Closed as duplicate

Description

@ysh0566

What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

26.409.20454 (1462)

What subscription do you have?

Chatgpt pro

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 25.3.0 arm64 arm

What issue are you seeing?

After launching Codex GUI, execution of all non-system binaries becomes extremely slow or hangs completely.

System binaries (e.g., /bin/ls) may still work normally, but binaries outside system paths (e.g., /usr/local/bin, Homebrew tools) are significantly delayed or blocked.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

This behavior does not occur immediately after reboot, and is consistently triggered after opening Codex GUI.

What is the expected behavior?

No response
