What issue are you seeing?

Environment

  • ChatGPT desktop: 26.820.71523
  • macOS: 26.5.2
  • Bundled Codex CLI: 0.150.0-alpha.8
  • Model: gpt-5.6-terra, medium reasoning

Problem

A newly created local Codex chat in the ChatGPT desktop app remains indefinitely in “Thinking”, even with the simple prompt:

只回复:测试正常

No response is displayed and the task does not complete in the desktop UI.

Expected behavior

The desktop Codex chat should immediately display:

测试正常

Control test

The bundled CLI works normally from Terminal and immediately returns the expected response:

/Applications/ChatGPT.app/Contents/Resources/codex exec --skip-git-repo-check "只回复:测试正常"

Codex Doctor findings

  • Desktop app-server initialized successfully
  • WebSocket connected successfully
  • Authentication is configured
  • State databases are healthy
  • Desktop/runtime CDN is unreachable
  • Bundled rg could not be found
  • No failed health checks; two warnings

This appears to be a desktop UI/app-server completion-event regression rather than a model or authentication failure.
