Codex Never Crashed. It Just Quietly Did Nothing. From the agentpolicy v0.1.0 release: a local-first, Cedar-based policy decision point for AI agents (decide allow, deny, ask, rate-limit, or redact for every agent action, with shipped rule packs).

Codex quietly failed to function properly, with several bugs affecting its operation. The first issue was that the API it assumed to exist, chat completions, was no longer supported. The second problem was a hang when using codex exec in a headless test script, which printed "Reading additional input from stdin..." but didn't produce any output.
The third issue was a series of 404 errors returned by the system, which initially seemed to indicate a server problem. The main takeaway is that Codex quietly did nothing, providing no clear indication of failure. The article emphasizes the importance of proactively checking the transport and stdin settings, and interpreting 404 errors as potential client-side issues rather than server problems.
