This episode breaks down a silent Codex CLI hang on Windows caused by malformed local JSONL session logs, often triggered by PowerShell encoding issues and unescaped tool output. It also covers how to diagnose corrupted transcripts, recover a stuck session, and prevent the bug with UTF-8 PowerShell settings and the latest alpha release.
