_No response_

What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Login codex with using vscode extension.
- Use codex command in warp terminal
What is the expected behavior?
Hope to open just normal codex prompt ui.
What do you see instead?
"Error: The cursor position could not be read within a normal duration" message appears instead.
Additional information
Just only warp terminal can't open this codex cli. I think it might be the problem of warp, not codex cli.
