Codex get stuck while executing command

I’m seeing the same behavior. On gpt-5.3-codex, the approval prompt blocks the Codex input UI, but the agent keeps executing commands in the background anyway. This locks me out of typing/submitting, so the session becomes unusable until I restart the extension. Details: Model: gpt-5.3-codex (this does not happen for me when I select gpt-5.2-codex in the model selector!) Extension: openai.chatgpt 0.4.71 (published 2025‑08‑27, last released 2026‑02‑05) IDEs: both Cursor and VS Code (latest), same behavior in both! Symptom: approval dialog appears; command seems to run anyway; input box becomes unresponsive It started as soon as Codex 5.3 was released a couple days ago, so it’s clear that that release caused this to start acting up.
