How to get Codex to ask for approval before making any changes

How can I make Codex ask me for approval before it makes code changes.

You can as search the OpenAI Codex issues for enhancements

It’s worth reviewing existing enhancements to see if any align with your situation. If none do, consider opening a new issue with the label enhancement . If you do find a match, adding a :+1: reaction can help increase its visibility to the developers.
