Codex session repeatedly disconnects: websocket closed before response.completed
Summary
While running a Codex task, the connection became very unstable and repeatedly showed reconnecting behavior. The session eventually surfaced this error:
stream disconnected before completion: websocket closed by server before response.completed
The UI showed reconnect attempts such as Reconnecting... 2/5 during the task.
Feedback ID
019e62a9-9544-7780-864a-566226a188ac
Environment
- Codex app version: 26.519.41501 (3044)
- macOS: Tahoe 26.5
- Device: MacBook Pro 16-inch, Apple M5 Max, 128 GB memory
- Network: home network, no VPN enabled
Expected behavior
Codex should keep the session stream stable until the task completes, or recover cleanly after a transient reconnect without losing the response/completion state.
Actual behavior
The stream disconnected before completion and the websocket was closed by the server before response.completed, causing the task to become unstable instead of finishing normally.
