## Why We found this while reviewing #21091, but confirmed it is not introduced by that PR: the order-sensitive `current_text_with_pending()` replacement loop already existed, and `main` already allowed active same-size large pastes to use prefix-overlapping labels such as `[Pasted Content N chars]` and `[Pasted Content N chars] #2`. #21091 fixes placeholder numbering after a draft is cleared, so a fresh same-size paste can reuse the base label. This PR fixes a different path: when a draft already contains multiple active same-size large pastes, the placeholders can overlap by prefix, for example `[Pasted Content N chars]` and `[Pasted Content N chars] #2`. That overlap breaks `current_text_with_pending()` when the composer materializes the draft text for the external editor. Replacing the base placeholder first can partially rewrite the `#2` placeholder, leaving the external editor seeded with corrupted text instead of both paste payloads. | Before | After | |---|---| | <img width="1230" height="1008" alt="CleanShot 2026-05-05 at 10 18 09" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/88a2936c-cf00-4adc-8567-8fd8f398b4a8" /> | <img width="1230" height="1008" alt="CleanShot 2026-05-05 at 10 20 31" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/119cff52-43c8-432a-9367-418d82f4ed82" /> | | <img width="1230" height="1008" alt="CleanShot 2026-05-05 at 10 18 57" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/026031bb-839b-4252-a0fd-9ba9616435fe" /> | <img width="1230" height="1008" alt="CleanShot 2026-05-05 at 10 21 31" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/8cb6f2c8-3a5d-411b-8623-dca666ee3c08" /> | ## What Changed - Changed `current_text_with_pending()` to expand pending pastes through the existing element-range based `expand_pending_pastes()` helper instead of global string replacement. - Added a regression test with two different same-length large pastes to ensure both overlapping placeholders expand to their original payloads. ## How to Test 1. Start Codex TUI. 2. Paste a large string, for example 1004 `A` characters. ```shell perl -e 'print "A" x 1004' | pbcopy ``` 3. Paste a second large string with the same length, for example 1004 `B` characters. ```shell perl -e 'print "B" x 1004' | pbcopy ``` 4. Open the external editor from the composer. 5. Confirm the editor is seeded with the full `A...` payload followed by the full `B...` payload, with no literal `#2` left behind. Targeted tests: - `cargo test -p codex-tui current_text_with_pending_expands_overlapping_placeholders` - `just argument-comment-lint-from-source -p codex-tui` I also ran `cargo test -p codex-tui`; it reached the full crate suite but failed two unrelated local status tests because this machine's `/etc/codex/requirements.toml` rejects `DangerFullAccess`.
