/codex:review hangs indefinitely on xcode/XcodeListWindows MCP call #250

Summary

/codex:review (run via codex-companion.mjs) calls the xcode/XcodeListWindows MCP tool and then hangs indefinitely. The tool call never logs a completion event and the review never finishes — the job stays in "running" / "investigating" until it's manually cancelled. Repro'd twice in a row on the same project.

Environment

• Codex plugin: openai-codex/codex/1.0.4
• Claude Code CLI
• macOS with Xcode 26.4.1 (Apple's built-in MCP server registered via xcrun mcpbridge — i.e. the xcode/* MCP, not the third-party xcodebuildmcp/*)
• Project: SwiftUI iOS app

Repro

/codex:review --base <sha>

Review progresses normally through many xcodebuildmcp/* tool calls (all complete in < 1 s each). At some point it calls xcode/XcodeListWindows and stalls. No completion event is ever logged.

Log excerpt

[21:17:13.523Z] Command completed: git show ... KidsBookAI/ContentView.swift (exit 0)
[21:18:25.543Z] Calling xcode/XcodeListWindows.
[nothing after — stuck 5+ minutes before I cancelled]

Every other tool call in the same run (both shell and xcodebuildmcp/*) completed fine. The hang is specific to the xcode/* MCP.

Impact

• Review has to be killed manually via /codex:cancel <job-id>.
• No partial review output is preserved, so the whole run has to start over.
• Happens repeatedly, not a one-off.

Suggested fixes

• Add a per-tool-call timeout / deadline in codex-companion.mjs so a hung MCP tool doesn't block the whole review indefinitely.
• Optionally skip xcode/* tools (or expose a flag like --no-xcode-mcp) until Apple's upstream MCP stabilizes — the xcodebuildmcp/* alternative already covers build/sim needs.
• Log a warning when a tool call exceeds some threshold (e.g. 60 s) so the user knows to cancel instead of waiting blind.
