What version of Codex is running?
Codex CLI 0.64.0
What subscription do you have?
ChatGPT Pro
Which model were you using?
gpt-5.1 high
What platform is your computer?
Windows 11 Pro (non-WSL); ripgrep (rg) 15.1.0
What issue are you seeing?
Codex calls on rg for file operations, but then once the prompt has been finished, the background rg process continues running. I have to go into Windows Task Manager to manually shut it down or else high CPU/SSD activities will persist even though the prompt response is complete.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Uploaded thread: 019ae7c9-b8cc-7473-ad24-6940c802f282
What is the expected behavior?
rg and any other processes that were triggered in response to a prompt would be shut down once the prompt is responded and completed.
