Summary
--boundaryFixes #512.
Root cause
normalizeArgv()treated every single argument as a raw command line. For task prompts, this fed user prose through shell-style quote/backslash removal and then through option parsing. Text such as--modelor--writecould therefore change runtime behavior instead of reaching Codex, while Windows paths, quotes, and newlines were silently corrupted.The compatibility behavior remains in place for commands that receive Claude Code's quoted
$ARGUMENTS; onlytask, whose positional payload is free text, opts out.Impact
Codex rescue tasks now receive the exact prompt Claude Code forwarded. Prompts about CLIs can safely contain option names, and Windows paths and quoted diagnostics are no longer mangled. Explicit task controls still work before
