I am also getting this error. Pretty much every project I start that has any code to begin with ends up with this issue. I started one with some stubs and framework that 4o put together for me and then uploaded that to a repo and built it out from there using codex and it worked well. However, when i fork a repo or add code from an existing local project to a repo and then try to use codex on it I get this error.
