TL;DR

Downgrade to version 0.118.0 as a temporary workaround to resolve the hanging issue with the Codex CLI.

Guidance

  • The issue seems to be introduced in versions 0.119.0 and 0.120.0, so avoiding these versions may mitigate the problem.
  • To verify if the issue is indeed version-specific, try upgrading to 0.119.0 and then back to 0.118.0 to see if the problem persists.
  • Since downgrading to 0.118.0 resolves the issue, it might be worth waiting for a future update that addresses this problem before upgrading again.
  • Consider reporting this issue with more details, such as the platform and terminal emulator used, to help the developers identify and fix the root cause.

Notes

The exact cause of the hanging issue is unknown due to the lack of detailed information about the environment and expected behavior. Therefore, the suggested workaround is based solely on the version change that triggers the problem.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Downgrade to version 0.118.0, as it is the only version confirmed to work without the hanging issue, and wait for a future update that may address this problem.
