What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

0.144.6

What subscription do you have?

Free

What platform is your computer?

Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.22621.0 x64

What issue are you seeing?

Problem:
Running codex immediately crashes with:

Message: No such local time
Location: chrono-0.4.43/src/offset/local/mod.rs:193

The same panic occurs in the VS Code Codex extension, which stays on "Thinking..." because the embedded CLI crashes during startup.

Troubleshooting performed:

  • Verified Windows timezone and locale
  • Verified system date/time
  • Reinstalled Codex
  • Deleted ~/.codex
  • Reproduced outside VS Code

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Environment:

  • Windows 11 22H2 (22621.4317)
  • Node v22.16.0
  • npm 10.2.5
  • codex-cli 0.144.6
  • Installed via npm
  • Locale: en-US
  • Timezone: Iran Standard Time (UTC+03:30)
  • TZ environment variable not set

What is the expected behavior?
