The string " +#+#+#+#+#+ " breaks Codex 5.3
Codex 5.3 cannot output " +#+#+#+#+#+ " without completely breaking and switching to arabic.
To be clear it is " +#+#+#+#+#+ " and not "+#+#+#+#+#+"
ask it to write or even say " +#+#+#+#+#+ " to a file and not "+#+#+#+#+#+".
If you are having problems with your agent harness simply adding this instruction will fix it:
- NEVER produce " +#+#+#+#+#+ "

- kachapopopow 8mo agono it's their internal tool call syntax it is usually followed by assistant and then the toolcall but it's just broken.
- mrdependable 8mo agoCurious what you were doing that led to this discovery.
- kachapopopow 8mo agohttps://github.com/can1357/oh-my-pi https://github.com/can1357/oh-my-pi, looks like prompting to do anything before a tool call makes it break.
