Research direction

Start by reproducing the flickering, unresponsive state during Startup in the Codex desktop app on macOS, using the reported version and the About Codex dialog details. The issue does not identify an entry-point file, expected behavior, or diagnostic output, so confirm those with the reporter before coding; done means startup is responsive without flickering and the behavior is verified.
