What issue are you seeing?

Environment

• macOS: 14.7.2
• Architecture: Apple Silicon / arm64
• Mac: M2
• Codex App: latest official version after update
• Install path: /Applications/Codex.app

Observed behavior

• Codex App opens.
• Login appears to work.
• Creating a task fails with Timeout.
• Starting a conversation fails with Timeout.
• The local app-server sidecar repeatedly exits with SIGABRT.

Expected behavior

Codex App should either:

1. Continue to support macOS 14.x, or
2. Clearly declare macOS 15+ as the minimum supported version before update/install, or
3. Disable codex_chronicle on macOS 14 instead of blocking task/conversation startup.

### What steps can reproduce the bug?

This looks related to previous macOS packaging issues such as #18755, where a bundled Codex helper was built with macOS 15.0 as the minimum deployment target.

However, this report is for a different bundled component: `codex_chronicle`.

In my case, `codex_chronicle` crashes on macOS 14.7.2 and causes task creation / conversation startup to fail with `Timeout`.
