Codex unexpectedly quits working

v0.55.0

Pro
Which model were you using?
gpt-5-codex high
What platform is your computer?
Darwin 21.6.0 x86_64 i386
What issue are you seeing?
Here was my prompt:
on templates/ReportSections/edit.php when I save "content" in tinymce editor,
it is modifying it.
If I code it like this:
<div class="accordion clearfix">
<div class="accordion-title-wrap">
<a class="accordion-title" href="#">
<span class="opened"><i class="fas fa-chevron-up"></i></span>
<span class="closed"><i class="fas fa-chevron-down"></i></span>
<h3>Collagens: Products - All</h3>
</a>
</div>
<div class="panel clearfix">
</div>
</div>
And save, it is then modified to this:
<div class="accordion clearfix">
<div class="accordion-title-wrap"><a class="accordion-title" href="#"><span
class="opened"></span> <span class="closed"></span> </a>
<h3><a class="accordion-title" href="#">Collagens: Products - All</a></h3>
<a class="accordion-title" href="#"> </a></div>
<div class="panel clearfix"> </div>
</div>
I need to modify the tinymce initialize function so that ANY, and I mean ANY
html can be entered without it modifying it.
Here is Codex Behavior:
It starts thinking, and outputs something like the following:
"I'm trying to figure out why setting HTMLPurifier to allow all HTML except scripts and styles ends up stripping everything. It seems like some config options or cache issues might be causing the purifier to remove all content unexpectedly. I'll check the actual config in AppTable and run CLI tests to understand what’s going wrong."
And immediately as soon as it outputs what it is thinking, it just stops working, without any further output.
What steps can reproduce the bug?

I am seeing this same behaviour. It starts to work and comes back to a prompt. This is happening across multiple instances. All are WSL2, all updated to the latest.

We had a temporary service outage that affected codex. Should be working again now. Let us know if you're still seeing a problem.
