Research direction
Start with the exec_command entry point and reproduce the failure on an Intel Mac after extended use, checking the bundled Python, Node REPL, knowledge graph, and sub-agent tools mentioned in the report. Done means identifying the process-creation failure and demonstrating that exec_command and the dependent tools recover reliably without requiring a full app restart.

Description
What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?
150.0.7871.128 (26.721.41059)
What subscription do you have?
Free
What platform is your computer?
apple的MacBook Pro,Intel Core i9
What issue are you seeing?
对，改：
所有
exec_command调用失败，报错CreateProcess failed: os error 2，跨所有线程。完全退出 Codex 重启也无法恢复。
What steps can reproduce the bug?
填：
- 打开 Codex App，在任意线程中密集使用（命令行操作、代码编辑、打包等），持续 8 小时以上
exec_command全部失败，报CreateProcess failed: os error 2- 所有工具（Node REPL、知识图谱、子 Agent）相继失效
- 完全退出 Codex 重启也无法修复
What is the expected behavior?
填：
exec_command应持续可靠工作，不受使用时长影响。如出现异常应有自动恢复机制，而非全面崩溃且重启无效。
Additional information
填：
macOS 自带 Terminal 完全正常，
/bin/zsh可正常使用。仅 Codex App 内所有进程创建均失败，疑为沙箱或进程管理器长期运行后资源耗尽。附：Workspace dependencies 中有 bundled Python 和 Node，但均无法调用。
