i just keep pushing with codex to see if will ever come up with a solution.

i've turned up it's reasoning to "Extra High" and now it says it's going back to first principles and reading the docs.

interesting. i didn't expect this.

since it can't actually test a drag/drop vi a CLI, it created a one-off build a fuck-ton of NSLogs in all the drag callbacks and has asked me to run a test, then copy/paste the logged data.

it's what i do too when the AppKit documentation is especially unhelpful.

it's surprising that it's trying to deduce the NSOutlineView behavior since it doesn't intrinsically understand it.

AI is wild.

@isaiah I’ve also noticed that, when it starts running in circles, the best thing I can do is to reset the branch and tell it to log everything relevant; then feeding back the whole output, ideally interleaved with a description of what I did and the effect I saw, makes a appreciable difference.
