apply_patch not working

> Codex desktop’s apply_patch file-edit tool hangs indefinitely in my local workspace.

>
> Shell commands work when elevated, including read-only checks, but every apply_patch attempt remains “running” for
> over 50 seconds and never applies the patch. Retrying in a new conversation did not fix it.
>
> This prevents Codex from editing files because it cannot safely fall back to shell-based writes.
