Codex Startup Hang: Check Provider Auth CWD

An open bug report for Codex 0.163.0 describes sessions stuck on “Waiting for startup” when an unused provider’s command-based auth table omits cwd and the daemon’s startup directory has been deleted. Learn how to spot the risky config, choose a durable explicit cwd, and recover a stuck session; the episode also covers a prerelease terminal-input stall, a WSL2 resume workaround, and the new /side command.
