What issue are you seeing?

I used the cli to diagnose but the issue initially came up with the Linux app. I used chrome access and control for several days until it suddenly stopped working.

Browser discovery repeatedly fails during Statsig request-header policy initialization; direct initialization endpoint test succeeds.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Uploaded thread: 01a0bbd6-21ae-74b0-a2c5-1f377e2876e5

What is the expected behavior?

The app can control the chrome browser.

Additional information

No response

The report identifies a Statsig request-header policy initialization failure in Codex CLI 0.154.0, but it does not name a source file, test, or reproduction command. Start by reproducing the failure on Linux aarch64 and tracing the initialization path; done means the policy initializes successfully and a regression test covers the reported case.
