What version of Codex is running?

0.25.0

Which model were you using?

gpt-5

What platform is your computer?

macos

What steps can reproduce the bug?

When I leave Codex unattended for a while, sometimes it randomly exits with this message:

The cursor position could not be read within a normal duration

I don't know if this makes a difference, but I'm usually inside a tmux session. I don't even know if this happens outside of tmux.

What is the expected behavior?

_No response_

What do you see instead?
