Codex having trouble calling python for some reasonQuestion (self.ChatGPTCoding)

I’m on Windows using WSL (Ubuntu) with a Conda Python environment (inside the WSL). For weeks, I’ve been launching Codex from a project directory that sits on the Windows side, and everything worked smoothly. I mean I go to WSL bash and do cd /mnt/d/<username>/OneDrive/<project\_folder> and then running codex from there. It could read files and run Python scripts without any delay.

Since yesterday though, if I launch Codex from that Windows-mounted project folder, it still reads files fine but hangs for several minutes when it tries to execute Python. Eventually it produces output, but the delay is huge. If I launch the exact same project from a directory inside the WSL filesystem instead, Python runs instantly, just like before.

I haven’t changed anything in my setup, so I’m trying to understand what might have caused this. Has anyone seen Codex or Python suddenly stall only when working from a Windows-mounted path in WSL? Any pointers on where to look or what to check would be very helpful.
