How are you guys even doing long tasks with plain Codex or Claude code?

I use Claude code and I get hit with a permissions prompt every 2 seconds for anything I try to do.

Sure I can turn off all dangerous permissions but it'd probably honestly stop and claim it's finished well before it actually is in most cases from my experience.

To be fair I haven't tried codex so maybe it's better at this but I'm my experience almost every model stops at some point and claims victory or stops and tells me something like "next we'll continue on with XYZ" at which point I have to prompt it to continue.

You have to use --yolo or --dangerously-skip-permissions options.

Thankfully the cloud versions (Claude Code for web, Codex Cloud) run like that already, and are relatively safe in that if anything goes wrong it happens on someone else's computer.

Codex (at least 5 and 5.1) is bad at asking for permission. Whenever it wants to run pre-commit or platformio, it tries to do that, that fails because of the sandbox, and then Codex decides something is wrong with the cache directory and keeps asking for permission to sudo chown ~/.cache, every time.

I have to specifically tell it to request permission for the command it wants to run, and then it works. Very annoying, and very annoying that it can't persist the permission, like Claude Code can, so it doesn't have to ask again every single time.
