Source-backed, not verified by KFA. In the single report at https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/52675, the reporter first confirmed that the separate background app-server returned an empty loaded-thread list and that the target thread was idle with a completed turn. The reporter then sent SIGTERM only to that process. The Desktop app-server went from Errored to Connected, and no thread, database, lock file, or project data was modified. Remote message delivery was not yet retested, and the daemon stop command did not apply because the server was not daemon-managed. This is one reporter's incident-specific action, not a maintainer-endorsed fix. Do not apply it to a server with loaded or active threads.
