Did anyone else notice that GPT-6/codex uses (inline) Python much more aggresively?
A user testing GPT-6/codex observed that the model aggressively uses Python, including inline Python and Python scripts, to address complex problems. This behavior, which can also involve injecting Python via SSH, has increased the 'potentially problematic output' surface, making human review more challenging. The user implemented a local SKILL to mitigate this, and is curious if others are experiencing similar issues.

More details
I am testing GPT6 and noticed a few things. A bunch of problems or 'more difficult situations' often cause it to generate python scripts or inline-python or even inject it via SSH and other ways.
Sometimes to avoid editing a file in the project by a few edit calls, it just generates one script to do it. And the 'Approve for me' function in Codex kind of always accepts it.
For me as a human who is still reviewing what is happening, it had become increasingly difficult since the 'potentially problematic output' surface increases a lot through this. I added a local SKILL to tone this done, but I wonder if others have similar issues.
