Environment setup hanging indefinitely

[k-thornton]

What version of Codex is running?

current online version

Which model were you using?

5.1 codex

What platform is your computer?

Mac (not applicable)

What steps can reproduce the bug?

I have an open session on the web version of codex that has been stuck at "Setting up environment" for an entire week now.

I got into this state by attempting to stop the task exactly as it was starting. Clearly this caused some bad state which I'm still stuck in. Link to my session:

What is the expected behavior?

I'd have expected the environment setup to abort and the agent would return to neutral state.

What do you see instead?

I am not sure if this is the same issue, but I am getting the same message when either:

1. Attempting to start 2 tasks in codex one after the other - generally in unrelated parts of code, or one is a code and one is an ask
2. Asking a follow up code question in an existing code modification, ie, fine tuning an MR
