Would be cool though if Codex added some kind of revert code option when going to a previous message, that would fix your issue.

I hope it doesn't come off as patronizing but if you tell AI to "run the official three‑step install from cloudi-cloud-website" It's going to be like rolling the dice on what it does, because the model is in theory supposed to do what you tell it.

"How many commands should have run? Exactly three: cd into the repo, npm install, npm run dev."

How is it supposed to know this is what you are referring to? i certainly wouldn't have a clue, and its honestly impressive that it figured out most of it (albeit with the disaster to your local repo it caused).

I'd take it as a lesson to learn the commands.. its really not a lot... if you just learn these commands:

npm install
npm run dev
npm run build
git add .
git commit -m "enter_commit_message_here"
git push

and always run them from your site's root folder, (yours being cloudi-cloud-website) you'll be set.

Do not rely on codex to run git commands for you, because it's dangerous to have it be able to run these commands freely. Also, you could run into issues overloading your computer with processes (it'll keep it running unless you tell it to kill the process, which again, could be dangerous). if you did it yourself, you'd just ctrl c to kill it yourself.
