For AI issues: which model did you use?

GPT5.1-codex-mini

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. It looks like the model is hallucinating: it’s generating unrelated terminal commands (pwd, ls, echo) instead of actually editing your code.

Please share the Request ID – this is critical for the engineering team:

  • Click the context menu in the top right corner of this chat → Copy Request ID

A few quick checks that can help narrow this down:

  • Try the same refactoring task with a different model (for example, Claude Sonnet 4)
  • Does this happen every time with GPT 5.1 codex mini, or only sometimes?
