Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing the lag on Windows with Codex App version 26.812.11052 and comparing it with the prior version. Done means the app is responsive while opening settings, typing prompts, and moving the cursor, with the regression fixed and verified on a high-end PC.
