How to change reasoning effort in Codex CLI: model_reasoning_effort values and one-off overrides

How to change reasoning effort in Codex CLI: model_reasoning_effort values and one-off overrides37+ min ago   (430+ words) Codex feels slow, or it overthinks a trivial fix. The knob for that is reasoning effort, the Codex counterpart of extended thinking in Claude Code, controlled by the model_reasoning_effort key. In short: set model_reasoning_effort = "high" (or another value) in ~/.codex/config.toml…...

My check ran green every time and its result could never reach the thing that needed it1+ hour, 5+ min ago   (491+ words) An acceptance report reads one cell per unit.
