What issue are you seeing?

Codex CLI crashes on Linux Mint 22.3 shortly after startup. The app-server exits unexpectedly with SIGABRT.

This may be related to the thread_tools feature/config issue reported in #29140, but my case is different because it happens with the CLI directly on Linux Mint, not only in the VS Code extension or Desktop app.

Possibly related issues:

#29140 — thread_tools unknown feature key / app-server crash
#21339 — Linux app-server / npm wrapper / SIGABRT behavior
#17473 — CODEX_HOME under /tmp helper alias warning

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Run Codex CLI with a fresh temporary CODEX_HOME:

CODEX_HOME=/tmp/codex-debug/home \
RUST_BACKTRACE=full \
codex exec --skip-git-repo-check "Antworte nur mit OK."

What is the expected behavior?

Codex CLI should execute the prompt normally, or at least return a recoverable error message instead of crashing the app-server with SIGABRT.

Additional information

This looks related to #29140 because of the thread_tools feature/config message and the app-server crash, but it may be a separate Linux CLI issue because:

This happens on Linux Mint 22.3 using the CLI directly.
The process exits with SIGABRT.
The crash continues even after using a fresh temporary CODEX_HOME.

Should this be tracked as a duplicate of #29140, or is this a separate Linux CLI/app-server crash?
