specifications (e.g., front-end ignoring provided UI designs), and requiring multiple re-runs and manual fixes.

Query: “What are the most common pain points with Codex for developers in 2025?”4/4/2026

Front-end generation has become absurd — it ignores provided designs and outputs something completely unrelated... The new 'code review' feature... finds bugs and logical inconsistencies in almost every piece of code generated by Codex itself, forcing me to rerun and re-fix the same task over and over.
