The report identifies Codex CLI 0.153.2 running as a standalone Rust binary under Linux WSL2, but it names no source file, failing test, or reproducible crash path. Start by reproducing the crash in that environment and inspecting the available runtime information; done means the cause is isolated and the fix is covered by a regression check.
