Seems like a socket transport issue, I'm not sure. Can relate to https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/17202.

Im not joking you can do two things

  1. ask codex , to simplify your code , and reduce lines ( I like to tell it that I showed it to my c wizzard teacher he that he wants to kill me)
  2. ask it to migrate to more lean libraries
