There is nothing called "GPT5.5 Codex" unless I've completely misunderstood OpenAI's product line?

Codex is a harness, while GPT-5.5 is a model. The last codex-branded model was 5.3. Codex as a harness ships as a CLI, a desktop app, and a web product (and I'm not at all sure how similar the underlying harness is between them.)

Is the bug here supposed to be with the CLI harness, or the model? Does it also happen in pi, opencode, etc while running GPT-5.5?

If the issue comments are to be believed it could be related to the codex system prompt itself so likely just the harness. I agree the wording is weird but they appear to be referencing GPT 5.5 in Codex because yeah there isn’t a GPT5.5 Codex model.
