What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

26.611.62324

What subscription do you have?

max

What platform is your computer?

macOS 26.3.1 (25D2128) ; hardware: 26.3.1 (25D2128)

What issue are you seeing?

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:

176FD10F-9DCD-4E17-B6DC-CD5E8502AEB4

Earlier similar incident:

C8E8DBD7-9F66-4E99-A38F-3CFF99CA8429

What steps can reproduce the bug?

in the terminal: killall Dock

What is the expected behavior?

% killall Dock
