codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix A bug from today's update -windows codex stuck at the codex logo page [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

The issue with the Codex App getting stuck on the logo page may be resolved by rolling back to an older version of the Codex extension in VS Code, which repairs the shared auth/session state, allowing the standalone Codex app to work again.

Guidance

• Try rolling back the Codex extension in VS Code to a previous version to see if it resolves the issue with the standalone Codex app.
• After rolling back, restart the Codex app to check if it can initialize properly and move past the logo page.
• If the issue persists, attempt to switch between different versions of the Codex extension in VS Code and then try the standalone app again, as described in the steps to reproduce the bug.
• Be cautious when switching versions, as it may cause instability or other issues.

Example

No specific code snippet is applicable in this scenario, as the issue seems related to version compatibility and authentication state rather than code-level problems.

Notes

The exact mechanism by which rolling back the Codex extension in VS Code fixes the standalone app is not detailed, but it suggests a dependency or shared state issue between the two. This solution may not be permanent or ideal, especially if the newer version of the Codex app or extension introduces necessary features or security fixes.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Roll back the Codex extension in VS Code to a previous version to potentially resolve the authentication/state issue affecting the standalone Codex app. This is recommended because it has been observed to work in the provided scenario, although it may not be a long-term solution.
