Fix: Codex desktop app on Linux stuck on "Starting your task…"

If every new chat in the Codex / ChatGPT desktop app on Linux sits on "Starting your task…" forever, this may be your fix.

What's going on

A few milliseconds after startup, something inside the app binary replaces Node's (libuv's) SIGCHLD handler. After that, the app never finds out when its child processes exit:

• bash, git, ps and even codex app-server pile up as zombie (<defunct>) processes.
• The logs say the shell environment timed out and "Git is unavailable", even though git works.

; What we know
;   1. Digits in the number, 4 for 1234

;   2. What the divisor starting value should be
;      For a 4 digit number, 1000 

;   3. Each time divisor gets divided by 10
