What issue are you seeing?
Error starting chat invalid configuration unknown variant wsL2, expected unelevated in Windows sandbox. Every time I hit Enter, this prompt appears, and I can't fix the error because of the Codex response and the system prompt. Codex was not able to use the sandbox, so I went with the wsL2 setup, and now this error. It is unusable. I am new at this, so I really need help.
