I find myself in an awkward tug of war between Claude and Codex. Claude is the buggiest product, always breaking in bizarre and aggravating ways. Codex is much more polished, especially on mobile. However the main thing that's prevented me from adopting Codex full time is its poor implementation of plan mode. While Claude persists it to disk and re-reads it in full on compaction, Codex's just lives in context, so it basically immediately gets destroyed when compacted - which happens a lot, given Codex doesn't default to 1M context window.

I ask it just to make a plan file

  It's a pain in the ass if you're doing parallel planning on the same repo. It's much easier when the harness itself "knows" about planning and does it properly without me holding its hand.

  That won't do any of the things plan mode enforces

Are you using the desktop verion? The CLi is very robust, but these days it just feels crazy slow to me.

  This was on desktop Codex yes, does CLI do it differently?

    In general I find the CLI is more robust and reliable. I frequently hit some weird bug in the desktop versions.
