"sandbox error: command timed out" when searching for strings in codebase.

[mrxsal]

After sending a prompt, codex often attempts to look for certain strings in the codebase. However, this takes codex way longer than for example github copilot agent mode.

It regularly times out, and even codex itself seems frustrated :

✗ Failed (exit -1)
  └ 🔎 class .*Factory|GeoRecordFactory|Network|SourceDataSetFactory|GeoRecordSetFactory in tests
    sandbox error: command timed out

✗ Failed (exit -1)
  └ 📂 tests
    sandbox error: command timed out

✗ Failed (exit -1)
  └ 🔎 factories in tests
    sandbox error: command timed out

✗ Failed (exit -1)
  └ ⌨️ python - << 'PY'
    import os
    for root, dirs, files in os.walk('tests'):
        for f in files:
            if f.endswith('.py') and 'factory' in f or 'factories' in root:
                print(os.path.join(root,f))
    PY
