When the dashboard runs under its checked-in React.StrictMode (gui/src/main.tsx:8), the effect in gui/src/pages/codex-set-prompt.tsx:424-449 starts a fetch, performs a cleanup that only marks its response ignored, and then starts a second fetch. The first request therefore holds this gate while the second receives HTTP 200 with ok: false; the second result is retained while the eventual successful first result is discarded, leaving prompt text and byte counts unavailable for the current mount. Coalesce callers onto the active probe, or deduplicate/abort the GUI request, and cover the concurrent lifecycle behavior instead of merely asserting that gate-related strings exist.

Hold probeActive until the child closes.
runProbe resolves immediately after settle sends SIGKILL at src/codex/prompt-text-probe.ts:123-124. The finally block then clears probeActive at lines 213-215, while the close handler may still be pending. A timeout, abort, output overflow, or child error can therefore admit another probe while the previous child is still terminating. Resolve only after close, or keep the admission gate held through a termination-cleanup promise.

Avoid spawning after request cancellation.
When signal?.aborted is already true, runProbe calls spawn() before checking the signal. This can start Codex and then kill it immediately. Check the signal before spawn() and resolve null without creating a child.

Test cancellation and serialization at runtime.
This test only searches source text. It can pass when the required strings appear in comments or unrelated code. It does not prove that a concurrent probe is rejected, an aborted child is terminated, stdout is closed, or the route passes the signal to the actual probe call.
Add a focused Bun test with a controllable child-process seam and an AbortController. Assert the observable cancellation and admission behavior.
As per path instructions, “A behavior change in src/ should come with a focused regression test near the existing tests for that subsystem.”
