Environment:
- Codex CLI:
0.142.2 - OS: macOS
26.5.1(25F80) - Arch:
x86_64 - Shell/session:
zshin iTerm2 - Binary:
/usr/local/Caskroom/codex/0.142.2/codex-x86_64-apple-darwin
Observed behavior:
- Codex crashes with
trace trap - This happens when using
gpt-5.5 - Switching local config to
gpt-5.4appears to avoid the crash
Crash details from macOS diagnostic reports:
- exception:
EXC_BREAKPOINT - signal:
SIGTRAP - termination:
Trace/BPT trap: 5
Relevant reports:
codex-x86_64-apple-darwin-2026-06-26-144836.ipscodex-x86_64-apple-darwin-2026-06-26-144604.ips
The faulting thread in both reports appears to be inside Codex's embedded V8 runtime during isolate/code-range initialization, with frames like:
v8::base::OS::SetPermissionsv8::internal::CodeRange::InitReservationv8::internal::Heap::SetUpv8::internal::Isolate::Initv8::Isolate::New
This does not look like a normal skill/script failure; it looks like the Codex process itself is crashing natively.
This appears related to other trace trap reports around gpt-5.5, but I'm reporting it separately because it is reproducible for me on 0.142.2.
