Another report of repeated Codex Desktop crashes during heavy work: the entire app closes unexpectedly while Windows remains running, and active tasks are interrupted.
Local diagnostics confirm repeated main-process crashes and a separate built-in browser renderer out-of-memory event. The evidence does not establish that the main-process crashes were caused by memory exhaustion; the exact reproduction trigger remains unknown.
Expected behavior: the desktop app stays open during heavy work and active tasks continue. Please investigate the recurring app exits and improve recovery so an app crash does not leave ongoing work interrupted.
