• 2026-02-28 Sat
  • started codex desktop from CLI in applications folder. Saw update was available, clicked update button.
  • cli version stopped, it restarted, the finder icon bounced for 45 sec.
  • MacOS/Activity/Monitor/Force Quit after it was "Not Responding"
  • wow, this is quite a bug.

  • codex --version
    codex-cli 0.106.0

  • Deleted Codex.app and redownloaded from https://openai.com/codex/get-started/
  • started it up by double clicking on the Codex icon in the MacOS /Applications Folder
  • same symptom. 45+sec bouncing in finder, then it stopped bouncing. Mac/OS/App/Switcher still showed that it was up, but no windows were showing. Right click -> Show All Windows yielded "No No Available Windows"
