Try the TypeScript codex CLI with the gpt-5-codex model with reasoning always set to high, or GPT-5 Pro with max reasoning. Both are currently undeniably better than Claude Opus 4.1 or Sonnet 4.5 (max reasoning or otherwise) for all code-related tasks. Much slower but more reliable and more intelligent.

I've been a Claude Code fanboy for many months but OpenAI simply won this leg of the race, for now.

Same. I switched from sonnet 4 when it was out to codex. Went back to try sonnet 4.5 and it really hates to work for longer than like 5 minutes at a time

Codex meanwhile seems to be smarter and plugs away at a massive todo list for like 2 hours
