Hey, I have been posting some updates on my investigation here: #10996, which seems to be a similar issue.

I had the same issue. I disabled this by giving Codex full disk access, but intermittent crashes continue. I tried using the Codex app to identify the problem, did a clean reinstall, and reset preferences, but nothing helps.
