Can you explain more about what you mean by "melting your shell"? What is the behavior you're seeing?

Essentially, it crashes starship trying to do ls somehow, like, simple bash ls, and when I open a terminal session by the side I can see that starship isn't loading, nor zsh or anything, its just raw terminal after codex tries to ls, which he never completes...

We'll need more detailed repro steps and configuration details to investigate further.
