Description
Inline LaTeX formulas ($...$) intermittently fail to render in the Codex app.
Observed Behavior

Block/display formulas ($$...$$) render correctly and consistently
Inline formulas ($...$) sometimes render correctly, but other times appear as raw unrendered text
The issue is non-deterministic and cannot be reliably reproduced

Additional Context
The inconsistency suggests a possible race condition in the rendering pipeline, but the root cause is unclear. Identical content may render differently across separate sessions or page loads.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

This is a probabilistic problem and cannot be reproduced stably.

What is the expected behavior?

It can stably render latex inline formulas in the output result.
