I see you're running an alpha (prerelease) version. Do you suspect this was a regression with the latest alpha? Or do you think this is related to some state change on your system? If you're able to confirm that it's a codex regression — and even better, isolate it to a particular version, that would be really helpful.
Hey, I just quit Cursor and this seemed to alleviate the issue - I'm not sure if that's expected behavior but it seems to be fighting for control of Git with Cursor even when Cursor is working on a worktree.
That makes me think it's unlikely to be related to the alpha version change, more of a state change my side
