Have you used Gemini CLI, and then codex? Gemini is so trigger happy, the moment you don’t tell it „don’t make any changes“ it runs off and starts doing all kind of unrelated refactorings. This is the opposite of what I want. I want considerate, surgical implementations. I need to have a discussion of the scope, and sequence diagrams first. It should read a lot of files instead of hallucinating about my architecture.

Their chat feels similar. It just runs off like a wild dog.
