TL;DR

The issue with the Codex CLI hanging and being unresponsive may be related to the specific version or model being used, and checking for updates or trying a different model could be a potential workaround.

Guidance

  • Verify that the issue persists across different models, such as trying a different model version like 5.1 or 6.0, to isolate if the problem is model-specific.
  • Check the OpenAI Codex documentation or release notes for version 0.125.0 to see if there are any known issues or updates that may address the hanging problem.
  • Consider reaching out to OpenAI support or checking their community forums for similar issues and potential workarounds.
  • If the issue is reproducible, provide more details about the uploaded thread 019ddbe4-3e32-7871-bbf7-9b981531fa38, such as the input or actions taken before the hang occurred.

Notes

The provided information lacks specific details about the actions taken before the Codex CLI hung, which could be crucial in diagnosing the issue. Additionally, without more information about the uploaded thread, it's challenging to provide a more targeted solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Try a different model version or check for updates to the Codex CLI, as this may address the hanging issue without requiring a full version upgrade.
