This episode breaks down a critical Codex release bug caused by a GitHub release metadata schema change, and how the team added an embedded runtime fallback to keep installs from stalling. It also covers a severe Windows 11 issue where empty or corrupted .git folders trigger runaway process spawning, kernel memory leaks, and system crashes.
