Codex has been thinking for 45 minutes without making any progress
019c54b7-cb87-7e72-829f-bd2ee196faef. The problem is the Codex app does not have thinking traces/blocks so I can't tell if Codex is stuck or moving towards the right direction.This happened to me and it was when I was using 5.2 xhigh with the pragmatic personality. It worked on high. What reasoning effort and model are you using and what personality?
