What happened:
Codex crashed while I was using the desktop app. The translated crash report shows the crash was triggered by a thread labeled “git,” suggesting the crash may have occurred while Codex was reading or interacting with the local repository.

Codex should not crash during Git/repository operations. If there is a Git/repo problem, it should show an error message instead of aborting.

The Codex app crashed with SIGABRT / abort().
