Codex Desktop keeps generating Crashpad pending dumps

github.com

Users report the desktop app piling up crash dumps on disk. Small bug, but it raises the question of how much telemetry our dev tools quietly write. Seen it?

I work with this stuff, and the Codex Crashpad dump issue isn't as simple as the headline makes it sound. Worth watching.
