What issue are you seeing?

Codex Desktop crashes randomly while working on coding tasks.

Environment:

• Codex version: 26.623.101652
• macOS 26.5
• Mac mini M2 Pro
• Apple Silicon
• 16 GB RAM

The application completely quits and macOS shows "Codex quit unexpectedly".

The crashes have been happening since the first version I installed and continue on the latest version.

The issue occurs across multiple repositories and projects.

Cursor and Antigravity work normally on the same machine.

The crash reports consistently show:

• Triggered by Thread: git
• EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT)
• abort() called

I also frequently notice the crash after Codex requests macOS permission related to "Keeping app data separate".

I have attached multiple crash reports.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

1. Open Codex Desktop on macOS.
2. Open any existing Git repository.
3. Ask Codex to perform a coding task (e.g. modify files, refactor code, or commit/push changes).
4. Wait around 30–90 seconds.
5. Codex suddenly quits and macOS shows "Codex quit unexpectedly".
6. Reopen Codex and continue the task.
7. The crash happens again intermittently.

What is the expected behavior?
