What issue are you seeing?

started codex with my disk full, and ctrl+c quitting codex did not work. then i cleaned some space and started a new Codex session, that codex session could be ctrl+c quitted like normal, but even after cleaning some space, the codex session that was started with a full disk was still stuck.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

dd if=/dev/urandom of=make_my_disk_full iflag=fullblock bs=1M status=progress;
echo doing it in 2 steps is a speed optimization, you only want to use bs=1 when it's nearly full.
dd if=/dev/urandom of=make_my_disk_full iflag=fullblock bs=1 oflag=append status=progress;
