codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix Performance: long time to abort after pressed Ctrl+C [1 participants]

TL;DR

The slow abort issue in Codex CLI may be related to its internal handling of Ctrl+C signals, and investigating the signal handling mechanism could provide a solution.

Guidance

• Investigate how Codex CLI handles SIGINT signals, which are sent when Ctrl+C is pressed, to understand the potential cause of the delay.
• Review the Rust code for any blocking or time-consuming operations that might be executed during the shutdown process, which could contribute to the slow abort time.
• Consider adding logging or debugging statements to the signal handling code to measure the time taken by each step of the shutdown process.
• Look into any existing issues or discussions related to signal handling in the Codex CLI repository, as this might be a known problem with a proposed solution.

Example

No code example is provided due to the lack of specific details about the Codex CLI implementation.

Notes

The provided information does not include details about the Codex CLI's internal implementation, making it difficult to provide a precise fix. The issue might be specific to the version of Codex CLI being used (0.125.0) or the environment in which it is running.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Since the root cause is not immediately clear and might involve modifying the Codex CLI code, applying a workaround such as using a different method to abort the process or modifying the environment to reduce the abort time could be a temporary solution.
