CLI freezing since 117 on WSL #17439

What version of Codex CLI is running?

120

What subscription do you have?

Pro

Which model were you using?

No response

What platform is your computer?

WSL

What terminal emulator and version are you using (if applicable)?

Bash

What issue are you seeing?

Since 117 the CLI sometimes freezes eg I will see Waiting for background terminal (5m 10s • esc to interrupt) but the time doesnt increase and it never changes however it is still running because if I give it time and close it and then resume the session the task has completed (if i gave it enough time, if not it says it was interrupted).

This started in 117, it was there in 118. I reverted to 116 with no issue. Tried updating to 120 today and its still happening.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Use Codex CLI 117+ in WSL, observe relatively frequent freezes like this.

What is the expected behavior?
