What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?
26.313.41514
What subscription do you have?
Plus
What platform is your computer?
Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.19045.0 x64
What issue are you seeing?
Additional critical detail:
The corrupted response does not terminate normally. Once the issue starts, Codex keeps generating gibberish continuously until manually stopped. This is not just a malformed answer — it appears to enter an infinite or non-terminating generation/streaming state.
Observed behavior:
- response starts normally or near-normally
- output degrades into multilingual/token-salad gibberish
- generation keeps going indefinitely
- manual stop is required
This makes the issue significantly more severe than a one-off corrupted text fragment.
The response continued generating indefinitely until I manually stopped it.
What steps can reproduce the bug?

What is the expected behavior?
