I am seeing repeated macOS crash popups from the Codex app Dock tile plugin.
Crash process:
com.apple.dock.external.extra.arm64
Plugin path:
/Applications/Codex.app/Contents/PlugIns/CodexDockTilePlugin.plugin/Contents/MacOS/CodexDockTilePlugin
Crash signature:
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Subtype: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE
Exception Message: Thread stack size exceeded due to excessive recursion
CodexDockTilePlugin
-[CodexDockTilePlugin_com_openai_codex setDockTile:]
ELIDED 37325 LEVELS OF RECURSION
This has happened repeatedly. The Dock helper appears to load Codex’s Dock tile plugin, then setDockTile: recursively calls itself until stack overflow.
Latest incident identifier from the pasted crash report:

Earlier similar incident:
