What version of Codex is running?

0.53.0

What subscription do you have?

Pro

Which model were you using?

gpt-5-codex (high)

What platform is your computer?

Linux 6.6.87.2-microsoft-standard-WSL2 x86_64 x86_64

What issue are you seeing?

I submitted a prompt and codex took it, went to its first user response step of saying Working (10m ...) . It kept counting up; after 10 minutes I used ctrl + c to exit the evaluation early, using the up arrow key to try resubmitting the same prompt. Got the same 10+ minute hang result.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Uploaded thread: 019a4b15-807a-7602-baf6-b30f9e79a920

What is the expected behavior?

Process the prompt like normal with the normal user feedback.
