What issue are you seeing?

Environment: Linux container
Codex versions: 0.144.4 and 0.145.0

Tiny isolated Git repository:

• Direct add of one file: ~29.0 s
• Two concurrent direct adds: ~29 s and ~58 s (serialized)
• One direct patch adding 20 files: ~599.7 s
• Files appeared approximately 29.019 s apart
• One-line update: ~38.7 s
• Delete: ~48.4 s
• Move plus edit: ~77.4 s

Controls:

• Local apply_patch executable, complete six-file workflow: ~56 ms
• Git status: ~9 ms
• Invalid direct patch syntax: ~1 ms
• Ordinary shell tool calls: normal
• No patch approval or guardian events

Conclusion:
The delay is introduced by the managed direct-tool bridge. Its ~9.67-second
quantization and global serialization suggest a polling/retry/state-transition
loop rather than filesystem work.

For an internal feedback submission, include conversation/session ID:

019f99b4-aa8d-7eb0-996d-5ca6a094d5b3

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Uploaded thread: 019f99b4-aa8d-7eb0-996d-5ca6a094d5b3

What is the expected behavior?

Outside of the container, editions and file operations are fast. They should be just as fast inside the container.
