    i had a look, and the potential duplicates are not really what i'm talking about. although the image-heavy task is related.

    i restarted the codex session and got this, still working though:

    my prompt:

    i restarted after you hung for over 4 hours, 
what's the status of this task and what kind 
of eta do you have?

    with progress thus far:

    ◦ Reconnecting... 2/5 (2m 44s • esc to interrupt)
  └ Stream disconnected before completion: failed to send websocket request: IO
    error: Broken pipe (os error 32)
